    There's an awesome game buried under a ton of pretty bad things.
    Most anoying thing for me is the fact thatyou have to use the basic WASD controls in menu and in the crypt even when you rebind the keys.
    A terrible conversion of a fantastic game. Shame, but still enjoyable.

    Simply put, I hate the game. As a fighter, it's distinctly bog standard, with the usual gore for the sake of gore that MK is famous for. As a game, it's a DLC milkfest that provides nothing to deserve any additional spend whatsoever. The story mode is a massive, massive step backwards for the series.

    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.

    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.

    The port came off rocky, though after a while the game was playable and ran well, but online could use improvements. Instead of fixing their game, WB decides to screw over PC players by not only keeping the MKXL edition on XBONE and PS4 only, but it also will not have Kombat Pack 2. This is **** PC shouldn't be an afterthought and left in the wind.

    Warner Brothers and NetherRealm have now pulled support for the PC version and officially stated that it will not be receiving both the Kombat Pack 2 DLC and the much anticipated update to the online netcode. The PC version is now dead in the water; if you want to play MKX do it on a console but do you really want to support WB after both this and the latest Batman game?

    The graphics are brilliant and the fighting combat gameplay is exceptional. This could have been the premier fighting game on the PC, but alas the broken multiplayer component puts it at a mediocre value. What good is good gameplay when you rarely get to play?

    I'm not good at fightings, but comparing this game and, say, Tekken 3, MK has much much worse controls. In Tekken 3 you could perform awesome combos, they were easy to learn and easy to perform. I almost broke my fingers but still cant make it out. Graphics are good, indeed, it is 2015 after all, but nothing special. To summarise: if you are bad at fightings as me this is a bad game to start with.

At the end of the day you will end up being bored to tears fighting against the same cookie-cutter combos online or you will end up being annoyed as much as it is possible fighting against your typical MK input reading AI.

Medium difficulty is definitely too easy, while hard difficulty reads your inputs even outside the actual gameplay (eg. if you practice input during the loading screen, the AI character will counter it immediately).

    The game mechanics are still beyond terrible, and the game does a really poor job explaining them (eg. grabs work in absolutely different way than the game informs you). The balance is absolutely off - people will play Scrubpion, Erron, Ermac and few other one overpowered combo characters (punch walk ftw), while some characters are just terribly, terribly weak (Ferra/Tor, Mileena and others).

    It's a fun game for a while and living towers can deliver few minutes of entertainment. It's a safe bet for 5 €. 50 € - just no.    … Expand

Though there is a reason I didn't give this a 10/10 cause it definately had that potential. The gameplay in this is amazing and I love it. But the story (spoiler alert), when did the great Quanchii, ruler of the netherrealm and master of the mystic arts become such a girl? He gets beaten in here so many times by almost anyone even a trainee speacial ops and wow not only him, the great evil non-forgiving necromancer Shinok himself is a girl too. Netherrealmers in this game are wearing skirts it's almost funny and where's 2 by 2 combat? It was the best feature of the previous right. Anyway, apart from that you're in for a treat.

    Simply put, the game itself is fun, graphics are mostly up to par.

    However it is so obvious that they did not put in the effort to optimize this on the pc

    I'm guessing like 5~6 more updates before the game runs "as it should" on the pc

    I´m a little disappointed of the new MKX (i´ve been a fan since MK1). Graphically(technically) it´s definitely an improvement over MK9 and there a handful of good fatalities BUT the arenas are few and quite boring, there is no visible damage on the fighters (liked it a lot in MK9).

    I actually finished the campaign (most of my games are unfinished). Very engaging and great combat. The only reason I gave it 9 instead of 10 was because of the many bugs and 15g patches that are a real pain. But this really is the best fighting game available so I think it deserves more praise than criticism. I'm happy with my purchase.

    As it would seem most of the launch bugs have been squashed, this is still a great fighting game. Mortal Kombat never felt as fluid and solid as it does this time around. The characters are fairly well balanced, other than the fact that everyone uses Scorpion online cause he' 'so kewl!' and there's alot to do here.

The Krypt is still one of the most original and intriguing ways to unlock everything, even if you can't get alot of the costumes in game through it and have to do alot of other stuff to get the specific ones you want. But for anyone still worried about the launch problems and the online issues, don't be. They seemed to have fixed them and things are running smoothly. It just boils down to whether or not you like the franchise or not at this point and I would definitely say this is the best MK game in a long time.… Expand

    Broken release, **** DLC crap, waaay worse story mode than MK9 and bad PC controls without game pad. Other than that this game is fun with very good graphics and solid combat. I really think that MK9 was way superior to this game, but this game is still decent (not great, bud not horrible).

