Heat offers a fun and effective new trick that rewards aggression while also providing a solid counter to an opponent's relentless assault. Combined with the returning Rage system, it's another way to help turn the tide of a one-sided battle without feeling like a protective crutch - pure skill still wins the day.
Tweaks aside, as far as the basic meat and potatoes go, if you want some good old-fashioned Tekken, this eighth entry delivers. The 32-character roster feels as great as it ever has, and new faces, such as the enigmatic Reina or the coffee-obsessed Azucena, are fun additions I'm enjoying mastering. Tekken 8 also scores a win in the looker category.
