Tekken 8 Review

A new aggressive fighting system and a healthy cast of characters make Tekken 8 pack a powerful punch.

Tekken 8’s greatest challenge is building on a fighting game experience that has been refined to close to perfection over the course of eight-plus years, without feeling like it retreading old ground or needlessly upending the foundation laid by its predecessor. Thankfully, it’s a challenge that developer Bandai Namco meets by introducing an improved fighting system focused on aggression, an impressive roster of 32 fighters, and one of the most rock-solid online experiences I’ve ever seen in a fighting game.