    Netherealm Studios has completely messed up their series after such a great entry as Mortal Kombat 9. Not even mentioning how broken the PC version is, the story is horrible, the character line-up leaves much to be desired, the fatalities are toned down and the gameplay is a step back from MK9. I can't find it in myself to enjoy this game.

    There are many reasons to love and hate this game, especially this PC version.
    The good:
    -3 combat variations for each character -Interesting movie-like story mode -Improved Krypt is a game within the game -Great fatalities and brutalities -Love the kombos! The bad: -Story mode is very short (Took me 4 hours, even took it slow) +PC port has issues (to name a few) -Online play    There are many reasons to love and hate this game, especially this PC version.

    -Shuttering and other FPS issues that seem unfixable

    -Slow to patch game
    -Many others depending person to person and on your hardware
    -Pre order bonus character Goro and other day one DLC, Kombat Pack characters aren't available right away. More than likely much more in game purchases to come.

    I would recommend buying the game on console if you have the option, otherwise I think the game will be worth it in the long run for PC. I think I saw this game for $20 on g2a, I would have felt better purchasing this game at that price but unfortunately I paid full price for a game that wasn't yet ready for release on PC.    … Expand

    I must tell you that this will be the best fighting game you can find for a long time, until Ed Boon will initiate the next Mortal Kombat fighting game. The new characters are adopted perfectly both by the story and the gameplay. There are a whole lot of new finishers, DLC characters, purchasable and free costumes; hourly, daily, weekly and monthly events which make the game unbeatable. The only thing that's missing is the double-team-play which allowed 4 people to fight in pairs and 2-player klassic tower, however I am kind of happy about it because sometimes that is another reason to take out MK9 from its package for a change.
    I believe MKX is the fighting game not only for its loyal fans but also for every gamer who can appreciate its qualities. It definitely worths the price and the time you'll spend. Enjoy it.    … Expand

The game is currently missing Nightwolf, Noob, Sindel, Stryker, Sheeva, Rain, Smoke, Sektor, Cyrax, Kabal, Baraka, and other regulars.

    I am playing on a 5.1 home cinema system on TV and the surround sound quality is also high quality every audio comes from the right channel at the right time. The music is just as "good" as in the previous titles and thanks to the improved graphic the gore is even more brutal than before.

    I have played aroun 150 online matches and 90% of the time there were no lag I could feel and I could find matches within a minute, There are player created rooms for online also so if you that 1 min is too long for some you can find battle faster there and make friends so you can battle later easier, Thanks to the steam implementation I could Invite my friends easily to private games through the steam shift+tab interface,

    I had 1 crash during my 50hour gameplay but maybe that my PC and not the game because its an OCed AMD FX8350 with r9 280, The performance is a pleasant supprise. Fix 60fps at every stage on max settings except one called Particles its on 30% but I haven't realized the differecne between 100 and 30 anyway, So the performance is perfect for me,

    By the way I think its better to ignore the 0 scores because half of them were made becasue "launch time confusion" people had crashes because they had 3gb preload installed and that only allowed to use the menu until the launch unlock. The other half were made because unlucky users with old or wrong configured hardware,

    This game is 9/10 it will be 10/10 if they will improve the multiplayer matchmaking/ranking because even though you can find match easily I felt that ithe ranking system is not working properly yet so you maybe matched with player with a much better win loss ration than yours.    … Expand

    Please rate the game for its content. This distribution issue that lasted a couple of hours is not a deal breaker. Be fair with the developers, the game work perfectly now. This entitled gamer mentality is cancerous.

    TLDR: The game is a great new fighter. MKX has brought new life to the Mortal Kombat franchise. Yes PC steam launch went bad but it has quickly gotten past the opening night problems.

You can change at    TLDR: The game is a great new fighter. MKX has brought new life to the Mortal Kombat franchise. Yes PC steam launch went bad but it has quickly gotten past the opening night problems.

    Lets talk about the game.
    I talk about the opening night problems at the bottom of the Review.

    First thing you will do is pick a faction to "Fight" for as you play through the game. You can change at any time but any progress in the previous faction is erased. The faction wars allow you to gain new Fatalities and other benefits while sided with that faction. There are also random INVASIONS that will happen when one strong Faction will invade another. This gives you boss fights and Invasion towers that net you even more Faction XP. The winning faction after the week long war will get a prize as well.
    The story: The story really good for a fighter. It feels like they really put allot of effort into making it feel like a movie. The quick time events were interesting enough to want to replay them to see how the fight changes. The only problem I had was being thrown on as another character just as I started to get the hang of the previous one I was thrown into. All and all 8/10. Yes that is scaled for a fighter campaign.

