While rocking the Unreal Engine 4, and backed with the kind of quality netcode that has yet to be seen in any other fighting game on PC, Tekken 7 is the premiere fighting game experience for those seeking an endless stream of competition.

Tekken 7 ist ein würdiger Nachfolger der Reihe, der alte Standards beibehält und gleichzeitig gekonnt mit neuen Features überrascht – und das erstmals auch auf dem PC. Ganze 10 neue Kämpfer sorgen für frischen Wind und laden Anfänger, aber auch alteingesessene Profis, dazu ein, neue Kampfstile auszuprobieren.

Tekken 7 doesn’t reinvent itself, but it doesn’t need to because it always has been, and still is, one of the best fighting games around.

Tekken 7 is a complete package, brilliant graphics, superb sound and top notch gameplay. It does leave a little to be desired in teaching its tight mechanics to newcomers and the story mode can drag on however, at the end of it all, you would be hard pressed to find a fighter this entertaining.

Tekken 7 is a well-balanced fighting game with a fantastic starting roster and crazy amount of combos. The customization is fun and there’s more than enough content to justify a purchase if you’re a fan of the genre. The only things holding the game back are the long loading times and connection problems in multiplayer. Trophy hunters will be pleased with a quick and enjoyable platinum trophy.

The children begin loving their parents, then they judge them. Rarely, if never, forgive them. So this chapter of Tekken also closes, although it contains some small ripples at the narration level, certainly succeeds in involving itself as only that beaten Bandai knows how to do it.

Hands down Tekken 7 is one of the finest and most balanced fighting games in recent times, that not only takes everything good about the old games, but has balanced certain mechanics and their imparting damages so that it doesn’t intimidate new players.

Overall I think Tekken succeeds in living up to the legacy its established and for me personally I think this is the best Tekken game since 5. The weird way character endings are presented was really off putting, and the main story was short and not all that great. A larger main story as well as challenging the player to actually earn the character endings would’ve made it a whole lot better. But at its core it’s a damn fine fighting game and it’ll be keeping me invested for a long, long time.

Tekken series has been with us for 23 long years. During that time, Namco has made some of the best games of the fighting genre, but for some time this series couldn't find the right way. However, now with Tekken 7, this well-known brand is back in the saddle. The game has problems with uninteresting story mode and older looking visuals, but it's still the king of fighters, deserving of your attention.

Tekken 7 is a massive milestone for the series in terms of gameplay, but a poor story and lack of offline modes might work against it.

Overall, this is a title that has stood the test of time and all the additional content is, in my opinion, justified. In addition to DLC, players also received updates that corrected not only bugs, but also the user interface for example, or supplied cosmetic accessories for free. Tekken 7 takes the recommendation of 8 points, which is a respectable number. It definitely ranks among the best games of its genre.

I came away from Tekken 7 with a greater appreciation for the series than I went in. I enjoyed my time with the story mode, and it did help me to better understand the unique flow to combat that the game has. I also really enjoyed some of the newer characters; this game has a more rounded cast than previously. But I still struggle to get along with the approach to presentation.

While the gaming system remains solid and to some extent accessible, TEKKEN 7 almost does not add to the legacy of the franchise. Individual modes are few, story mode is poorly achieved and although modes like Treasure Battle is addictive and fun, it is not enough.

If this turns out to be the last Tekken, it's great to see the franchise go out on its shield.

Tekken 7 not only brings back all the great memories of this impeccable fighting series, but offers some new combat tricks, too.

In general, Tekken 7 has a much more technical structure than latest Injustice, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter games. The game's gameplay, graphics and performance are very pleasing. Story is very strong at some points and it's a great finale. But in terms of content, Mortal Kombat X and Injustice 2 are definitely better than this game. Especially the scenario mode of the game unfortunately has a duration of between one and two hours.

It might not be drastically different, but this entry is still a smooth and deep fighting game, not to mention exciting, with a large roster of characters, and a decent amount of content, while still being more suited for versus play.

In short, Tekken 7 is a phenomenal fighting game, but it's not without issues. Players have hundreds if not thousands of exciting matches to look forward to. Grasping the complexities of movement and learning characters is an involved process that'll cause anyone to lose track of time. However, the developer continues to focus their energies on features that simply aren't worth the trouble. The Mishima Saga, with its cheap battles and dishwater dull story, is a relic from an era best left forgotten. The broken matchmaking is also a very serious issue, so hopefully it's addressed in short order. Still, this fighter is highly recommended.

Regarding its gameplay and multiplayer, Tekken 7 provides the best: new mechanics, balance, great variety of characters and even a never before seen online mode. However, its single-player, something the series is appraised for, is a letdown. There are few options and the lone player, instead of playing them, will take his time customizing his characters.
