Bandai Namco's has taken the whole fighting genre to a whole different level with this game from campaign to arcade quest/character customization to Tekken ball and even the online is pretty dope especially the graphics are insane and the amount of good customization you can do in this game for graphics wise is so good.

Campaign - Honestly one of my favourite fighting game campaigns thus far, everything was just perfect from character's, fights, interactions/dialogue and they even added in multiple fights where you fight multiple enemies that was pretty dope and we CAN NOT forget how good the music was. They put the best type of music for the situations and that ending was fire with the final boss fight in the last 2 chapters along side the music playing made me wanna dance while fighting. I really hoped we would of gotten more scenes with Zafina though but all well. The last 2 chapters in the campaign had me getting so hyped not only because of the music but also how they did the fights and slow motion between Jin and Kazuya punches was crazy.

Arcade Quest - This is an interesting mode but I liked how they did it, it's a mode where you create your own character to fight in tournaments and grind levels it's basically like treasure battle in Tekken 7 how you level up to different ranks but in this you rank up via battles to reach the final tournament which takes about 90-120 minutes depending on skill. Like I said very interesting mode they have decided to add but I liked it and it was enjoyable creating the character I did.

Character Episodes - This mode was in Tekken 7 but A LOT more characters added in this mode, I played only 10 episodes and the characters were Kazuya Mishima, Devil Jin, Alisa Bosconovich, Zafina, Azucena, Reina, Nina Williams, Jun Kazama, Ling Xiaoyu & Lili. I thought all character's ending were pretty cool and this mode was chilled. Nothing else to say about this mode basically a mini campaign for each character.

Tekken Ball - Fun mode where you hit a ball to damage either a CPU or an online player. Wasn't really interested in this mode to be honest but I at least tried it out and it was a little fun but meh.

The Roster was stacked in this compared to Tekken 7 to be honest I don't know which roster I love more, I am excited to see what DLC characters they decided to add to this game! This was also WAY EASIER then tekken 7 in the terms of achievements/platinum trophy, kinda wanted a harder list but it is what it is I guess. By far from the main roster theses has to be my favourite characters - Zafina, Azucena, Reina, Lili and Ling Xiaoyu but like Reina is BADASS man I don't wanna spoil anything but wow I was surprised with what happened with her I guess we are getting a tekken 9 and I can not wait to see her development continue!

There is really only 3 achievements that take not too long but 90 - 120 minutes, I wouldn't say grindy just takes long due to cutscenes. The 5 achievements are:
" Get ready for the next battle! ' - Finished Arcade Quest. Along the way you will get the 3 promotion ranks.
" This should be fun. " + " Power isn't everything. " - Finished 5 Character Episode stories. & 10 Character Episodes.
" Despair " + " Hope " - Finished Chapter 15 of The Dark Awakens with Kazuya Mishima victorious. & Finished Chapter 15 of The Dark Awakens with Jin Kazama victorious.
The rest of the achievements are fairly easy and can be done pretty fast it's just theses 5 that take a little longer if you skip cutscenes you can get them done faster but I recommend watching them because the story is dope!

Approximate amount of time to platinum/100% in achievements 7-9 hours. It took me 9.5 hours.

Another big fighting title that has taken its time over the last 10 years to find ways to keep Tekken at the forefront of 3D fighters. Tekken wasn't always my preferred 3D fighter game but after soulcalibur and dead or alive have not found their reason to release a new entry I found myself indulging in T7 and now, Tekken 8.

This was always a series I've always known for its wonderful soundtracks and to give a shoutout the amazing jukebox addition they added to the game which allows me to back in time with previous tekken titles and use those songs onto stages instead of certain T8 tracks.

I would watch my older brother play or fight against on tekken becuase of the punishment and strategy of learning how to play a Tekken game, The story was truly exciting and genuinely one of my favourites, and im currently waiting on my fightstick to arrive after sadly my 10 year old breaking on me, Online will eventually see me and I can't wait to mess around and lab with certain characters

I would recommend this game to anyone that finds interest in fighting games, this is another wonderful entry into the series and involves large amounts of fun & customisation, if you're wanting to make your character look like drake..

5/5 mik review

Building an over-powered AC and sticking with it can break the game a little, but some self-imposed experimentation can keep the gameplay rewarding through the end.

Though there's also a fun power fantasy to be found in blasting through bosses with an immaculate build -- I highly recommend trying a lightweight quad-shotgun setup.

Also: do not be fooled the first time you see the credits roll!! you have not finished AC6 until you have played it thrice!!

+ Great Combat, likely one of the most naturally cinematic combat systems out there.
+ Great Art Direction
+ Surprisingly engaging Story and Characters
+ Great customization
+ Stupid chaotic 3v3 PvP
+ Rusty

- Chapter 1 is honestly full of pretty boring missions, the rest of the game makes up for it big time though.
- Some classic From Soft issues: Camera problems, a couple weird hitboxes, etc. Not a big deal most of the time.

Lessons from Persona 5

1. Opening yourself up to other results in positive feelings on both sides

2.Tackle every challenge, especially if it’s difficult or people doubt in your ability to defeat it.

3. “When you fall, you’ve got to get back up!”

4. “Men are idiots though...We spend our time chasing after things we can’t get.”

5. Time passes, and whether you like it or not, if you don’t work, you won’t grow.

6. Reading books improves everything.

7. “One must concede defeat with grace – maintaining dignity until the very end.”

8. “The most important part of your life is how you choose to live it.”
