Tekken 8 - Collector's Edition (PC)

Alles in allem ist Tekken 8 ein mehr als würdiger Nachfolger und krönt sich unserer Meinung nach zum momentan besten Fighting Game der aktuellen Generation.

Das behutsam erweiterte Kampfsystem, die neuen Animationen, der große Umfang und viele gute Ideen machen das furiose Spektakel zu einem Hochgenuss.

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

As a complete package, Tekken 8 doesn’t reach the heights of recent rivals like Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1. But when the match begins, and you’re exploiting openings to unleash flashy combo strings and air juggles, it remains a thrilling, if very familiar, one-on-one experience.

Honestly, it’s hard not to readily recommend Tekken 8 to fighting game enthusiasts and curious newbies alike. So much of this title shines with the developer’s desire to provide players with the best experience possible that the game’s scant flaws are negligible. Those who have even a passing interest in the title owe it to themselves to give this fantastic entry a look.

Tekken 8 is a marked improvement over Tekken 7 and a perfectly executed balancing act, keeping older players happy while revealing its trademark freedom to newcomers.

Tekken 8 has started 2024 off with a bang, proving once again why this fighting series is great! It's maybe not quite as newcomer friendly as Street Fighter 6, but has a bevy of modes and new tweaks that means it's going in the right direction to be a game for all players, old and new, and will only get better over time.
