Mario Super Sluggers has everything it needs to be an almost perfect follow up to Mario Superstar Baseball but without an option to play with a regular controller the game gets a little bit stuck with the swinging and shaking gimmicks.
The story mode is everything you could ever want, one of the best ways a story for a sport spin off has been handled, WAY COOL. 11 Year Old me loved it, 21 year old me still loves it.

TL;DR: An incredibly well made Tekken experience for everybody, whether brand new to the series or a long time fan and competitor.
Tekken will always hold a special place for me (so obviously I am a little bit biased here) I grew up going to the local arcade/pizza place with my best friends JUST to play Tekken 3 for hours on end.
Tekken 8 feels like the next step for Tekken. It's hard to put this into words because I loved Tekken 7 and I believe I put something close to 800 hours into that game (at least 100 of those hours were spent in Tekken Bowl, but I digress) Tekken 8 is very clearly, to me, the Super Smash Bros Ultimate to Tekken 7's Super Smash Bros For Wii U/3DS.
Everything that felt like it was expanded on (just a little bit) in Tekken 7 feels fully fledged out in Tekken 8. The single player experience is INFINITELY better: The Dark Awakens is a VERY well done campaign AND Arcade Quest is an incredible way to teach new players the works of the game without forcing them into a training room or combo challenge. (Doing combo challenges and the very in-depth training room are still fully available though, as always)
And the Heat mechanic, while frustrating to play against at a lower level, becomes one of the most intricate and interesting pieces of playing the game, making the purchase of Tekken 8 worth it just to see the new combo routes that the heat dashes and openers offer.
Also, Kuma has an EWGF and they made Heihachi into a super cool chick with purple hair, so that's super cool for me (Kuma(and Panda)/Heihachi main)

Really cool AND ABSOLUTELY deserves Game of The Year 2023 BUT I am realizing as I get into the 158th hour of gameplay that I really don't LOVE the D&D dice roll shenanigans and such BUT then again... I love that damn vampire...
