    Killer Instinct season 1 was a very strong start for the game as it offered 8 playable characters, a decent arcade mode and some very fun customisation options.

Before the end of season 1, the original developers Double Helix promised more characters, ultimate combos and a better arcade mode which was very promising to hear. Unfortunately they were bought out by Amazon and now have new developers. Killer Instinct season 2 now developed by Iron Galaxy studios was seemingly hit and miss, We never got the Ultimate Combos which was a disappointment but stage ultras were introduced which are honestly not very impressive, they lack any weight to them and often come across as very goofy. The characters hold up well but the animations on some are ghastly (Maya). It tries new things which in some case's work very well and I like that. Music is fantastic and the graphics improved, net-code is solid...but I give little credit to the season because the net code and game-play were all just from Double Helix so Iron Galaxy gets little credit since the mechanics are not something they made.

    Overall not great as it was very lacklustre and nothing stood out, the game itself is fine but season 2 didn't created the mechanics and game itself so it gets less credit    … Expand

    With the new characters and modes, Killer Instinct reaffirms itself as one of the best fighting games in the market. The combat system is still great, and the netcode is probably the best around. Definitely a must for Xbox One owners who love the genre.

    Killer Instinct is one of the best fighting games available on new consoles. Unique and extremely fun, you shouldn't miss it if you have an Xbox One.
