I got all the Steam achievements, so I guess I can review it now.
Tekken 8 is a masterful fighting game. The gameplay is super welcoming to anyone, and the arcade quest mode works as the perfect tutorial for the game's many many systems. I haven't played Tekken since 5, so arcade quest was a huge help in getting my footing back. Tornados, heat rushes, and power crushes all make sense to me now, and that makes playing online so much more fun - I am actually winning a lot!
The game looks great, the music is great, and the main story mode is super fun and has the appropriate length. The story itself is kinda nonsensical but also builds on the foundation laid in every single game before it.
I could gush on forever so let's end this here. 2024 is going to be a fantastic games year!
