TEKKEN 8 Reviews

Heat is overtuned and rage art has always been a garbage mechanic. Unless you pick what's meta, the game is unbearable. "oh but just pick whatever you want, its still fun" No, the game is shit when playing online since you'll be facing people who mash and spam Kuma, Victor, Alisa and playing what you want isn't gonna work 70% of the time. There is no fundamentals needed anymore, you just spam and mash and you win 50% of the time. I should've refunded this trash.

Everyone is whining about heat and powercrush and other stuff, but if you can't play with and around these systems then I think that's a skill issue. People complain about bugs but I haven't encountered many. The only thing I can fault this game for is not allowing you to lab against the DLC characters without buying them. Crazy that I need to spend more money on top of $70 or lose against certain characters. Otherwise it's a solid game and a solid entry to the franchise.

50/50 the game. Nerf Jin, kill all King and Paul players. (its my favorite fighting game right now) Edit: this game is absolute dog piss. A person with no arms can play this game and get GOD. Why would they think its okay to have characters that can mash bs.

real money for character customisations ? hit the road

a very entertaining game, but very high execution. Recommended to those who put the hours into it to at least understand the basiscs

This game can be fun but now when you sit there and face mostly the same characters over and over again :(

I miss the time when you had to play more to progress in a game and earn rewards. Why don’t you care about player’s enjoyment? All that matters to you is making more money, but if players don’t enjoy the game, they won’t pay!

Feng Wei is the most badass character ever created. Its almost unbelievable that such a badass character even exists.

Don't listen to online negativity, game is in a good place balance wise prior to season 2. In a much better spot than Tekken 7 was for the last 3 years of its lifespan. I'm sure season 2 will improve it even further

While currently the overall reviews for this game are positive, most of the players that initially played and left their positive review are unfortunately gone. The game is simply not fun to play at the state it's in. The character balancing is almost non existent in my opinion. The characters that were strong at the launch of the game are still strong a year later. They have pushed out balance changes during the year nerfing some of those characters, but it wasn't enough. The 3D aspect of the 3D fighting game is more of a gimmick now than it ever has been. If you try to utilize the 3D aspect and sidestep, you can and most likely will at times get punished for trying seeing as a lot of moves track absurdly. The tracking should be heavily changed and nerfed, if you sidestep properly you should be rewarded, the opponent shouldn't just auto-realign to you during their strings. Some moves track right or left and you have to sidestep into the other direction. Some of those same moves track almost a full 180 (some track, but not that much), which leads to confusion as you will get hit when you're sidewalking and are almost behind the opponent. With a lot of moves tracking where they shouldn't, if you add in absurd hitboxes you get the current condition of Tekken 8. Phantom hitboxes are a thing and I think that's fine as long as it's not too much. But if you add in the fact that when you sidewalked and are beside your opponent while he's doing his move. If you try to attack him before he's done you can and will get hit first yourself. By attacking you extend your hurtbox and for whatever reason there's a big chance you get hit first. That's just stupid. Season 2 is around the corner, hopefully we will see some improvements.
