Edit: I really had a high hope. Game looked great and was much better than Tekken 7. However, every new patch the developers seems more out of the touch with their community. First patch introduced microtransactions that HAS NOT BEEN in the base game, probably just for good marketing. Then they was not able to balance the game's aggressive systems that plagued some of the characters. Now, after Patch 2.0, it became a disaster. They pumped up the aggression even more and it no longer feels like Tekken at all. If you like to just mash random buttons - the game is definitely for you. However, if you want to play with a brain, now it became impossible. It's just a coinflip if you'll be able to counter yours opponent aggressive moves by either ducking or blocking. If you lose your coinflip, well... you'll be watching him punching you in the air for 15 seconds without any possible interaction.

I was not a big fan of Tekken 7. I could clearly see that Tag 2's engine was built just to enjoy the fighting and after changing it to Unreal I was worried. Gameplay seemed clunky compared to previous games... BUT MAN after playing Tekken 8 I change my mind - Tekken 8 on Unreal 5 is the best Tekken game so far and the gameplay never was so fluid. Story finally makes sense (unlike in Tekken 7) and whole scenario campain is a great experience that just feels like you was in some kind of anime.

Great game 12/10
