    If you own a Xbox One or a Windows 10 PC, you need this game. Killer Instinct: Definitive Edition is fantastic, in almost every way.

    Good things come to those who wait. After three years filled with content and with the added Shadow Lords mode Killer Instinct evolved from an ugly duckling that hardly didn’t offer any content to a potential prospect for the beat-em-up throne.

    Beautiful, packed with content, easy to play yet hard to master, Killer Instinct Definitive Edition is without a shadow of a doubt an excellent 2D versus fighting game.

    With the adding of Shadow Lords, Killer Instinct become one of the most interesting fighting games of this generation. The Iron Galaxy title is a great and entertaining game; It offers an amazing experience, for the quantity and for the high quality of its content.

But there's just one problem: in order to unlock fighters, you HAVE to pay for them. Sure, on their own they're relatively cheap. But all together, you're probably paying another $30 to get them. But it is because of everything else this game has to offer that I can forgive this. The gameplay is super fun, my jaw dropped the first time I pulled of an combo breaker. The art style is modernized version of the orginal games. (Speaking of which, if you get the definitive edition it comes with the orginal two killer instincts.) Not only that, but you can get the original costumes for all of the charcters, of course if you pay a nominal fee. Overall, this is probably one of my favorite games I've played. It got me into the fighter genre. and is, to me, the definitive modern fighting game. (Aside from mortal Kombat 11 and street fighter 6)… Expand

We have to keep begging and yet we are not heard. The game is sensational, don't get me wrong, but the negative note is for the company's neglect. There's no point in buying multiple companies if you're going to leave franchises rotting in the basement… Expand
