    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'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.

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

I finished the story and it was a great way to try out new characters, experiment with combos and to have a quick overview of the many different combat aspects of the fighters. Whilst I haven´t tried out the multiplayer yet i can already say that the Krypt (which is basically an interactive shop) has unique artworks, fatalities/brutalities, new outfits and fanart to unlock and is very interesting for collectors.

    Overall this is a very fun game to play and the best way is to play it with some friends at a Gaming-/Drinking-Evening!

    This game had a lot of problems and less characters than the consoles versions but QLOC has fixed the game and now has all DLC. A bit too late but PC players can enjoy Mortal Kombat XL at last, and the game runs ok.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ed Boon... I love this guy's games more than I love life. Weird I know. 9/10. Fantastic job especially on the graphics department. 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. Graphics, character arcs, gameplay and one of the best feature ever seen, environment interactions! And an awesome ending feud between our stars. I loved it Eddy… Expand

    NetherRealm have found their true calling with Mortal Kombat X. The most definitive Mortal Kombat game yet, expansive roster, variation system, more elaborate fighting system thus far for the series. The PC version had a rocky beginning but the majority of issues have been rectified. Without a doubt MKX is the ultimate fighting game of this new generation!

    Really good game, very balanced characters and I was surprised how the new characters played out especially Takeda, Kung Jin, Cassie Cage, and Erron Black. There's a lag in the game though, but there's a way to avoid it. Other than that, great game.

    This game worked fine on my 2008 PC. What's with them PC and Xbox user scores. That's really mature of you Sony fans! Giving 1 to a game so it sucks if it's not on your system or if it's on another system. Really! Down with the low scores! Everyone should rate 10 stars all PC and XboxOne games so we can purge our gaming community of haters! Down with them haters!

    The game has next-gen graphics better than injustice. Interactions is a new and great feature added to the game. Characters are kinda great. The variations is a fun mechanic allow you to feel different battle after battle. The brutality and the fatality defies your victory and the combo system allow you to be a combo master and have fun learning it.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I admit that my review is without the online experience included. My review is about the offline game. That said I am dazzled by the new sheen that Mortal Kombat X has, it has reached a new height of aesthetic style and experience. The new story is wonderful, and old characters that I had always disliked are now welcomed the new style that Johnny Cage has is redeeming, for a long time I had hated this character. Also the new story is much more interesting than that in XIIII.
    The interactivity in the level designs are fabulous, throw bodies, flaming basins, barrels, at your enemies. Slam their heads into the concrete statue you two are next to, or use the world as a tool to get a new angle on your opponent.
    The only problem I have with this game thus far is that they removed coop ladder, which was always a favorite to play when I have a friend come over to play with me. I prefer to play cooperatively with my friends.    … Expand

    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

    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.
    MKX is a 8/10 ,much mucg better than the god damn Last round 5

    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

    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.

    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]
