With Yu Suzuki's Virtua Fighter series currently in the midst of an indefinite hiatus, Tekken is now many people's fighting game franchise of choice when it comes to realism and accessibility. There's very little in the way of fireballs and other projectiles, with players instead encouraged to get in close and take down their opponents with well-timed combos and powerful heat attacks.

Tekken 8 Trophies & Achievements
There are 46 Achievements in Tekken 8, not including the platinum Trophy on PlayStation 5. Like in previous Tekken games, unlocking every Achievement is relatively straightforward and can be done in less than ten hours with the help of a good Tekken 8 Trophy guide. Better still, only five of the Achievements are tied to online play and all of the others can be unlocked on the Easy difficulty setting, making this a pretty simple platinum regardless of one's skill level. There aren't any missable Trophies either, so players can easily mop up anything that they're missing a little later on if needed.
