An inch deep, a mile wide!

Lies lies lies and some more lies.

If Helllo games want to recover they should:
Crucify Sean, and give all owners the content the were promised for free. And if the content is amazing then maybe just maybe the studio might recover. Any title with Sean Murray name on it will be a disaster even if its Half life 3.

He might as well change a career path. Maybe go make some malware than would be more in tune with his character. Then again a loan shark on Wall street would fit him nice too !!

As a huge MK fan i give this an 7.5/10 read below for more details

Please do not hear the little kids whining and screaming out of their lungs this game does not run at all and that it is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ port trashing it and reviewing it on day one without playing it. Yes this PC version of this game does have bugs and and performance is lackluster but when it does run the game is awesome.
The gameplay is superior in every aspect compared to MK9 except the fact it lacks tag battle but then again very few people played tag so the dev decided to focus their ressources on features that would benefit the whole community. Nethereal is getting trashed for producing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ port but maybe you need to consider its Epic's fault and their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ optimised unreal engine 4. When MK9 came out unreal engine 3 was way older and optimised. No wonder we don't have a PS3 or XBOX 360 version yet. MK devs can't optimize draw call and tweak the engine even if they wanted.

MKX has many game modes online and offline that will keep you busy for a long time. Story was a bit shorter and not as good as MK9 but with each character having 3 variations you and up with a grand total of 72 variations!!! Add to that gameplay modifiers like luck in test your luck in MK9, you get living towers that implement and you get a unique gameplay experience everytime.
Online netcode has been improved since MK9 and an bunch of new online modes make their debut. The list goes on and on.
The game did have a messy release but i did get it running on day one before even patch got released. Seriously either people have gotten more stupid or more impatient in this age of instant gratification. It was not obvious but not witchcraft either. You had to dowload the packages individualy. I run this game smothly with a pretty old system here are my specs:
Asus Rampage Formula X48
Watercooled Intel core 2 Quad Q9650 3 Ghz @ 3.84 Ghz
8 GB DDR2 @ 1066 Mhz Cas 5-5-5-15
Nvidia GTX680
Intel SSD 530 series 240 GB
Windows 7 x64 SP1

The game with everything maxed out runs between 30-60 fps
To play in 3D vision you need to deactivate shadows since you get bad artifacts. In 3D vision with everything else full settings it runs 25-50 fps.
I am a programmer and really tech savy but I don't have agressively optimised my system for gaming since i use it for work too and have various process running in the background. I have overclocked my cpu quite a lot putting in the league of core i5 cpus but mu gpu is still bottlenecked.

If you like fighting games and MK franchise you are going to enjoy this. Sure you'll be frustrated when the game crashes or freezes but it an rare exception than the rule and i am confident this issues will be ironed out.

Really original game, with a lot of depth. Gui even though simple provides a lot of information. Game mechanics are pretty untuitive. Would be nice if you had some more visual feedback your plague is causing. This game is strategy oriented rather than action. Game is not complete yet so i would refrain giving a more thorough review. I can tell you the first time i launched the game, did so just to try it a bit before going for sleep and i ended spending the whole night on it.
