Tekken 8 players are disappointed with the balance change after the latest update and destroyed the rating on Steam: from now on, the game's ratings are exclusively negative
The second season update of Tekken 8 has caused a wave of discontent among players and professional eSports players. Changes aimed at enhancing the attacking potential of the characters have led to criticism of the departure from the classic style of play.
Here's What We Know
Professional player JoKa said that after the update, the game "doesn't feel like Tekken anymore". He noted that the strengthening of characters and the addition of new combinations reduced the strategic part of the game, increasing the number of situations with 50/50 chances. In addition, the overall damage from combos has increased, while defensive options have remained unchanged.
On Steam, the game received more than 2,500 negative reviews in a short period of time, indicating massive community dissatisfaction. Of the latest reviews, only 16% are positive.
The developers from Bandai Namco have not yet provided official comments on the situation. Players hope that the changes will be reviewed and their comments taken into account in future updates.