    Fighters: There are 24 characters with 3 variations each. There is also a DLC character that you could get for free if you had Pre-ordered the game (GORO). Each character has 3 variations that changes the way you can optimally play the fighter. In a sense this gives this meager 24 fighter a multiplier of 3. Each character has a distinct feel and seems to play very differently than any of the other characters. The combos are fluid and you can get some really amazing juggles in with some practice. There are 6 new characters making their debut in Mortal Kombat as well.

    DLC: There is a Kombat Pack out now that allows you to pre-purchase 4 Character DLC. Jason, Tremor, Predator (Yes from the Movies), and Tanya.

    Offline: Single Player Towers, Training, Matches: The single player training is pretty good. It gives you various AI options and allows you to train like any other fighting game. You can allow the inputs to show up on the left side of the screen in order to tell where your combo is going wrong. They also have a nice recording feature where it will record your inputs and allow you to replay them later. I found this useful when trying out a new juggle combo.
    The Towers are back and with new options! There are the regular Tower where you climb up beating each foe with your chosen character until you reach and beat the big baddie. A little cinematic story shows up and gives each character a personal ending. There are also Weekly, daily, and hourly Towers that show up and have various changes to the gameplay. This makes each tower a different challenge and keeps things fresh. There are going to be towers that let you play as characters you don't own as well.
    The single player AI fights are pretty good. The Medium is manageable, Hard kicks it up a notch, and Very Hard makes you want to punch the screen. All according to plan.

    ONLINE: The online seems to vary from person to person right now. I personally have not had any problems with crashes when joining games or frame drops. Others have reported this however.

    Online Modes: There are many options for online play.
    There are Rooms that you can join and see your chances of winning against the other players. You can challenge anyone not yet in a game.
    There is Versus, that allows for Player V Player, Test your luck, or just regular Practice. Test your luck is a fun game mode that puts in random gameplay modifiers that can completely change the way you fight.
    Team Battles: Team battles are split up into Faction Match, Ranked Match, Player Match, and Private Matches. Faction Match allows you to team up with others of your Faction to Fight opposing Faction teams. Ranked is the normal W/L counting towards your 2 man Teams leader board ranking.
    King Of The Hill: In this mode you try and win as many matches in a row as possible while the loser of each match is switched out for the next player in line. There is also a Survivor version where your health at the end of the match carries over to the next and so on.
    Tower Battle Online. This is where you and a friend or online player compete for the highest score in randomly generated towers.
    There are leader boards and Online "Kombat" history.

    I admit that this game has had a rough start. Day one of the midnight release allowed us to download a 3 gig installer and then we waited another 14 hours until we were actually able to start the real download. This was supposedly a Steam problem. After downloading the game we had yet another problem. The online, story and a few other options were still not available. Only 1 statement from the company saying they knew there was a problem. 2 days later it seems that everything is working with the exception of some people losing connection during online matches    … Expand

    The port is bad, heavily unoptimized. Requires a ton of cpu and gpu resources for very mediocre graphics. It is also glitchy.

    And to top it all, they stopped supporting the game while they still support the console versions. Hey!! Hello! PC gamers' money stink?

    - Less characters and scenarios then MK (2011). WTF!?
    - They remove the 4 players mode. WHY?
    - So short the campaign mode.
    - Characters of campaign thay you defeat but you cant play with it.
    - A very strange coloring/saturation/contrast in the game. Like killer instinct at xbox one, that spoil the graphics!

    For that reasons I bealive that MKX is worse than the last one (MK 2011). The MK 2011 bring back the game. So I think MKX should only add new features and characters, not remove then.
    =======================================================================
    Português:
    Tenho este jogo na versão do ps4. Sou um grande fã da marca, achei o jogo bom, mas tem grandes defeitos. Separando os pontos que acredito serem relevantes:

    Positivos:
    - Os novos personagens tem profundidade, são ótimos.
    - Boa história.
    - As facções foram uma ideia legal.

    Negativos:
    - Tem poucos personagens e cenários. Menos que o antecessor. O que é um absurdo.
    - Não permite mais jogar com 4 pessoas! Não da pra acreditar que fizeram isso.
    - Campanha da história curta.
    - Personagens que aparecem pra lutar na história mas que não são jogáveis.
    - Gráficos com saturação de cor ou contraste fora do comum, que estragam os gráficos. Parece o killer instinct do xbox one.

