    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

    A bad port even in 2022. I finished the story but the game glitched and stuttered again and again. I cannot imagine the state of it at release.
    Bought it again on sale for PS4.

    I hate and love this game at the same time. Absolutely unbalanced, but nevertheless I played it, participated in tournaments and got a kind of pleasure. But what NRS is doing with the fighting game genre is a spit in the soul of the fans.

    Jogo rápido e dinâmico, um bom jogo de luta mas me incomodei com a história rasa e sem graça e ela se leva muito a sério o que é um problema pra mim em MK, principalmente pelos acontecimentos sem sentido

    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.    … 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!

    Solid art directions and some good additions to the roster. Overall combat feels floaty and lack the dynamic impact of other fighters.

    This is still MK, but, gosh, I hate this new system with styles! I think this game is only good enough to run quickly the story mode and then jump to MK 11.

    Good:
    - Brutality returned and reworked.
    - Run, arena interactions. - Base animations are more fluid and consistent, with some laughable exceptions (google A.B.I.torial) - Overall slight improvements everywhere.

    - Overall slight improvements everywhere.

    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.
    I dont want Hanzo Hasashi I want Scorpion.
    I dont want Injustice I want MK.    … Expand

    The story mode isn't as good as in the previous game. Gameplay is still very solid and fun. It'd recommend that you get it during a sale.

    MKX hoy en día es un buen juego de peleas en PC, pero no hay que olvidar la "burla" que la desarrolladora hizo a los jugadores de PC en su lanzamiento.

    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.

    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]
