Pros
Pro Great visual and audio design
The environments in The Order have a very steampunk, Victorian era feel. The graphics are dark and gritty, which serves the game perfectly well. Not only do they fit well, but they're also brilliantly done. They're very realistic; everything from the buildings and terrain, right down to a character's facial features are simply staggering.
The soundtrack is nearly as good. The music has a dark, creepy feeling to it which fits the game's occult-centric nature perfectly. More than that is the voice acting, which is beautifully done. The characters look and sound real, which has been exceedingly difficult to pull off.
When you tie the two different aspects together, it creates an environmental effect that's captivating and intoxicating, leaving you wanting more.

You've got to change up your tactics depending on what you're facing, and that variety really enhances the enjoyment you get out of the game.

Con Can be difficult to learn for beginners
There's quite a lot to learn in Tekken 7, including how to use throws, parries, sidesteps, and even counters. Unfortunately, Tekken 7 has no tutorials to help you to learn any of these important mechanics. All you can do is go to practice mode, open the move list, and practice each move.
Con Irrelevant storyline
Like most fighting games, Tekken 7 is very action-centered, so the plot sometimes feels like an afterthought. It's presented through an hour and a half worth of cutscenes, which wouldn't be that bad but the developers decided to hire the world's most monotone voice actor as the narrator. Sometimes it becomes so unbearable to listen to him, you'll just want to skip the cutscenes. After a few skips you'll start doing it automatically and forget the story even exists.
