Tekken 7 Reviews
Tekken 7 has the barebones basics for a good fighter, but it's missing the trimmings that make it worth recommending over bigger, and cheaper competition.
With all the superfluous about, it's a good thing that Tekken 7 really relies on its core mechanics.
At its core, Tekken 7 manages to prove that the series still has a place after 20 years, showing no signs of slowing down. Newcomers will find their way into the game quite easily, and experienced players will be able to jump back into it and find most of their favourite characters ready to go and familiar to play with.
Tekken 7 is institutional progress and austere form cloaked in spectacle and absent of risk. Its periphery can't keep pace with 2017 and its core feels like it's running the same race Tekken already won almost a decade ago. This doesn't stop Tekken 7 from being the best 3D fighter on current platforms, but it's easy to stand atop a podium unchallenged by legitimate competitors.
A game that embraces its ridiculousness, and celebrates the genre's strengths.
For the first time in nearly a decade it feels like the Tekken series has undergone an evolution of sorts, with the Rage Arts and Drive mechanics making for a decidedly different feeling game. Your mileage may vary in regards to these changes but to be fair you're never forced to employ Rage Arts and can elect to continue to duke it out old school if that's more your speed.
It is only right to say that Tekken 7 PC is undoubtedly the best version currently available on the market.

A worthy installment to the 'Tekken' series, this is one of the most entertaining fighters you're likely to play all year, of which there will be many options. The customization and online play make 'Tekken 7' ideal to take up most of your summer.
While Tekken 7 does sort of go back to its roots and rights the wrongs of some of its predecessors (mainly Tekken 6) it does leave a little to be desired from a story perspective and the rage system feels more like an adaptation of systems from other fighters instead of a new system to help make the game feel unique in the genre
If you’re a fan of the Tekken series, you’re bound to enjoy Tekken 7, but don't expect to want to play the game on your own as much as you would have in the series' glory days.
Fans of Tekken should love Tekken 7. There's a ton to do, the roster is better than ever, and many of the new mechanics add even further to the depth and options players have at any given moment. The Treasure Battle mode and unlockable customization items add tons of hours and silly fun to Tekken 7's shelf-life, and the unlockable gallery items show a level of care and dedication to Tekken as not only a franchise IP, but a long-lasting art with an important, meaningful history. On the other hand, I doubt the sloppy, incomprehensible story mode will do much for anyone who doesn't care about, uh, Tekken lore, and a fighting game with the amount of depth Tekken has not having similar learning tools that most of the competition has is a glaring drawback. Ultimately, the core of Tekken is unlike anything else in the genre, and getting people together to figure it out and get your hands dirty is always a blast. Tekken 7 continues with the care and polish a series of its caliber deserves.
Tekken 7 is a fighting game with a great gameplay, but with few content in the single player mode. The story, however, is pleasing and full of content, unlike what happened in the previous chapters. Tekken 7 is the most balanced and immediate Tekken ever, too.

Tekken 7, the latest entry in the long-running franchise, delivers what fighting genre fans love about multiplayer battles, but there isn't enough new material to make it truly stand out from the increasingly competitive options in the fighting genre.
If you're a fan of the series, Tekken 7 will blow your bloody socks off. And if not, well, it's still likely to impress if you give it the chance.
Tekken 7 not only brings back all the great memories of this impeccable fighting series, but offers some new combat tricks, too.
When you get down to it, this is a game with a cast of 35 characters, including two bears, three robots, a vampire, history's buffest grandpa, a dude from another game series who's now been inexplicably written into Tekken lore, a lady who throws tigers, and whatever the hell Yoshimitsu is. It's a flashy, delirious mess whose love for all that messiness is tangibly honest and infectious.
Tekken 7 is a well crafted technical fighter that tries to do some experimentation while not sacrificing core gameplay to do so. A lot of the little add-ins seemed like fun ideas the dev team wanted to play with, and did so in a way that respects the players, be them Evo champions or noobs to the series. At the end of the day, it's all about the fight, and the fight is good.
An amazing fighting game. Period.
Offline, everything in Tekken’s garden is rosy, but online it looks like someone has been at it with the weedkiller.
Tekken 7 is a great entry in the series that doesn’t take many chances in the gameplay department but has a bold story-mode and a very addictive Treasure Mode that will keep you coming back to the game time after time.
