I enjoyed Tekken 8 and found it challenging during the short time I played. However, the significant time investment required to see noticeable improvement ultimately deterred me from continuing. While I love fighting games and the Tekken series, my current schedule doesn't allow me to dedicate the necessary time.

The story mode was entertaining; it involved a lot of button-mashing in assist mode as I tried to piece together what I remembered from the series' overarching narrative.

In the 52 hours I played from its release until February 26, I mainly used Kuma and Azucena, both of whom were delightful characters. Perhaps one day I'll return to Tekken 8, especially if Julia is added as downloadable content. Until then, my journey with Tekken 8 has come to an end.
