SeekerTekken 7
Tekken 7 truly is a hallmark, a fighting game crafted with obvious affection. It strikes a fine balance between accessibility to series newcomers and retaining much of its technical traditions. The soundtrack is an electronic treat, and while the story can at times seem a bit cliche, the fact that it never takes itself too seriously lets it bring in a tremendous amount of flexible character customization. Its dedication to the details helps push it into the position of my favorite fighting game of 2017 so far.

Fighting games will always struggle to please their audience. For everything you need to include to ensure the hardcore remain entertained through the game’s lifespan, others simply want to hit buttons, see flashy images and be amused with only single-player content. It’s a tough balancing act, ensuring that the game is technical enough to allow for dedicated players to express themselves through the game’s systems, but also allow for instantaneous single-player fun.
