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:
(+ = (mostly) positive; - = (mostly) negative)
++ 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.


Recommend?
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.
