Tekken 8 was meant to be a massive step forward for the franchise. The previous game was one of the longest lasting competitive fighting games out there. It seemed like the developers could simply take what they already have, and try to polish it further by building a new game from the ground up.

New engine, new experience, new chance to create the best Tekken there is. On release, it almost seemed like they nailed it, with praise pouring in from both fans and critics, and yet, at the moment, Tekken’s rating on Steam has been plummeting, with recent reviews sitting at a dreadful 50%.

What went wrong, how did we get here, and is the hate deserved? That’s what we want to discuss in this video.
