    This game is absolutely amazing. Don't bother reading the reviews for this game that are negative...the people who wrote them are just whiny children with no patience. yes, the game had a rough launch the first day and a half but it runs perfectly now. MKX is the best fighting game out there. The fighting is smooth and responsive and the graphics are great!

    The game is fine. There is no problem with it unless you have a crap ass computer. You have to let everything download for it to be 100%. Like every game. I'm not sure why it is getting bad reviews, but from the looks of it, it looks like it's from FPS drops and crashing. Like I said, none of that ever happens to me. Not sure what I did.

    I'm not disappointed in the DLC offerings, and I believe the delivery of Goro as a pre-order incentive was a fair execution.

    I gladly sacrifice having a massive roster in favor of the quality put into each character, making them both entertaining and graphically awesome. So much replayability will keep this oldschool fan playing for a good while.    … 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

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!

    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!

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

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.

    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

    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

    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.

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

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!

    The good ones:

    - Good history.
    - The faction wars.

    The bad ones:
    - 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

    Characters :The characters(including Variations) in this game represent: Jonny cage( old Sylvester Stallone); Sonya Blade & Cassie cage(Mother and Daughter from Brazzers who want to have fun);Kitana(the Arab belly dancer);Mileena(Gone Girl with teeth); D vorah( Chinese Butterfly Effect); Jacq Briggs(Ebony Destruction); Ferra & Torr( Devil May Cry with a kangaroo baby on shoulders);Characters :The characters(including Variations) in this game represent: Jonny cage( old Sylvester Stallone); Sonya Blade & Cassie cage(Mother and Daughter from Brazzers who want to have fun);Kitana(the Arab belly dancer);Mileena(Gone Girl with teeth); D vorah( Chinese Butterfly Effect); Jacq Briggs(Ebony Destruction); Ferra & Torr( Devil May Cry with a kangaroo baby on shoulders); Ermac(The Mummy Returns); Kotal Khan(Apocalypto); Goro( Four arm Assassin Creed with Blades); Erron Black (call of juarez gunslinger with Mask); Kenshi (47 Ronin); Reptile( Lizardman); Jax (the expendables 3: the dark version); takeda(the human centipede:weapon); Kung Jin(Korean Green Arrow);Quan chi (Pusssy version of Kratos); Kano( Pirate version of cyborg); Raiden( Taiwan Fisherman); Predator( Fantasy of every American that he should exist); Tanya( Tarzan;Rocco); Jason Voorhees(Scream; silent version)
    By the way Teen Army ( cassie,jac,tak,kung) in MKX is fccuking annoying with Next Generation (teens) dull faces.
    X Rays:In MKX bones break like plastic. They are 2 frame Xrays ie 1st frame bone normal(intact) and on impact 2nd frame bone breaks. It dilutes intensity of X Ray. Why not bones crush on instant impact like in MK9?
    For PC X-Rays are pure cinematic 30FPS and gameplay is 60FPS on lower resolution. The frame drop from 60-30fps for x-rays makes my eyes bleed and x-rays look slow motion. X rays are supposed to be internal damage due to special moves performed by characters. So there should be a physical contact! As far as piercing and aerial Xrays are not actual Xrays. ( corrupted shinnok; kenshi;Erron Black etc).
    Xrays are not part of gameplay this time and are on cinematic side. Lui Kang Xray performs 11 hits on opponent in which 2 hits break bones and I have to sit and watch the damn 11 hits again & again every match when he performs Xray. In MK9 Lui Kang X Ray was superb with just 2 hits(upper cut & kick) & it looked damn nice . If you compare Xrays of MK9 with MKX; MK9 Xrays are superior and well designed(feel fresh) compared to MKX which get boring very fast and I wish there should have been a button to skip Xray cinematic in MKX for Cassie cage because that xray is a brutal one and my nuts say to my brain don’t select cassie since you can feel your nuts getting crushed is worst nightmare for a boy.
    Fatalities:Fatalities are supposed to be humiliation of the opponent. MKX fatalities have become cliché like SAW movies you go on cutting people for no reason and yet the movie wants to be in a horror genre. This is not horror! Cutting people like vegetables. Similarly MKX fatalities now don’t reflect humiliation of opponent. It represents you just have to cut your opponent in number of small pieces like onion and in any way as possible. The camera angles for fatalities are disgusting show all brain & intestine. I get it you have to cut but it can be shown in less graphic and not letting camera almost touch slaughtered bodies and showing the winning character.
    Gameplay mechanics: The game looks fast in videos but the PC version feels weird. The characters feel heavy. The characters don’t respond to the commands and due to this it is difficult to achieve multiple combos at a time (+ 30% damage: Kitana’s kombos difficult to achieve). Sometimes moves appear slow (Kano jump in air appears slow while playing: 60fps).
    The characters jump automatically in stages due to props( jumps due to animal sitting in Outworld stage) at first I couldn’t understand why the fccuk my character is jumping and not punching . Then throw items that are on stage (throw a branch of tree) randomly character does this action ruins kombos and flow of fighting.
    The special moves of characters ( jaqcline, jax ,sonya(1 variation)) have missiles, rocket launcher, terminator flying machine, machine guns!! Seriously?? MKX now has to depend on rockets and bullets in the game. You can just spam all the through the round with these and win.
    Instead of ( X,A,Y,B) why the game doesn’t have alternate mapping for right stick? I know many gamers don’t play with right stick but kombos can be performed relatively easy using right Analog stick. Now just smash the buttons X,B then Y doesn’t get registered so kombo fails and again smash the buttons X,B…So we have to win the game performing only 2 or 3 moves during the round. The fighting lacks rhythm atleast on pc and not to forget FPS drops while playing.
    Now for the variation of characters the downside of this is some of the charcters have less kombos in one of their variation( e.g: X,X,Y,B is broken into X,X,Y AND Y-B etc.) my point is main kombo is broken into several parts in a variation. Now the downside of this feature is when you play classic tower or continous matches you are left with handful of kombos to perform during the tower which feels boring after 7th or 8th match.    … Expand

