Aside from a few minor gripes, there isn’t a whole lot that’s not thoroughly great about Tekken 8. The fluidity of the combat, the option to be able to streamline combo strings, and the impressive attention to graphical detail are top-tier. The game only lacks in the most peripheral of ways, but what has always been gratifying about Tekken still pours out from every inch of this latest entry. Tekken 8 is not just a contender, but a champion amongst a legacy of worthy competitors.

Tekken 8 is like riding a bike, you might feel like you're looking at a game that changes little from the previous one, it can almost be described as an update, but its quality is phenomenal. The new fighters are a lot of fun to use, the graphic quality is stunning, the story mode entertains and Character Quest perfectly fulfills the role of a traditional Arcade mode. With a new focus on 3D space to bring the community together, Tekken 8 is positioned for an energetic and electrifying long ride with plenty of fun on the horizon.

Tekken 8 is one of the best games of the current generation and it was presented in a way that really makes you feel like you have moved on to the next generation. It also presented a story with epic events and a positive message, in addition to a fascinating playing style as usual and an amazing visual and audio aspect, but unfortunately it was plagued by some problems in the Arabic language and suffered from. Few playing rings.

With an excellent gaming year of 2023 behind us, with Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1, among others, receiving great praise, the competition in the land of fighting games is enormous. But fortunately, Tekken 8 takes on that competition with ease. Despite the steep learning curve, Tekken's combat is as usual, with the new Heat feature introducing some extra aggression into the game. Moreover, the game contains enough content to keep you busy for a while. Once you're done with the relatively short story mode, there are the Character episodes, the Arcade Quest mode and the excellent Ghost Battles to keep you fighting. And if you feel like you're good enough, take a step into multiplayer. It remains to be seen how the battle pass will take shape and how new fighters will be introduced. But after an absence of almost 10 years, Tekken is back, and these are golden times for fans of the genre.
