A solid addition to the series. Gameplay is top notch, presentation is beautiful. Performance is ok if you meet the min/recommended specs other than when there's bears on screen (something about their fur drops frames).

Online multiplayer, outside of people with bad connections, is fantastic. Story is badly written. Narrator VA is the worst I've ever heard. That's not important though. Gameplay is everything and it delivers in this area. Sound design is satisfying especially for the special moves now. I'd recommend this game but it has draconian DRM (Denuvo) so I'll not recommend it yet. If it's removed later I'll update this to recommended.

If you're a long-time Tekken fan, you can't miss this. If you're casual and looking to enjoy a story... perhaps skip this because of the bad writing, crappy narrator and draconian DRM.

UPDATE OCT 2021: Denuvo removed. Can recommend but beware OP DLC characters on release designed to max profits while ruining balance.

" I'd recommend this game but it has draconian DRM (Denuvo) so I'll not recommend it yet."

He didn't even make it paste the second sentence in that paragraph

@OJE It's not based on the story. Thumbs down because of the DRM, which can compromise the user's ability to put the game on multiple off-the-grid machines... directly impacting competitive play(offline) and tournament viability(multiple machines).

Tekken is a competative game. Not sure why your review is heavily based on the story mode...
