Tekken 7 Reviews
A smart, blisteringly fun experience at its core, Tekken 7's limited singleplayer campaign and poor tutorials marr an otherwise resounding win.
Tekken 7 truly is a hallmark, a fighting game crafted with obvious affection. It strikes a fine balance between accessibility to series newcomers and retaining much of its technical traditions. The soundtrack is an electronic treat, and while the story can at times seem a bit cliche, the fact that it never takes itself too seriously lets it bring in a tremendous amount of flexible character customization. Its dedication to the details helps push it into the position of my favorite fighting game of 2017 so far.
Fun fighting marred by an underwhelming package.
Despite some narrative missteps, Tekken 7 is still a compelling, exhilarating experience. Find the right sparring partner and it will entertain you indefinitely.
New players may have issues diving into deeper intricacies of the fighting system, but this is still a fun fighter that balances absurd fun and technical mastery
Tekken 7 is a sweet reward for anyone who's been following along for more than two decades, but it could do a lot more to onboard new fans — especially considering the uneven story and lack of a strong tutorial. Still, if you want to spend the time (and look for help on YouTube), Tekken 7's unforgettable characters and fluid fights are worth the work.
Despite some faults outside of the ring, Tekken 7's diverse cast and time-honored fighting system make it one of the best 3D fighting games around.
If you're ready to hit and kick other players until they stop moving, whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newbie just getting your feet wet, Tekken 7 is the real deal.
The king of 3D fighters makes a triumphant return.
Does super-smooth Tekken on PC sound good to you? If so, buy. If not, try.
Tekken 7 is the fighting experience that its fan base wanted it to be.
There's no denying Tekken 7 is oe of the best fighters around, and once the online servers are fixed, it has the potential to be the best fighters out there.
The frenetic fighting and over-the-top fun of Tekken 7 is great, but it's let down by light offline modes and online matchmaking that, right now, simply isn't working well enough.
Tekken 7 may not have invested much effort in its simple story and unconnected events, but in turn has provided a style of play that combines simplicity and skill with a set of improvements that have made each battle possess its own character like Rage Drive and a huge list of more than 30 characters available to play with, including 9 New characters, and the ability to modify the appearance of any fighter, but unfortunately the game suffers from various problems in the Internet connection.

New engine, new characters, new combat techniques and new game modes. Tekken 7 is still the king of 3D fighting games, but there would have been some more risk and evolution of the franchise after so many years of waiting. The story of the Mishima is the central mode, but it fails to satisfy us as much as it promised to the core fans.

Tekken 7 may not be the perfect entry point for newcomers into the long and twisted narrative that follows the Mishima Zaibatsu, but they will unmistakably have fun with the rock solid gameplay and mechanics. With the addictive Treasure Battle mode, deep character customization, and strong character options, Tekken 7 is one of the best titles in the 23 year-old series.
While Tekken 7 doesn't offer a lot of varied game modes, it excels with the ones that it does feature. The fighting features enough new additions and familiarity to appease experts, while remaining as accessible as ever for newcomers. On top of that, the numerous customization options ensure that there's always something worth fighting for, in-between trying to prove dominance online. The Mishima Saga carries on the series legacy in the sense that it's a mess of a story, but even that spotlights how well Tekken's visuals have adapted to the new generation of hardware. With an iron fist, Tekken 7 proves that it deserves to stand with the best in the genre.
Tekken 7 is a phenomenal fighting game experience and one I'd highly recommend. It's by no means perfect, as the game is not without a few technical issues online, some long loading times, and minor continuity errors, yet as far as most people will be concerned, it delivers a stunning, up-to-date fighting game experience from one of the masters of arcade fighting games. A solid return to form.
Despite its consummate depth, Tekken 7 doesn't do enough to push the franchise forward.
