    It's visually better, richer in content and more comprehensive in terms of gameplay compared to its predecessor. It will definitely make you spend time with it until the arrival of MK XI.

    Mortal Kombat X is ridiculous amount of fun, maintaining the core of what’s made the franchise successful while evolving enough to stay relevant.
  3. Mortal Kombat X is furthering the story that was presented in Mortal Kombat 9. New characters, graphics and combat system is changing everything you know about Mortal Kombat universe. It's one of the best fighting games we have seen so far.
  4. It’s still the same fun and crazy fighting that demands from the player exactly as much as he wants to give. You can gather your friends and simply mash buttons to enjoy bloody spectacle, or you can spend hours perfecting your techniques to compete with professional players. No matter how you choose to play it, MKX will find something to offer. [June 2015, p.64]

    MKX will last you for a long time. A few variations of the usual Arcade Mode, some dumb mini-games, online multiplayer, a lengthy story campaign, and, finally, Krypt… Not all changes to gameplay mechanics are obvious, but they do make the game more dynamic.

    Excellent fighting mechanics and an incongruously good story hampered by serious performance issues. [June 2015, p.56]

    Not a komplete katastrophe, but you should employ kaution when deciding if Mortal Kombat X is right for you on PC. It's a great game, but one that's krippled by bugs.

    In English:

    I was born in the early 80's and had my childhood and adolescence all over the 80's and 90's. I grew up seeing the rivalry between Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter.

    I've always been a much bigger fan of the Capcom series, and so it is today. However, it is undeniable that Capcom's latest decisions have distanced Street Fighter from many players. Unlike Mortal Kombat, which has gotten better with every game.

    In the past, the game I played most was Mortal Kombat Trilogy (I also love Mythologies Sub-Zero). However, since the time of PSOne, I haven't played a game from the franchise. And I decided to give MK X a chance. And it was an excellent decision.

    The game is excellent in all aspects. Beautiful graphics, great gameplay, very cool stages and the best story mode of fighting games so far.

    It has a lot to teach my favorite franchise, Street Fighter. Mandatory game for fighting games fans.
    ------------------------------
    In Brazilian Portuguese:

    Eu nasci no início dos anos 80 e tive minha infância e adolescencia toda nos anos 80 e 90. Cresci vendo a rivalidade entre Mortal Kombat e Street Fighter.

    Sempre fui muito mais fã da série da Capcom, e assim é ainda hoje. Porém, é inegável que as últimas decisões tomadas por Capcom distanciaram Street Fighter de muitos jogadores. Ao contrário de Mortal Kombat, que tem ficado melhor a cada jogo.

    No passado, o que mais joguei foi Mortal Kombat Trilogy (também amava Mythologies Sub-Zero). Porém, desde a época de PSOne, não jogava um jogo da franquia. E resolvi dar uma chance para MK X. E foi uma excelente decisão.

    O jogo está excelente em todos os aspectos. Gráficos lindos, ótima jogabilidade, cenários bem legais e o melhor modo história de um jogo de luta até agora.

    Tem muito a ensinar a minha franquia favorita, Street Fighter. Jogo obrigatório para fãs de jogos de luta.

    Flashy graphics and the Story mode are not enough to save this wreck, and that is without even looking at the awful launch. Day 1 DLC andFlashy graphics and the Story mode are not enough to save this wreck, and that is without even looking at the awful launch. Day 1 DLC and purchasable easy fatalities, incredibly cheesy AI (the ladder boss is even worse than Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat 2011, and that's saying something) and a lackluster roster (fewer playable characters than the previous game, and in spite of many fighters appearing in story mode they are not playable for some reason) all bring down what could have otherwise been a great game. As of right now, it is a better idea to play Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition and wait until MKX gets its own Komplete Edition. Expand

    The worst PC port of my life .. Darksouls 1 was much better than this (I know it requires relatively low-end of PC but still)
    I'm using i5
    The worst PC port of my life .. Darksouls 1 was much better than this (I know it requires relatively low-end of PC but still)
    I'm using i5 cpu and radeon hd 7850 / 16gb of RAM. It's not the highest, I know but these frame drops and fluctuation aren't due to the spec IMO. It suffers real bad optimization and options aren't working properly. Game's controller option is a total shi/tfest. You have to turn all the stuff they made to play OK with your pad/controller.

    I love the game itself, but I'm disappointed like a lone monkey because this isn't the first time they mess up. MK9 was like this at the time .. I don't give a thing about High-Voltage's history. This port was NRS's responsibility and they messed up.

    I can play OKish and am playing but .. I just can't recommend this game to who has low to middle end of PCs. Do not buy this now.

    Terrible Game, please don't buy it. 2 vs 2 fights removed, worst game to play on a Lan . Blocking simulator 2015. I don't even got any moreTerrible Game, please don't buy it. 2 vs 2 fights removed, worst game to play on a Lan . Blocking simulator 2015. I don't even got any more Words to type since it would be censored anyways... Imagine if your whole Family gets murdered, your pets die and your House burns out.. - this Game is even more worse than that.

    Edit : Hasn't got patched in months now. Crappy Engine and terrible graphics for an 2015 Game, WB doesn't seem to pay attention on the look of their Games.

    Dropped support of still pretty **** broken PC version... just why? Shame on you, Ed Boon!

I don't give a **** about your excuses for this **** you are the head of development team, the main guy so it's your personal fault as well. Fanboys can try to protect you by saying that it's a WB or HV fail, but I don't buy it. Expand
