This is gonna be one of my first reviews with a focus on the multiplayer rather than the single-player. For reference, I wasn't a Tekken fan before this entry. I disliked Tekken 7 and how difficult it was to learn. However, I haven't had nearly the same experience with this game. Inputs feel better, the characters are all extremely cool, and I feel like the training the game gives me is so much better. I love the character variety and some of the universal mechanics making it easier to play the game and enjoy it. I think it is a great competitive game that you can jump into, find a character you like and play. Character customization is okay, but apparently it is worse than other Tekken games but I can't give much input. The music is fire, and includes earlier games so if you don't like this one, you can do some of the newer ones. I think the story is absolute hot garbage of bullshit that makes absolutely no sense. It feels extremely rushed and everything moves so quickly. It is better than Guilty Gear Strive but looked at Street Fighter 6's in comparison, this one is awful. But, the core gameplay of competitive fighting is just fantastic.
