    big step in graphics from mk9! love the game with online ladders and factions to keep you playing. but I stopped a while ago from burnout playing almost everyday trying to reach top 100 on ladder leader boards which i would only achieve around twice. overall a good game!

    Update: The Series X continues to crash on the Reptile quicktime event in front of the ship despite several re-installs. I thought it would work somehow like it used to with other crashes after re-installs and re-starts but it doesnt. A game whose story doesnt work on the Series X is a big nono. This is why I update my review to 1 star.

    The game itself is great. Funny and entertaining campaign, good combat, great characters and lots of content. However, the game crashes on Xbox Series X during the widescreen quicktime events in the campaign. This is not acceptable. A look on WB game site blames the games installation, however, i reinstalled the game and the crashes still occur which result in a hard reboot of the console. This is not acceptable    … Expand

    Just like MK9, this game hooked me for so much time, more refined, balanced and faster gameplay compared to MK9, however didnt like the fact they took out Challenge Tower out of this game, but still a pretty good and solid game.

    Нечего сказать про мк 10, так как, это до сих пор просто хороший файтинг. Сюжет вообще не запоминается своей историей и сложностью противников, а в остальном от игры можно получить удовольствие, если конечно вы любитель файтингов.Нечего сказать про мк 10, так как, это до сих пор просто хороший файтинг.

    I just recently watched the new Mortal Kombat movie and rembered how much I liked Mortal Kombat 4 way back on the N64.

    I just recently watched the new Mortal Kombat movie and rembered how much I liked Mortal Kombat 4 way back on the N64. I found this game on sale for a bit cheaper than MK11, and I read that they kind of rebooted the series in MK9, so it seemed like a good place to start.

    The story is kind of Mortal Kombat: The New Generation. Beginning with a few flashbacks to the defeat of Shinnok, but mostly a mission undertaken by the kids/nephews of famous MK characters (Cassie Cage, Jacqui Briggs, etc.)

    Usually, the story made little sense and I found myself asking “who is this guy?” quite often. It's a very long road for a six hour story.

    Each chapter has a different playable character go through four fights, two rounds each. Like all fighting games-the majority of the fights could have been avoided by talking and boil down to a misunderstanding.

    I didn't really have any of the characters that I enjoyed more than the other. Everyone felt like they controlled about the same with some specific moves that were usually disappointing. It didn't help that I was playing on medium difficulty and getting the dickens kicked out of me for half the game.

    MK has always been pretty gross on purpose, for people that like that sort of thing. And this one is no exception. All of the cinematic special moves should kill someone three or four times over, but they get right back up afterwards.

    I'm also not a fan of trying to hit button combinations while being interrupted by the other fighter. That is right up there with having to be right on top of someone to hit anything other than the air. I was just smashing the buttons and spamming uppercuts to get through it. Not very fun!    … Expand

    Mortal Kombat X is a good evolution of the series. It's faster and gorier than MK 9 and packed with plenty of content. Visually, it is miles ahead of the PS4 port of Injustice.

    Mortal Kombat X (Xbox One): 18.12.18 Playthrough

    Thanks to Smash Brothers, I got really excited about Beat em Ups again and used my Gamepass subscription to download Mortal Kombat X. Had already played the Injustice series for the release and Injustice 2 was terrific. But now to the story mode and gameplay of Mortal Kombat X:

    Story:

    I liked it very much, the atmosphere and staging are just great at Netherrealm, which I found strong with Injustice 2. The many cut scenes and the presentation in general have meanwhile become a must have for me. Any graphics or the like are simply no longer enough and are strong points of criticism for me.

    What I didn't like that much was that I often had smaller and larger FPS lags in the quick time events and sometimes the sound dragged or jumped completely overboard. The quick-time events themselves (I'm not a fan of them) have integrated themselves quite well into the cutscenes and I also mean the X-Power bar at the beginning of a fight, the better you have finished.

    Gameplay:

    I'm not a veteran when it comes to beat em ups, but the controls were almost no problem for me and felt very good. Especially since I've played Injustice 2 for a long time before, all of this was of course hardly a problem, as it is logically similar. Fatalities and Brutalities or whatever they are called, as well as the X-Moves live up to their names and are very intense, typical for Mortal Kombat.

    But I found fatalities and especially brutalities sometimes quite difficult and had the feeling that the controls are not that clean.

    Conclusion:

    A great brawler, but personally I like Injustice 2 better. The comic book setting is just my thing.    … Expand

    I enjoyed the story.

    Some frustrating fights really taught me the use of blocking in a fighting game.

    The cut scene cgi hasn't aged very well and it's not really that old.

    one of the best fighting games with a short story mode but pretty good and that teaches you to fight with enough characters. the big problem of this game is the dlc of the characters that I do not quite look good to force you to pay to have them that's why I lower the note but as a fighting game is the best I've played

    MKX is a worthy successor to the fantastic MK9. It introduces new characters to care about (mostly...) and also presents an interesting story mode to boot. The gameplay is well refined, though still not as deep as some may prefer, and the introduction of the 3 variations per character is fantastic. X rays moves are still a brutal delight and online is seemingly improved as well.

    The only thing that keeps this addition to the franchise lower than MK9 in my opinion is that although the story mode is once again a good addition, it is the weakest in the netherealm collection of fighting games. The new characters and DLC additions are also questionable as some like Takeda are fantastic while others like Kung Jin feel uninspired. The DLC additions are getting a bit out of hand as well (why do we need Leatherface? Give me another MK character please).

    Overall, if you are a fighting game/MK fan such as myself, you will be hard pressed to find too much to dislike here. The overall package is well presented and packed with content, it's just a little slight in terms of story and character selection this time around...    … Expand

    La Krypta sigue estando bien, te podrás desbloquear muchas cosas en ella. Sistema de facciones donde tendremos que elegir una e ir consiguiendo puntos para ella. (completando misiones, invasiones, torres de guerra, etc..).
    El punto negativo principal que tiene son las politicas, tiene muchos DLCS, meterte en un juego de lucha, da igual el que sea, personajes que tengas que comprar con dinero real es una aberración. Y como segundo diría que se echan en falta personajes clásicos como Sindel, Kabal, Jade, Nightwolf o Baraka entre otros, señores de Mortal Kombat, si quitan los dlcs y ponen mas personajes tendrían el juego de MK perfecto.    … Expand

    A very large visual jump from MKIX to MKX.
    Story well told and fresh. The change of protagonists admitted that it is risky, but it was also a success. Personally I was already tired of Liu, Cage, Sonya and the rest. Putting the descendants is a breath of fresh air.

    The gameplay is very good, the movements feel very agile and fast.
    In general a very good game.

    In a world of 200 hour RPG epics, it’s nice to have something so focused on a core experience. There’s depth here for those seeking it, or you can just make visitors cringe by showing them all the bone-breakers and finishers. Look, Nanna, this guy gets his spine ripped out through his mouth.
