Mortal Kombat X
Mortal Kmbat X has finally released on PC,XBOX 360,XBOX ONE,PS3 and PS4.I hadn’t played any Mortal Kombat games since the PS2 era until I got my hands on a copy of Mortal Kombat X.In the interim, I’d played some other fighting games—Killer Instinct on the Xbox One; Persona 4 Arenaon PS3—but not many. My heyday for fighting games was way-back-when, in the days of Street Fighter II on the SNES (because that was okay with my parents) and Mortal Kombat in the arcades or at friends’ houses (because that was not.)I even recall going to the pretty awful Mortal Kombat movie back in high school or junior high, whenever that came out.But an expert in the series I am most decidedly not. Oh, I’m familiar with many of the classic characters. Sub-Zero, Scorpion, etc. And I’m suitably nostalgia-filled, and pleased, to see so many return to Mortal Kombat X, though many more remain missing (awaiting DLC?) and some are locked either behind the campaign or a paywall.So this is a review not of some die-hard fan who’s played every entry and can compare each one. I’m a filthy casual as far as this series is concerned.And I rather love Mortal Kombat X.
