Title
Having missed the last couple of entries in the Mortal Kombat series (9 & Injustice) I was very excited about jumping back in with Mortal Kombat X. This game has just about everything I would want out of a good fighting game! First off; the combat is very deep and tons of fun! I really like how they added move set variations to each fighter allowing for more fighters to adapt to my play style (which is up close and offensive of course ;p ). The fighting mechanics also allow for very strategic play what with the constant balance act between the energy and stamina bars, adding to this is the interesting use of interactive environments like hazards or wall jumping. The graphics in this game are fantastic, however as a result the X-Ray attacks/fatalities/brutalities are all freaking gross... But still, I won't lie about how clever some of them are ("HERE'S JOHNNY!!!"). I thought that they did a good job with the new fighters as well, with characters like the gunslinger Erron Black and the tag-team Ferra/Torr being the stand outs for me.

The story mode was a bit lazily written and all over the map. But the character dialogue and cut scene animations were top notch! Thing is, I'd get pretty salty whenever they'd introduce characters who aren't yet playable - but likely will be via DLC! >:( - The tower modes were also a nice way to kill time, and the Krypt layout was pretty fun to explore (like exploring the world of a horror game with jump scares taboot!). Sadly I wasn't a fan of the character DLC/easy fatality/20 dollar krypt unlock cash grabbing bull! It's a very shameless means of try'in to earn an extra buck, however this seems to be the way of games now a days :(. Overall I liked Mortal Kombat X, it doesn't re-invent the wheel but it's pretty darn polished compared to past titles.

*I'd originally wrote this review last year shortly after the game's launch, I will say that some of the DLC has been pretty dope, adding the friggin Predator and Texas Chainsaw Massacre guy was a pretty sweet move I ain't gonna front Mortal Kombat! ;D

    the story mode sucks ass but mechanically this feels like one of the best MK to play, the combo potential is insane

    Combos on this game are insanely addicting. Only USF4 and GG Xrd have better combo engines. Shame they'll never make another good MK again.
