Tekken 8
Gaming’s longest-running blood feud tries again to iron things out with fists, ramping up the aggression while also lowering the barrier to entry
Flashy multi-hit combos have been core to Tekken’s fast-based beatdowns for over two decades now –but so have perfect positioning and knowing when not to go on the offensive. New players largely had to work that out on their own, so it’s a treat to see this eighth mainline entry go out of its way to explain both new and returning mechanics.
