    I know a lot of ppl are helpless zom bots for this franchise, but let's be honest. They made all the characters look american instead of asian (kenshi is a prime example), they still have not fixed the crash and destroy your hundreds of dollars System subzero glitch, you can skip fights for the lazy ones (just don't use it, fan boys will say.

True but it still makes the game feel cheap thus ruining it some.) Wb has completely ruined MK. The graphics are average at best and most character faces look like anus. Oh and as if we don't have enough political or agenda horseshat in EVERYTHING, they decide to use MK as a Lgbt pedastal.… Expand

    I don't understand why reviewers are giving such a high score for this game. As mentioned, reviewers are bias to certain games when it comes to review. To me its very lame arcade style of game. You just fight and fight, that's it. Lack of depth of the story telling and simple fighting style made this game somehow being rated as below average to me.

    Hear me out! I liked the DLC characters but the game doesn't win. The story is boring and stupid how it ended. The cage family ruined this game and just how annoying it is to do combos. Every time I try doing combos they never respond Its a pain to master the bad-ass Predator.

    The game is terrible.There is NO punishment to spamming so people can just do the same move over and over and over and over again. The online Matchmaking is terrible. You get put against people who are much better than you. It has Micro-transactions. The Story is atrocious. When your getting combed there is nothing you can do other than preform a combo breaker. which costs 2 Super Bars. iThe game is terrible.There is NO punishment to spamming so people can just do the same move over and over and over and over again.

The Supers in this game are X-rays that break your opponents bones. they also break the pace of a match. and every character get's 1 of them. so your gonna see the same animation over and over and over and you get the point. this game sucks… Expand

    This game is terrible.Most of the franchise is bare bones and boring and it doesn't have skill base matchmaking witch means you can join games filled with people who are way better than you and because there is no punishment for spamming the less skilled players who spam ruin the game which creates a mix of a bunch of bad players and E sport player wannabes.The story is quite boring andThis game is terrible.Most of the franchise is bare bones and boring and it doesn't have skill base matchmaking witch means you can join games filled with people who are way better than you and because there is no punishment for spamming the less skilled players who spam ruin the game which creates a mix of a bunch of bad players and E sport player wannabes.The story is quite boring and there is an option to skip fights which defeated the purpose of the campaign if you can miss most fights.I do nutlike this dying franchise and I would stay away from this game if your are looking for old games for your consoles.… Expand

    Slow clunky non-fluid motion ruined this game. Nobody wants to play games that are so slow that you can't fight your way out of a corner

    The game greets you with an incredibly invasive privacy policy, which you are forced to agree to, to play the game. Then, you are exposed to about 25 ads, that you have to press X to bypass. Finally, you can play the game; which sucks incredibly. Just mashing buttons is all this is. Total trash, wasn't even worth downloading even though it was free with Plus.

    characters are all the same and play the same. it's getting stale and maybe they should make a new franchise?

    This is still that good fighting game from last year, without any significant additions nor massive changes besides new characters and cosmetics. With improved netcode and all balance fixes NetherRealm has released so far, Mortal Kombat XL is nearly a flawless victory.

    Mortal Kombat XL is the total package for newcomers, with a lot of content and fighters included. The first day fans however pay a hefty price to get all the new content.
