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.

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.

After many years, the king is back. Not without problems, but in terms of excitement and satisfying gameplay, Tekken 7 is now undefeated.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

It is only right to say that Tekken 7 PC is undoubtedly the best version currently available on the market.

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.

A game that embraces its ridiculousness, and celebrates the genre's strengths.

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.

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.

I came away from Tekken 7 with a greater appreciation for the series than I went in. I enjoyed my time with the story mode, and it did help me to better understand the unique flow to combat that the game has. I also really enjoyed some of the newer characters; this game has a more rounded cast than previously. But I still struggle to get along with the approach to presentation.

While the gaming system remains solid and to some extent accessible, TEKKEN 7 almost does not add to the legacy of the franchise. Individual modes are few, story mode is poorly achieved and although modes like Treasure Battle is addictive and fun, it is not enough.

If this turns out to be the last Tekken, it's great to see the franchise go out on its shield.

Tekken 7 not only brings back all the great memories of this impeccable fighting series, but offers some new combat tricks, too.

In general, Tekken 7 has a much more technical structure than latest Injustice, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter games. The game's gameplay, graphics and performance are very pleasing. Story is very strong at some points and it's a great finale. But in terms of content, Mortal Kombat X and Injustice 2 are definitely better than this game. Especially the scenario mode of the game unfortunately has a duration of between one and two hours.