    I like:
    - Minor changes or details to chars. Like new Mileena's teeth, Kitana's awesome jumps animations like yeah she jumps with such grace, that only MK9 Sonya's jump kick can compete; Kano overall aestetic of old ugly survivalist, hell they even added fat to his back, to make him look like he got his strenght not from gym, but from actually killing people.
    - More character-based combos, that actually uses unique strengths of each.

    I dont like:
    - Game has problems with gamma and color pallets. It feels like it has a brown filter all over all textures and lighting in this game is one of the worst, making every scene look darkend, has unnatural shadows and all in all feels like a mess.
    - Arenas are mostly nighttime, has only one version of them and lack uniqueness. Exceptions are Jungles and Wharf.
    - Downgraded female bodies. They have bodies of 16 olds, no ass, no breasts, because having those for females is evil and toxic and patriarchy.
    People agreed MK9 once were a bit over the top. MKX is extreme overcompensation for this. Female either wear generic NPC soldier jackets(Jacqui/Sonya) or some generic top+trousers suit (Mileena/Tanya). And dont you dare show some skin.
    Design in 9 been critisized for lacking personality and "all the heroines are the same".
    Well, now they are so **** different.
    The only bright exceptions are Kitana and Dvorah’s alt.
    - Hard emphasis on Special Force who no one like. Now we have like 4 Stryker characters for tfs.
    - Hard emphasis on online, lack of single player content. (I really miss MK9 challenge tower)
    - No tag.
    - Soundtrack first time in 25 years is forgettable at best and adds to all-in-all bland feeling of being in airless and stuffy place.

