Killer Instinct Reviews
Intriguing, intense and extreme, Killer7 is as relevant, playable, and valuable as it has ever been.
With its approachable yet deep fighting system, great tutorial mode, beautiful visuals, fantastic soundtrack and a solid amount of content, Killer Instinct is without a doubt, one of the best fighting games in recent years. It's a must have for all fighting game fans

I hope to see "KI" on the main stage during next year's EVO Championship Series. As a pure fighter, this game is that good. It's missing a lot of what fight fans are used to as genre standards, but I'm hopeful that some of these will be added in the future. "KI's" gameplay makes it the best fighting game in years, and one of the brightest titles in the Xbox One's launch lineup.
Killer Instinct Season 3 is a great content addition to the fighting title, the new characters and graphical improvements are a delight for fans. The bad, as always, the wait for the downloadable ones to be seasonal and the feeling of unfinished game that that leaves.

Killer Instinct is one of the most thrillingly addictive fighting games in years, harkening back to the mid-90s version you remember.
Killer Instinct has made a triumphant return to the fighting genre in its complete state.
Though the roster limits the possibilities a bit, Killer Instinct makes a triumphant return with smart, fluid fighting.
Killer Instinct is a good fighting title for the Xbox One. The addition of the seasons has given Microsoft reason to return to the series on one platform and not leave it as a traditional product that people could quickly abandon. Hopefully the product grows, for the sake of fighting games and its competitive scene.

Excellent mechanics and incredible playability make up for Killer Instinct's shortage of single-player content. Franchise fans and fighting game junkies will be most pleased.
Killer Instinct shows you the ropes quite well and has a combo system that's fun to execute, though slightly less fun to defend against.
Killer Instinct may seem little light with only six characters at launch, no lobbies for online play, and no Story mode until March, but the fighting mechanics are top notch. You can't argue with how easy the game is to pick up and play, and you'll have a ton of fun in the process. This is easily one of the best Xbox One launch title.
No one would have bet on Double Helix, yet they proved everyone wrong: not only does this return of Killer Instinct hold intact the spirit of the original, but it takes the franchise to a whole new level. It might lack some content and still be a WIP, yet this is one of the sweetest treats the nextgen has given us.

Killer Instinct is a budget-priced title that looks better than most next-generation projects we've seen so far. Once the rest of the add-ons are actually finished, this could even be one of the best titles in fighting games.
With a stellar training mode and open-ended combo system, "Killer Instinct" is a knockout next-gen fighter for fans old and new.
Fans of the Killer Instinct franchise need not worry, this is a great game to launch with the Xbox One. I wanted to give it a higher score but releasing the game with a limited roster and some minor technical issues held it back a bit. I'm also not fully "on-board" with their pricing model, but they do have two good packages to choose from that unlocks all the characters. Don't get me wrong; if you enjoy fighting games this is definitely something to check out.
Flashy, brutal and deeper than you'd expect. Killer Instinct is back baby.
Killer Instinct has the potential to be a top fighting game, but a lack of features and variety of characters hold it back from being something outstanding. Still, with the base game being free, there's no excuse for anyone not to at least try it out.
Killer Instinct returns as an Xbox One exclusive after a long hiatus. It's one of the most thrilling and enjoyable games at the start of this new console generation, despite feeling skimpy in some areas.
Killer Instinct knows how to be technical to the core for those who want to deepen certain mechanics, but at the same time not unattainable even by those who do not know what a "frame trap" is.

Killer Instinct is available in a variety of pay models, with the free version just getting you Jago playable in all modes, while $20 gets you the five other characters currently available and the season two characters. $40 gets you that, some costumes, items and the original KI game.
