2. Tekken 7

Tekken is yet another in a long line of successful fighting game franchises in video game history. Since the first Tekken was released in arcades and for the PlayStation in 1994, the series has gone on to become a household name. With more than 30 years of dominance in the gaming scene, it’s no surprise that its loyal fans brought a lot of hype for the release of Tekken 7.

This Bandai Namco Entertainment production is the seventh installment in the main Tekken series. The plot is set after the events of the previous game, Tekken 6, with the war between the G Corporation and Mishima Zaibatsu continuing to take its toll on the world. Jin Kazama is missing, so Nina Williams leads the Zaibatsu in his absence. As a result, the United Nations intelligence group is tasked to locate Jin.

Tekken 7 features the classic one-on-one battles in a 3D arena. Each character has their own unique movements and attacks, but with the same basic controls. New features were also added like Rage Art, which is a unique move for each character that can be used during Rage mode. It shows a cinematic sequence that ends with a lot of damage.

Power Crush and Screw hits are also new attacking mechanics. Due to its popularity, the game was the top seller in its first two weeks of release and it has already sold more than seven million copies as of March 2021.

Ultimate is the latest installment in the series and follows the classic gameplay that fans have come to love. Even the earlier games in the series like Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee are still popular among fans and pros alike, a testament to how good this franchise is.
