For better or worse Tekken 7 stays grounded to its arcade roots. The console fighting game scene seems to have changed in the meantime.

The frenetic fighting and over-the-top fun of Tekken 7 is great, but it's let down by light offline modes and online matchmaking that, right now, simply isn't working well enough.

While that core combat is still strong, I'm personally getting a bit weary of Tekken relying on it's barely changed core combat to keep it relevant in a world where fighting games are fast evolving into vastly more rounded products. Tekken 7's combat isn't bad, it's just a bit stagnant, and I don't know how much longer it can get away with that reliance on not fixing what ain't broke.

Finally joining the fray for PlayStation 4, Tekken 7 is an excellent blend of action and detailed characters. With deep mechanics and fun gameplay, it's a worthy installment to one of the most prolific fighting series in history.

As the first entry for the current console generation, Tekken 7 is also a great entry point (lack of tutorials aside). Loads of colorful characters, tight gameplay, and lots of fun customization and unlockables will keep fighting-game fans entertained for months.

Tekken is back, and the seven installment might be the best in the series so far. The mechanics is as tight as ever, and the new Rage mechanics make it a bit deeper. As always, Tekken is fun for both the newcomers as well as long time fans of the series.

Tekken 7 is a great addition to the series especially after T6. The game was able to bring new features, keep all of its advantages... and some disadvantages. The combat system is still based on the juggling and despite the low barrier to entry, has great potential to study the many nuances. The seventh part is perfect not only for fans of the series, but to all the players who missed the mechanics of three-dimensional fighting games. Additionally, the project can be recommended to achievement hunters. If you make an effort, you can get a Platinum trophy in just one day.

We may be missing a few of the series' beloved characters and load times may hinder it slightly, but one thing is certain — Tekken is still an addictive fighting franchise that definitely deserves its place in 2017.

Tekken 7 feels like the return for the series. After some bumps in the PS2 and PS3 era this series really feels like it is regaining its footing. There is a lot of content here for casuals and solo players, and the hardcore will love the under-the-hood changes. There is something for everyone, which most fighting games fail to capitalize on. If you have been out of the Tekken game for a while, it is finally time to return.

If you loved Tekken in the 90s, you'll love Tekken 7. It's a beautiful paint job, rather than a functional redesign, and it is glorious.

This is possibly the best Tekken has ever been, and a slightly slim selection of modes can't take away from that. If you want one of the best fighting games to be released this year, Tekken 7 is essential.

Aside from some perplexing omissions, Tekken 7 is a roaring success where it truly matters; in its mechanics, its dynamism, and its ability to engage the player through its concise presentation. Make no mistake, the King is back.

The new chapter of this legendary beat'em up saga is bigger, bolder and faster: with a new graphics engine, new characters, new combat tecniques and tons of new game modes, it's definitely a must-have for every virtual fighter out there. And somehow, after all these years, the combat system still manages to make the player feel truly powerful.

In terms of gameplay, Tekken 7 is masterful. Its overhauled rage system gives its already punchy combat a whole new dynamic, while helping to level the playing field for more casual players. Its story mode isn't quite the blockbuster that it thinks it is, but the insanely addictive treasure battle makes up for that on the single player front. Meanwhile, its online components can't be faulted – the newly introduced tournaments being a real highlight. Tekken 7 is a fantastic fighting game, and one of the best entries in the series.

With a stunning art style and a well-balanced gameplay, Tekken 7 confirms itself as an extraordinary fighting game: probably the best chapter of the series since Tekken 3.

Tekken 7 is a typically strong entry in the franchise, but it doesn't unseat reigning champion Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
