Tekken 8 review: This brilliantly barmy game really packs a punch, writes PETER HOSKIN


Tekken 8 Review: It's been a while since Tekken 7. Nine years, in fact. Long enough for me to have forgotten how brilliantly barmy this series is, writes Peter Hoskin.

There’s a wonderful ‘arcade’ mode, straight out of SF6, in which you adopt a cartoonish persona and set about learning Tekken’s arcane control system. In other fighting games, the narrative feels like a secondary concern, a way of setting you up for the real business of online scraps against other people. Here, spread across both parts of Another Code: Recollection, is the tale of one teenager’s forgotten past, with a splash of Christie-esque murder mystery and a touch of the supernatural.
