Tekken has always been a special game for the gaming community. Not only is one of the big three of the fighting game community alongside Street Fighter and currently, Guilty Gear, but it's also a game that revolutionizes the 3D Fighting game genre.

Tekken 8 comes up with a full package, a diverse roaster with amazingly redesigned characters from the series, as well as really flashy newcomers, a somewhat decent story mode with great nostalgia trips from old Tekken games, which is really rare in a fighting game, but it looks like everyone is starting to catch up, and an amazing battle system to duke it out against other players, the online mode has an amazing net-code in comparison to Tekken 7, feels more responsive and performs better overall, but it can be tricky sometimes.

If you're new to the series, Tekken introduces a really well-crafted training mode, with even ghosts you can download to practice matchups and gain a tactical edge against your rivals, it also features a more accessible controller, but in comparison with Street Fighter 6, it doesn't do much to make the game more comfortable to play, and easier to learn and master. Even with that in mind, Tekken is a really interesting game to get into right now, not because it's accessible, but because boosts the creativity and hype you can put on the game when you play against someone else, or even by yourself.
