Our analysis
An easy recommendation and an ambitious, mostly successful update to the series, with snappy, hard-hitting combat and a new Heat mechanic that rewards aggressive, skill-based play. It is packed with offline content — a strong cinematic story mode, Arcade Quest, ghost battles, and excellent tutorials and practice tools that make it the most approachable entry yet. The big caveat at launch is broken online play, with crashes on PS5 and PC, so anyone primarily interested in online should wait.

The story mode starts off feeling cringe with the space/powers plot, but redeems itself in the final chapter with strong Mishima storyline payoff and character closure. However, the overall campaign is too short and compressed, leaving many character arcs underdeveloped.
