A Familiar Face in the Gaming Realm
FIGHTING game fans have been eating well over the last 12 months, and in February it was time for one more game to throw its hat into the Tekken.
A Decade in the Making
Tekken 7 was released in 2015, meaning that fans have been waiting almost a decade to play more of their beloved series.
An Arcade Quest for All
There are new characters for veterans to learn and an Arcade Quest for beginners.
A Bewildering Storyline
The story is, and has always been, utter nonsense, and while we won’t get into Jin’s global war or Kazuya’s Devil Gene, it is continued here.
Newcomer-Friendly Features
While the plot is as baffling to new fans as ever, a lot has been done to bring newer players into the combat.
A Rewarding Combat System
The Heat system now has two methods of activation, allowing newer players to get to grips with things, while also rewarding veterans for their skill.
A Series with a Steep Learning Curve
Tekken has never been the most approachable series, but there are still things you can enjoy as a newcomer.
A Variety of Gameplay Options
Alongside story matches adjusted for your level, there are mini-games like Tekken Ball and Tekken Force to keep you entertained.
An Arcade Quest for Beginners
The developers have added in an Arcade Quest to help newcomers ease into actual online play and learn the basics.
A Diverse Roster of Characters
Tekken offers 32 characters in the roster, including new and familiar faces, so that even veterans might find someone they love.
An Improved Experience
If you played the closed beta test, you might have been left disappointed, but everything has been improved here for the full release.
A Safer Play
While Tekken 8 doesn't offer anything too new, there is still a lot to love about the latest installment.
A Must-Have for Die-Hard Tekken Fans
Die-hard Tekken fans are sure to love it, and there are more tools than ever before for those new to the franchise.
The Final Verdict
Tekken 8 is still just another Tekken game, but sometimes that’s all it needs to be.
