“Tekken 8 is a masterpiece of a video game, fighting game, or otherwise. It isn't even a question of being a fighting game purist, as this is a title that needs to be part of any gamer's library, irrespective of skill…”
“Man Tekken 8 is just something else entirely. I have been playing this series since the early days on Playstation 1 but this new entry feels like the developers finally just said let’s go absolutely nuts and see what…”
“People have spent 10+ years mastering Tekken/Fighting Games. I mastered it in 200 Hours... Idk what the reviews be on about, but as a God of Destruction (Highest Rank) player, Better defense still wins. It's just harder…”

“3.00.02 BEST patch, the game is healing. Good job devs, keep going. We must have more of changes like that, its essential for survival of the game. We believe in you!!!”
“Reinstalling 'cuz this patch gives me hope! Tekken 8 has such great potential, hopefully the game can now move in a healthier direction starting from this patch!”
“The game needs one patch half this good to become the best one in the franchise for me. Don't mind me not playing recently, grinding Kuni in t7 to fully lock in when she releases. Tekken 8 for the first time in a while…”

“I thought there's nothing worse than season 2, then season 3 dropped, the more you play this game the more you realize defense is a joke, side step is a joke and this game is better be called tracking 8 because of what…”

“3.00.02 is a step in the right direction! Make interactions and heat decisions count for more. I hope the devs continue to bring high reward characters down with targeted nerfs. Best fighting game I've ever played and I…”
“- gets worse when taken too seriously - lacking character and stage variety - pricey (main game, dlc) - online play issues - takes up a lot of storage space + fun casually + free demo + runs decent for me on low-medium…”

“Banger. Gorgeous girls, lots of MP and Solo play options and customization. I also like that you can switch to modern at the press of a button if needed. Get it on sale youll dig it.”
“Tekken is actually really fun when you play it offline with your friends, i dont really expect to much from this game. afterall, i play this game for fun so yeah”
“This game is fun if you only play with your friends, but playing against the characters whose gameplan involve stance 50/50's genuinely make me never want to play the game ever again”

“Developers are completely out of touch with the community and dont have a clue what makes a good fighting game. This is game turned into full on braindead offense fiesta.”
“Actually soulless game. I played tekken 7 before and was wondering about getting 8. Well, I got it and at first its pretty enjoyable. After you rank up however you understand why it gets all the hate it gets. Forced…”
“game is very linear, either u play offensive or u lose. worst balancing, developers taking way too long to fix the game. its better to skip this iteration and take your time before u buy next Tekken game. 0/10”

“I have no faith for this game, even if 3.00.02 has promising changes, I can't trust a team that dropped the mess that was season 3, after a whole year from season 2's disaster. Season 3 was advertised to be "back to…”

“Don't waste your time or money, play another fighting game. Game is genuinely not fun to play online. Just guessing 50/50 BS every match or getting rushed down with mid tracking +frames.”

“Not as good as older games. would be much better if the whole "Heat" mechanic was missing entirely. It does encourage you to actually attack a lot. The Pros might hate it but its pretty fun to play if you don'tget too…”

“I spend too much time guessing, unlike Tekken 7. Why do so many fighting game companies these days want to attract new players by making it easier to button mash? Why is increasing a new player's chances of beating a…”
“Alright, strap in. This is a long one and you’ll realize why it had to be this long by the end of this review. For the record, I played Tekken 3 onwards without taking it seriously. Just mashing buttons with friends,…”
“Awsome game , ive played other tekken games and this one its surely one of the top of the list ! Graphic wise unmatched compared to any other major fighting game , mechanics wise and gameplay its fluent and clean with…”

“The latest patch, released AFTER Season 3, is taking this game in the right direction. Please keep this up, I greatly miss having fun with this franchise”
— a player, Steam review · 343 hrs played“Huge W with most recent patch being all nerfs. Some characters still need to be brought down to earth (King, Lidia, etc…) But finally a serious step in the right direction. Keep up the good work”
— a player, Steam review · 780 hrs played“Being a good Tekken player always meant trying to outsmart your opponent. Scrubs almost never beats someone who put in the time and effort to learn the opponents move. Now: -You still lose your turn after blocking 3 different moves of the opponent -Perfect moves are in the game.…”
