Critic Reviews
- Tekken 8 is excellent where it needs to be. It looks, sounds, and feels like a true, authoritative sequel. In fact, if you're into competitive games, there's no reason to not own it, as it's packed with all the tools you would ever need for mastering the gameplay, without the need to use external sources or coaching. And even after playing over 1,000 games - nearly all of which were ranked matches - there's still so much more for me to take in, so much to do, and lots of fun to be had.
Daniel Parker · Feb 25, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - In case it hasn’t been made abundantly clear by now, Tekken 8 is a must-play for fans of the series, fans of the genre, or even for new players wondering what all the hype is about. It’s a standout entry in a phenomenal series, it respects the player’s time, and gives them a ton to do, and it’s a joy to play. Go get it.
Jeff Ortloff · Feb 19, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Tekken 8 feels like a great game that with a bit more tuning could have been the best fighting game out there. The last fight of the campaign feels unnecessarily long, the Arcade Quest mode could have been made into a better fit with the rest of the game and there are some other aspects that commenting upon almost feels like nitpicking. Tekken 8 remains one of the best fighting games available, but it does not have a secret move to beat Mortal Kombat 1 or Street Fighter 6. There is no clear winner, and it all comes down to personal taste and which universe do you prefer.
Cosmin Vasile · Feb 12, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Tekken 8 is not just a return to form, it's a Tekken masterpiece. Without question, this is the most fun I've had playing a Tekken game in a very long time. It's only a matter of time for people to call this one scrubby too, and I am here for it. Harada, hat tip to you. Beautiful and very fun game.
Joseph Moorer · Feb 10, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Tekken 8 doubles down on all of the right aspects and delivers the ultimate Tekken experience through an extremely polished combat system, a beautiful presentation, a surprisingly well-crafted story mode, a few novel mechanics, and a groundbreaking new game mode.
Franklin Bellone Borges · Feb 09, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Tekken 8 blew us away with its excellent, engaging features that are fine-tuned to fit every fighting game fan's preference. It also offers a battle system that new and veteran players can enjoy...as long as you can take the Heat.
Jack Zustiak · Feb 08, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Coming off of a remarkably strong year for the genre, Tekken 8 continues the trend of excellent fighters for this console generation. It's a visually dynamic and enjoyable to play title that will be a part of the scene for years to come. I just wish there were more options for single-player modes.
Eric Hall · Feb 08, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - If you’re new to the series, Tekken 8 is the fighting game you should play this year. If you’re still deciding between which fighting game to play this year, Tekken 8’s combat and mechanics are the most satisfying yet. I highly recommend Tekken 8 – it’s helped 2024 start off on the right foot.
Will Silberman · Feb 07, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - This is an outstanding return for the King of Iron Fist Tournament. While I have my critiques, they come from someone whose fondest early gaming memories are button-mashing through Tekken 3. I want character customization to be at its best because that’s been one of my favorite features since it was added. I want the stories to hit harder because, as crazy as they are, the characters deserve it.
Samuel Moreno · Feb 06, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Overall, Tekken 8 is an impressive product. There's a variety of content here to keep players satisfied. I would've liked more new characters but two of them at least offer something different. The story delivers plenty of bombast and manages to tie up some loose ends whilst Arcade Quest tries to romanticise the arcade community in an endearing way. Online play has been very smooth and the fighting overall has been fun and kinetic. It also think the teaching tools are great for getting newcomers onboard.
