Tekken 7 Reviews
Featuring excellent combat and deep customization, Tekken 7 is one of the best fighting games to come along in some time.
Tekken 7 is a typically strong entry in the franchise, but it doesn't unseat reigning champion Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
Few fighting games have had the longevity of the Tekken series, but Tekken 7 manages to both refine and add new wrinkles to an already solid formula. Wonky online issues aside, this is the best the series has looked in a decade.
The game pays compulsory lip service to everything that's not about getting pro players online.
The King of the Iron Fist may feel rusty in its sparse selection of story and offline offerings, but the real magic is found online where its arcade spirit keeps it not only alive but also relevant for a wider connected community from across the globe.
Tekken 7 is a bit disapointing in terms of graphics and game modes, but its typical gameplay, easy to pick up and hard to master, is still one of the best in its genre.

Tekken 7 will satisfy Tekken fans the world over, but won't impress anyone who hasn't already been won over by the franchise.
Tekken 7 is a great game that fullfill all what it proposes: it offers great and deep gameplay mechanics, enjoyable game modes, a cast of colorful and diverse characters, and splendid cinematics and scenarios. Sadly all of its contents doesn't go any further from what any other fighting gives and one of its most important features (the Story Mode) doesn't work so well. Overall it is a good game that, without a doubt, could have been better.

Tekken 7 doesn't revolutionize the series or the genre, but offers a well-made campaign and beefs up the proven battle system with new ideas.

Those crazy Mishima boys are at it again in Tekken 7, which spices up its volcanic, dysfunctional family drama with some new mechanics and one “Raging Demon.” Admittedly, a few more extra modes certainly would have been nice to have. A full-fledged campaign combined with rock-solid mechanics, fun customization and that flashy Tekken style, however, makes this game another hard-hitting entry in the popular fighting franchise.
For the absolute casual player, the recently released Injustice 2 is a better package. The cinematic Story and brilliant Multiverse provide the single-player fighter with more than enough reason to keep coming back. But Tekken 7 is the game that comes closest to truly satisfying both parts of the fighting game market.
As I pulled myself away from Tekken 7 to write this review, I was left torn. It gets so many things right, with its combat that feels like a substantial improvement over its predecessors and a solid roster that includes Akuma, one of my favorite fighting game characters of all time.
Bandai Namco isn't reinventing the wheel with Tekken 7, but it's been long enough that a solid entry in the franchise feels fresh. The new additions are small in scope but deliver in a big way, making this easily one of the best entries in the series.
Finally joining the fray for PlayStation 4, Tekken 7 is an excellent blend of action and detailed characters. With deep mechanics and fun gameplay, it's a worthy installment to one of the most prolific fighting series in history.
If you loved Tekken in the 90s, you'll love Tekken 7. It's a beautiful paint job, rather than a functional redesign, and it is glorious.
It's good to have Tekken back again. Tekken 7 successfully makes the jump from the arcades in Japan, with a cool customisation suite, a decent selection of modes and superb fight mechanics. You should probably go buy it now.
After many years, the king is back. Not without problems, but in terms of excitement and satisfying gameplay, Tekken 7 is now undefeated.

Hiding somewhere underneath the murky waters of the story is some of the best fighting action Tekken has ever delivered. Fights are an absolute joy to dive into, whether it's against the AI, against pals on the sofa, or against strangers online, and the diverse cast of fighters means there's someone out there for everybody. I just wish Tekken 7 didn't like the sound of its own voice so much.
What TEKKEN 7 does isn't all that revolutionary, no pun intended. However, TEKKEN 7 takes a chance by adding some things that may prove to extend its life in not only the Fighting Game Community but also in the casual market as well. A well-crafted story, tournament mode for organizers to utilize and a variety of fighters to choose from, TEKKEN 7 stakes its claim as one of the best fighting games to come out in a year where fighting games are stuck in the public eye.
It may not be packed to the brim with content or have the best story but Tekken 7 serves up a tantalizing mix of deep combat and character balance to keep fans busy for a long time.