    Bad:
    - Variation system. While being a valid idea, the implementation was heavily flawed. In half the cases, the variations represent different sides of the same character. But others exist in parallel to the character, which could easily be given to any other. Like Sonya's drone. The joke is that in MK11 drone now is given to Cassie. There are like 5 characters who has telekinetic or summoning spells like Cage, Ermac, Kenshi, Scorpion which make lines between heroes completely blured.
    - New heroes mostly uninspired, bland NPCs, both in looks and personality. “Kids” are just teenager movie mary sues. "But I like Jackie!1!" - look, I have an idea how ho check coolness. Ask yourself "Will this character be cool as a Guest Character in another game?" I can imagine Scorpion or even Kung Lao be guests in IJ or other fightings. But will enyone buy Kung Jin dlc pack?
    - Retconing new heroes into story.
    - Story mode.
    Is B movie, blockbuster filled with most boring cliche's like:
    Faceless NPC armies, existing only to get kicked by heroes.
    Supervillain that shows off at the beginning and disappear until the end.
    Characters kept to some unnatural roles and squads losing their identity, like Liu Kang and Syndel riding HELLHORSES.
    Just, just you know, its time to stop.
    Also chapter-based story makes all of enemy characters always lose, so how should we believe Quan Chi is a threat if he’s got beaten by everyone?

    Someone says MKX has "evolved from just mindless violence" plot. And I disagree.
    We love MK for brutality, blood, gore and sex-appeal.
    And not for family "things", generations issues and block-buster clichés. I got a dissonance when characters who is this teenager-movie H E R O E S talk to their parents in pre-fights and then bone-ripping part kicks in. Its lame.
    We love every piece of art for what it is, for its unique themes and features. Bringing MK plot to Hollywood B movie type and Humanization of characters of bone-ripping game is not evolution its losing identity in trying to appeal to wider audience. MKX attempt to make multi-dimensional characters ended up with making almost everyone boring, mediocre and uninspiring.
    Between having a 5 sentences long but hinting to something more bio and fully fleshed out but mediocre (at best) "personality" I choose first.

    I don’t want emo-kid Takeda to cry over my screen, I want Jax fighting after losing his hands.
    I don’t want out-of-nowhere FEELINGS between dude and Cassie’s forgettable girlfriend I want betrayals and mature regrets.

MKX seemed to be in the middle of the morality spectrum. It was a jack of all trades, if you will. The roster was good, but we felt there could've and should've been some more fitted in there, the story is good as well, but seemed to rely only on asinine misunderstanding, and the gameplay was great, but good luck going online and not being met with either a player who's spent collective weeks playing and mastering the game, or a player who is just as good as you, but just knows how to use a projectile. So yeah, online sucks, what else is new. Anyways, I feel the third party characters in this game feel like they have a justification for being there, unlike Thanos in MK9 who was just there because you decided that buying a Mortal Kombat game on a Playstation was a good idea. but I digress, Mortal Kombat left a sour taste in my mouth, but I've played worse. *coughmkvsdcuniversecough*… 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.

    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.

    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). And that stupid 30-60-30-60 FPS thing is annoying!
    So just another game rotting in my steam library...

    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.

    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? Buy the console version or skip it.

    The last MK game I played was was the 2011 game on PS3, and I thought it felt a little like a public domain game, a bit rough around the edges and for me the thrill was definitely gone, but then again the basic idea wasn't invigorated much.

    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).

    Overall, MKX is a poor title. 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

    -Shuttering and other FPS issues that seem unfixable
    -Players losing save files
    -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'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.

    Decent enough gameplay, graphics etc. but poor netcode and very disappoining lack of characters. The game is currently missing Nightwolf, Noob, Sindel, Stryker, Sheeva, Rain, Smoke, Sektor, Cyrax, Kabal, Baraka, and other regulars. No doubt they will be added later as paid DLC... on top of the £50+ for the base game and kombat pack addon, I already feel ripped off.

    It is a good Beat 'em up game. For sure. But man.. the online experience is the most HORRIBLE thing i have ever seen in my nearly 20 years of online gaming. It is even worse than the MK9. Im on PC tho... MAY be better on consoles but what i read and heard it is also horrible there.

    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

    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)

    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.
