42) Tekken 7

The E3 trailer gives us a glimpse of the story to the game as well as what we can expect in terms of action.

Engage in brutal one on one battles in this fighting game from Bandai Namco.

Players can choose from over 30 characters, both new and old including, from the returning category, Bob, Devil Jin, and Steve Fox; and from the new column, Gigas (a large red cybernetic guy), Lucky Chloe (a cat girl who breakdances as a fight), and the beginner-friendly Katarina Alves, just to name a few.

Ideally, a match would have two players beating the tar out of each other and racking up combos and eventually, one beats the other. One new mechanic in 7 is the Rage Art, which allows players to activate a critical hit for about 30% damage, depending on the character. Another new one is the Power Crush, allowing players to attack through the enemies hits, but still take damage as normal.

Basically, it’s up there with Mortal Kombat X or Street Fighter 5 as far as fighting games go. Though whether or not you enjoy it as much as or more than the others is up to personal taste.
