Tekken 8 is the gold standard for modern fighting games. It manages to be incredibly deep for pros while remaining accessible for kids who just want to mash buttons and see sparks fly. It’s a loud, proud, and technically brilliant brawler that avoids the 'edgelord' violence of its competitors.
For parents, the big win here is the lack of gore. You get all the excitement of a high-stakes fight without the 'finishing moves' that make you want to turn the screen off. It’s essentially a very pretty, very complex version of Rock-Paper-Scissors played at 60 frames per second.
