Rather than throwing you in the deep end and forcing you to master each character’s move set to progress, Bandai Namco added a helpful little feature called Story Assist. Like Injustice 2, you’ll take control of different fighters throughout Tekken 7‘s story. I’d probably care a lot more about what’s going on if everything wasn’t happening at such a breakneck pace.
