DO NOT BUY TEKKEN 8 - VERY disappointing
Space play/pause · J/L seek 10s · [ ] previous/next
Summary
Tekken 8’s demo feels bland beside Mortal Kombat 1 and Street Fighter 6, lacking distinctive presentation and customization features. On ultra-hard, he defeated the computer with basic button-mashing, making it boring and undermining interest in the emphasized story mode. Unskippable 10–15-second intros, special attacks, and destructible-level transitions frustrate him; he will wait for release evidence before buying.
Insight
Initial enthusiasm shifts to purchase hesitation as shallow challenge and intrusive presentation outweigh genre familiarity.
