Everything you could want in a fighting game. The story mode is very cinematic and has fantastic pacing. Arcade quest is a great way to learn the controls, and includes its own bite-sized story mode to keep it interesting.

There's even character episodes with full cinematics at the end for everyone. Tekken Ball also makes a return, and is just silly fun. Jukebox mode is also here, something that I wish was in more fighting game sequels. It lets you to choose music for any of the stages or menus from every previous Tekken game.

Super Ghost Battle allows you to make your own player ghost and fight anyone else's ghost online. It's a genius tool that also lets you continue fighting against someone who may have given you trouble, instead of having to add them to your friend's list.

Customizations is also back, and there's enough options to transform your character of choice into almost anything you want.

The gameplay is much more fast-paced than Tekken 7, and the new heat system makes you feel powerful even at the start.

Online matches feel great thanks to rollback netcode. It even has crossplay, which is still worth praising, because many fighting games still don't launch with this incredible feature. The more players, the better.
