Platinumed on PS5

Yep, It's Tekken.

This is Tekken at its most technical, I mean seriously the amount of moves and combos is just nuts. Out of all the modern fighting games, I think this is the one I play the most.

The roster is kinda wack honestly, not really my thing. This could just be nostalgia talking, but I've preferred rosters from many of the previous games and I'm not really a big fan of these new characters. Also, some of the classic characters are DLC? that's some scummy shit man. Overall, a pretty mid roster.

I don't really need to tell you about the actual gameplay, there's not much to say. It is again, the most technical Tekken, it's the most advanced and polished one. Everything is fluid and perfected.

The aesthetic of this game is ok, not really my kinda thing but it gets the job done. Also with the soundtrack, it's ok but just not really my style. Not a big fan.

Now discussing the story, it's pretty decent. I played through it all on the 5 star difficulty, and it's not that hard until the final boss, which I don't want to really spoil but fuck man that final boss is so hard, and it's just kinda balls. Giving your boss super armor does not make for a good final fight. Back to the story, it's like the overall story is confusing but the specific bit of the story in 7 is easy to understand and follow. It goes by pretty fast and pushes the story forward, and of course leaves an opening for Tekken 8. One thing though, kinda disappointing there's no tournament in this one, but it is what it is.

Highly recommend this game, it's kinda your only option for a modern Tekken, unless you've got a PS3 or 360 and want to go boot up Tag Tournament 2 or 6.

3rd best Tekken game ever made in my opinion.
