Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
For me, Tekken 8 offers what I want: fast, explosive, and exciting gameplay backed up by gorgeous visuals and a mostly killer soundtrack (which is a huge improvement over Tekken 7, by the way, with most of the ear-grating wubwub being snuffed out).
