The game is really fun. Addictively so. It's also the most feature-rich Tekken has ever been.

But in comes their monetization strategy. We're getting DLC characters? No problem, most fighters already do that, including Tekken 7. We're getting a premium currency shop for customization? That's kind off stretching it a little bit. But yeah, whatever. It doesn't really retract from the core gameplay experience.

However, hiding the shop until a month into the release to reap in all the positive reviews first? That's just straight up despicable. And it's clear that they intentionally limited the base customization features so they can sell these stuff. But as I said, whatever. I can ignore all these things because I'm not much of a dress-up guy.

But lo and behold, they started banning mods AND introduced a battle pass system. They clearly want to shove all these MTX BS down our throats. And frankly, I'm not a fan of that approach. This is not how a fully-priced AAA title should behave.

Not to mention it still has the worst online penalty system of all fighting games out there. It seems their online infrastructure is clearly flawed if they can't just simply give the win to a player if their opponent plugs. (And no, having manual ban waves reliant on in-game/Twitter reports is NOT a sustainable solution).

But I'm having fun. Game feels pretty imbalanced as of the moment but nothing thoroughly game-breaking. Online play is pretty smooth unless it's with wifi players, which at that point becomes a toss-up.

I'll continue playing because it's fun. I'd also continue to recommend it to my friends. With just some good balance changes and it's setting up to be the best Tekken game of all time. But the negative review is necessary because of all their questionable monetization decisions.

I'll keep supporting the game--not with my wallet, though.
