Tekken 5 was a small part of my childhood.
It's been quite long since I played a Tekken game for the last time... till recently.
Tekken's strongest aspect was always the gameplay, and Tekken 7's core gameplay is awesome; it's very complex, it looks clean and it feels smooth... it's basically Tekken gameplay at it's finest up this point.
The roster is great overall, even though there are few questionable additions in it.
The visuals and the audio design are good, they are very dynamic and impactful even to the gameplay.
The customization is fine and the music is... well, mediocre at best, disappointing compared to some of the previous games in the series. That's not a big deal in my opinion, however, Tekken 7 has some major flaws as well though.
Some animations and character elements feel outdated or unpolished.
The DLC characters are way too many in my opinion and half of them should've been included in the base game; locking classic Tekken characters behind a pay-wall is unacceptable.
The Arcade Mode is a joke; it's very short and irrelevant.
Also, the singleplayer content is just underwhelming.
Pros:
+ Amazing gameplay
+ Very good roster
+ Nice visuals
+ Decent customization
Cons:
- Some minor elements are outdated
- Too many DLC characters
- Singleplayer content
Narrative: ?/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Content: ?/10
Characters: 8/10
Music: 5/10
Graphics/Audio: 8/10
Final Rating: 7/10
- Good -
Tekken 7 is a lot of fun when playing multiplayer either offline or online, but unfortunately, it lacks polish and singleplayer content.
Do I recommend it?:
Yes, it's an enjoyable modern fighting game.
