Builds on Tekken 7's solid gameplay with a higher focus on offense and presentation. Quality of life features also make this the best entry in the series to learn about the numerous layers in the game, especially the replay system to check how you can improve. Tekken continues to be the best 3D fighter as of writing.

Best Tekken since 5 DR

Essentially Dark Souls 4. Breath of the Wild meets Dark Souls but with refinements of mechanics from both games and a lot of quality of life implemented. Open world executed very well. Minor qualms are too much checkpoints/graces (the bonfires in this game) and lack of support for beyond 60 frames without having to resort to deactivating anticheat. Great graphics, sound, music and gameplay which has come to be expected from nearly all From Software titles. When time is invested in understanding the lore, the story is stellar as well. There is room for further optimization as momentary stutters occur given how massive the outworld enabling viewing of distant locations from certain parts of the world.

Most addictive $2 I have spent

A unique experience that can be as short or as long as you want depending on your decisions. Very interesting gameplay that makes me question my morals. Sometimes feels like work but that is exatcly the developer's point. This is a double-edged sword as the design to make it feel like a chore takes away from the fun.

The very first roguelite I played and still my favorite turn-based today. Insanely addictive early on. Different ships offer varied enough runs. A must play.

My favorite card-based roguelite. The progression is steady, not giving you too much power when dying and unlocking more powerful cards that can spawn in next runs. Great game modes that allow you to customize and strategize card selection to make it a deck-builder. On my top 5 roguelites.

Solid gameplay offering you a lot of choices on how you want to execute each set piece. Unique aesthetic, great world-building and passable story.

9/10

Good fun for the first 40 hours. Needs more content.

Cats cook for you in this game.
