Is it worth clearing the chapters in Tekken 8

In addition to some sweet rewards, the roaring campaign of Tekken 8 is worth experiencing. It’s filled with spectacle and powerful moments that will resonate with both longtime fans and newcomers. And while 15 chapters sound like an uphill battle, some of them are just a couple of minutes long while others are longer. You also unlock character episodes along the way, letting you learn more about the world and its fighters. It’s a great way to get better at the game before entering its multiplayer modes.
