Mortal Kombat X Review Summary

MightyCritic Consensus

Great Roster

High-Quality Story Mode

Fantastic Core Gameplay

Absurd. Brutal. Superb. Balanced. Controversial. Mortal Kombat X may not be as earth-shattering as some of its predecessors and its monetization may leave a bad taste, but it is still a solid fighting game that delivers on the premise of over-the-top gory action

That's Mortal Kombat in a nutshell: looking cool, even if there's not that much going on behind the curtain. Mortal Kombat X has some new tricks on offer, but the fun of the game is in its blood-splattering finishers and cocky jokes.

The best new Mortal Kombat for years, with a fighting game experience that's as generous with the content as it is with the gore.

Mortal Kombat X has tons of polish, unique mechanics, and the genre's best story mode, but it doesn't do enough to keep players invested if they weren't already planning on it.

Brutally satisfying and enjoyable in its absurdity, Mortal Kombat X carries the franchise's flag high

Mortal Kombat X successfully continues the tradition of mixing a fighting game with gore-laced slapstick.
