I’m going to assume that most Tekken fans are no longer on the fence after seeing the overwhelmingly positive coverage of Tekken 8 over the last few weeks. Truth be told – Tekken 8 has earned that praise and more. Its immersive combat is fluid, cinematic, yet visceral. It sticks to its serious yet goofy roots through utilizing imaginative character archetypes and flat-out silly character customization. Its Special Style dramatically simplifies Tekken 8’s combat for new players to get them up to speed against series veterans like me. If you’re new to the series, Tekken 8 is the fighting game you should play this year. If you’re still deciding between which fighting game to play this year, Tekken 8’s combat and mechanics are the most satisfying yet. I highly recommend Tekken 8 – it’s helped 2024 start off on the right foot.
Tekken 8 is yet another great chapter in a series incapable of making missteps. The new mechanics change the skin of the game and, although the historical detractors will not find particular reasons to change their minds (the famous "volleyball simulator" for the emphasis placed on juggles), all the others will find an incredibly deep game, which will accompany them for several years to come. Who knows, maybe thanks to Ghosts even those who are completely resistant to online gaming will find the courage to take their first steps in a new world.
Absolutely incredible! I’m a gamer that has preferred the Mortal Kombat series. The latest, MK1 is very disappointing.
So I decided to check out Tekken 8 and I’m like wow!
Characters are great, graphics fantastic, sound in music are awesome. Tons of customization and coins for upgrading are easy to come by. There’s also paid customization, but you don’t have to go there.
Huge variety of gameplay modes. Including a very nice single player story and individual character missions. I’m not big on playing these games online, but this one does a great job of matchmaking.
I simply cannot recommend this game enough. It is fantastic.
Tekken 8 blows fresh air into the ultra-popular series that was slacking behind the competition in recent years, delivering one of the best fighting experiences of this generation and maybe ever.
It’s honestly a testament to how much fun the developers packed into the narrative experience. The game manages to entertain and poke fun at itself in equal measure, resulting in a terrific time for series vets and a solid introduction to the gameplay for newcomers.
Tekken 8 is a modern fighting game masterclass. It doesn't skimp on single-player modes, its online offering is robust, and it's a serious visual spectacle. But most importantly, the battles are brilliant; accessible yet deeply technical, and supremely satisfying to be a part of — perhaps more so than ever before. There's no fighting game series quite like Tekken, and Tekken 8 is the franchise at its bombastic best.
As a complete package, Tekken 8 doesn’t reach the heights of recent rivals like Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1. But when the match begins, and you’re exploiting openings to unleash flashy combo strings and air juggles, it remains a thrilling, if very familiar, one-on-one experience. The latest King of Iron Fist tournament still has work to do to feel wholly satisfying or ground-breaking, but it remains a fun arena to test your mettle against friends and rivals.
Tekken 8 is the definition of everything that is good about Bandai Namco's fighting game. It is dynamic with a technical section worthy of this generation and has entertaining game modes such as Heat Mode. It has a decent roster of characters with new additions that fit the formula very well.
I gave Tekken 8 a chance and whilst it is a solid fighting game I just found myself rather underwhelmed and completely disagree with the journalists shouting it's praises for single player content. Also numerous 10 scores on here feel as though they weren't made by actual people. Technically Tekken 8 is a great fighter, it looks fantastic with some real effort put into the story mode cinematics and blend with the gameplay. It's once you get past these things that Tekken 8 starts to not look so great, character customization is kind of terrible with anything worthwhile behind a paywall and not to mention the mtx shop that they decided to not mention during the build up towards the game being released which seemed very deliberate and predatory to cash in on great preorder sales. It is a shame that such a well constructed game could also be such a disappointment which gets pretty boring rather quickly once you've done the arcade story and tire of just playing online matches over and over again. The game deserves more than 0s and 1s but it's still a game I've already sold not feeling like I'll be investing in it any further.
- Nouvelle mécanique de heat très satisfaisante et intéressante
- Mode histoire assez médiocre, histoires de personnages pathétiques
- Custom ok
- Roaster de base très chouette
- Nouveaux personnages sympathiques mais sans plus
Another part, a bunch of characters, battles, battles, battles, something like a meaningful plot... And besides improved graphics, is there anything to pay attention to and spend time on? I don't think so.
Game has genuine issues like cheaters, rage quitters, a flawed ranked system, lobbies that don't function properly, and crashes that still haven't been addressed but Namco seems more interested in adding a costume shop that doesn't allow you to buy what you want without paying more than you need, and a battlepass with low-effort recycled items in a game that already costs $70 and sells you a yearly character pass for $40. Characters with such a huge effect on gameplay should not be put behind a paywall, especially when the game is being aggressively monetized in other ways. Even decent free to play games avoid being as blatantly pay to win as this game is right now, and it's only going to get worse as more characters get added to the game without the ability to even practice against them or use the replay takeover feature unless you pay **** actual gameplay is fun and there's a lot to like about the game but the scummy post-launch monetization paired with the other existing issues makes the game hard to recommend, as much as I love it.