    Por estas rações, acho que o MKX esta um pouco pior que o antecessor. Do meu ponto de vista, o jogo lançado em 2011 trouxe a franquia de volta aos bons tempos, e este agora deveria ter acrescido a ele em número, sem tirar nada que tinha de bom. Da forma que foi feito parece que foi um trabalho realizado sem capricho.    … Expand

    Mortal Kombat X is almost everything you can ask for a fighting game.
    the Combat is amazing,the fight is freaking brutal.and every character is unique and fun to play.
    Tons of cool skills you can use to hurt your opponent.
    the optimization is not good but enough for me,
    Love the story mode,its so cinematic and interesting.

    Mortal Kombat. A sweet indulgence of ripping people apart and smashing bones. When it comes to fighting games, I tend to have a distaste for them. The only fighting style games I tend to enjoy is the Mortal Kombat series. This game did not fail to give me that same joy.

    The story line to MKX was a huge improvement from other games in the genre. Mostly story in a fighting game are stale to nonexistent, which I understand its more about the fighting then the actually story for those hardcore fighter players out there. This story was amazing. Making me wanting to keep playing and not put the controller down. There where areas that could of been more explored, more background into the new characters being one area of interest.
    The gameplay was as you would normally have; combos, uppercuts, x-ray explosions of testicles. They made it more enjoyable for non fighter experts to slightly (for lack of a better word) dumb down the button sequence for the Fatality and a more clear line of what needs to be accomplished for a Brutality
    Outside of the story mode, mulitplayer, faction war and everything else going on there was they Krypt. Where you spend your bloody koins on unlocking skins, more fatalitys, and concept art. You did this through a maze of a hidden mini game with jump scares and a a need of finding certain items to unlock more areas. They did a incredible job on the krypt.
    At the time of writing this review, the game did seem to have a unfortunate glitch with the steam cloud and I lost all my game data. Losing 14 hours worth of progress. Everything lost, that whole krypt I just about had finished....gone...    … Expand

    I have to wait like 5 minutes to get an opponent, then i am FORCED to leave like 80% of all matches because the connections are SO BAD, slomow inoput delay like 1-3 seconds, so it IS unplaybale. IO know the term is so often overused, but here it is true, it IS unplaybale online. The matches are so stupidly idiotic because my opponent or me can't do anything that would make sense , instead we jump around like idiots in slomow and freezing screens for seconds and try to execute normal special moves which wont come off because of horrible input delays and lag. You can not even block on reaction or something, you HAVE to play a stupid game plan which abuses the fact that you can not block some normal stuff like low pokes and such **** So imagine such great matches, 2 idiots making low pokes 5 minutes long and throws. WHAT A GREAT ONLINE EXPERIENCE MAN!

    At least the offline single player is good. Story mode was made good but its more of a movie than a GAME (boring). So after some hours you will get bored because there is nothing left because online just doesnt work AT ALL.

    Thats the third game of NetherRealm Studios if i remember correctly which has HORRIBLE netcode... be sure i will not buy any game of them again, was my second (MK9) and for sure i will not be fooled again b those ****.    … Expand

    Las contras son: Quitaron el modo 2 contra 2, peores opciones para modo 1J (agregaron varias torres aburridas e innecesesarias y eliminaron la torre de los retos, quisieron poner lo de la facción de guerra pero no resultó y no fue nada llamativo), modo historia bastante mediocre y olvidable, nuevos personajes muy rebuscados y genéricos, ya establecieron como estándar esto de invitar a personajes de películas, algo que me parece innecesario en vez de meter peleadores de MK, mucho DLC antes de lanzarse y a precio muy elevado. Pero lo peor fue el lanzamiento de PC, dándole el trabajo del port a una empresa pequeña que se notaba no sabía lo que hacía. Es de los peores ports de lanzamiento en PC y eso no se puede olvidar por más que hoy no haya problemas con el mismo.
    El juego en general me parece inferior a MK9 / MKKE en cuanto a contenido y duración personal, en modo multijugador debería ser más estable y con menos lag, pero en lo que es jugabilidad (en mi opinión sumamente personal) lo veo mejor a MKKE.
    Otra cosa, en PC el juego está muerto.

    Warner Brothers and Nether Realm have pulled support for the PC version and stated it will not be receiving both the Kombat Pack 2 DLC and the update to the online net code. They abandoned PC players and showed us why we should never buy any of their products ever again.

    The port itself is not great either, which plays on the bad Netcode that all 3 versions have. Some levels have been poorly optimized and seem to perform poorly on a lot of different computer setups.The PS4 And XBO versions will be getting this patch making online play better lowering latency and stabilizing connections.

    The story is alright, but a disappointment compared to the Mortal Kombat 2011 reboot, which it had a lot to live up to.

    This seems pretty standard practice for WB to completely abandon a port for PC users. This will be the last WB game I purchase.    … Expand

    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.

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.
