The last Tekken game I played a lot was Tag Tournament 2. I even managed to get a platinum trophy back in the day. When Tekken 8 was about to release, I thought back of the joy I had back then and decided to give this one a try. Still a lot of fun, but came to the conclusion I was not as good as at I thought. Still managed to get Alisa to Garyu nonetheless.

My thoughts:

++ Gameplay;
Addicting gameplay and managed to learn some combo's. Mostly only played alisa, because she used to be my main. Barely touched the side stuff you could do aside from the main story, some character story's, arcade story and customization.

++ Music;
It has all music from all Tekken games + the new music they added is also very good. Good stuff.

+ Graphics;
Played it on high settings on my PC, and it looked perfectly fine. Nothing special, but wish the customization had a bit more options that weren't locked behind a paywall.

+- Story/Characters;
Main story is ehh.... But the goofy side stories make up for it. Truely not the highlight of the game.

It's somewhat casual friendly and teaches you how to get better at the game. If you're interesed in a 2D (actually 3D) fighting game, I'd probably recommend this series.

This game is something special. I got into ff7 not too long ago, but it already feels like this series has been part of my life for years. OG FF7 and FF7 Remake are truely super fun games, but this one has been cooking so hard it became one of the best meals I've had in my life. I've not been bored after playing for more than 90 hours, which is truely unique for me.

++ Gameplay;
Everything has been improved from the previous game. More fun combat options, smoother gameplay and a wider variety of minigames. I enjoyed exploring all area's, doing all battles and even the tasks that are supposed to be boring/annoying were fun to me. There is sooo much to do, and it never feels forced imo. If the 3rd game is only half as good as this one, it'll still be a super enjoyable game.

++ Music;
Crazy new remixes and new original songs. Never got bored of it and everything fits the mood perfectly. Also for certain scenes it adds so much and gives hints about the story. By that I mean, the visuals might not be what it seems to be thanks to the music that's playing in the background. (which is a good thing)

+ Graphics;
All cutscenes are gorgeous, but during gameplay the light is sometimes overexposed.
All areas are unique, memorable and fun to explore. I like how heavy crowded some places are.

++ Story/Characters;
Let them cook. it's crazy how everything is familiar and new at the same time. This is how you do a remake. You still have the story from the OG game, but at the same time it'll give you so many new things and hints to keep you engaged. The ending was a bit confusing at first, but after looking at it again and again it only gets better and better. I've been watching hours of theories from Maximillian_Dood and it's crazy how much hidden stuff is in the game.


Recommend?
Yes, but play the Remake first. If you haven't play Crisis Core as well.
I'd recommend playing the OG as well to see all thats different, but it's not a must. Should be fine to play that after the remakes as well.

Dopamine the game. Truely a fun game which is simpel to control but complicated enough to not get boring.

+ Gameplay;
Simple yet addicting. What I liked most is how the game expanded the more you play it. New characters, attacks, items, levels and more. Played it for several hours till and managed to defeat the "final boss".

+ Music;
Great collection of music which all have 3 variations.

- Graphics;
Sadly the art isn't it's strong point. It even has some traced art which is disappointing.

+- Story/Characters;
Non existent aside from some small things.

Recommend?
Barely costs anything and gives you hours of entertainment. I'd recommend it, even tho it doesn't look that fun in the trailers. You have to experience it.
