Tekken 7 Reviews
Tekken 7 is the fighting experience that its fan base wanted it to be.
Tekken 7 will satisfy Tekken fans the world over, but won't impress anyone who hasn't already been won over by the franchise.
Tekken 7 never ceased to amaze. For a “fighting game”, it has a deep list of features and characters that will have you busy for hours. Thankfully, the fight money comes quick and often to have you customizing your characters the way you want. The story mode is engaging and dramatic in ways it hasn’t been for years, and is almost sad to see this saga end. Tekken 7 embraces its history with humor, seriousness, and respect for all to enjoy.
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.
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.

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.

Does super-smooth Tekken on PC sound good to you? If so, buy. If not, try.
Tekken 7 is a worthy fighting game that anyone can pick up and play, but also further perfect on a highly technical level when desired
It may not be packed to the brim with content or have the best story but Tekken 7 serves up a tantalizing mix of deep combat and character balance to keep fans busy for a long time.
Tekken 7 not only brings back all the great memories of this impeccable fighting series, but offers some new combat tricks, too.
With a robust roster, challenging and technical gameplay that’s also accessible to newcomers, and plenty of content to keep you occupied both online and offline, Tekken 7 is an easy pick if you’re after a new fighting game to master.
Tekken 7 truly is a hallmark, a fighting game crafted with obvious affection. It strikes a fine balance between accessibility to series newcomers and retaining much of its technical traditions. The soundtrack is an electronic treat, and while the story can at times seem a bit cliche, the fact that it never takes itself too seriously lets it bring in a tremendous amount of flexible character customization. Its dedication to the details helps push it into the position of my favorite fighting game of 2017 so far.
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.
Tekken 7 is held back from being an epic fighting game by a lack of modes and clunky UI design, but the core game is beautiful, stable and an absolute joy to play and master. Prepare your thumbs for a serious workout.
Overall, Tekken 7 is a great addition to the franchise. It mixes things up enough to keep the gameplay fresh but at the same time, keeps things familiar for older fans.
If you’re a fan of the Tekken series, you’re bound to enjoy Tekken 7, but don't expect to want to play the game on your own as much as you would have in the series' glory days.
Fans of Tekken should love Tekken 7. There's a ton to do, the roster is better than ever, and many of the new mechanics add even further to the depth and options players have at any given moment. The Treasure Battle mode and unlockable customization items add tons of hours and silly fun to Tekken 7's shelf-life, and the unlockable gallery items show a level of care and dedication to Tekken as not only a franchise IP, but a long-lasting art with an important, meaningful history. On the other hand, I doubt the sloppy, incomprehensible story mode will do much for anyone who doesn't care about, uh, Tekken lore, and a fighting game with the amount of depth Tekken has not having similar learning tools that most of the competition has is a glaring drawback. Ultimately, the core of Tekken is unlike anything else in the genre, and getting people together to figure it out and get your hands dirty is always a blast. Tekken 7 continues with the care and polish a series of its caliber deserves.
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.
