A fantastic fighting game
"Mortal Kombat X" (Warner Bros., PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One) continues the tradition of excellent 2D fighting mechanics mixed with the series' signature gore. Calling back to its arcade roots, this game is best enjoyed with another player. "MKX" continues the strong storytelling of the previous entry, with action movie cutscenes often breaking up the onslaught of fights that it presents. While the last game retold the classic narrative, "MKX" presents an entirely new story. All told, this game is a fantastic successor in every sense. The mechanics may be similar to 2011's strong release, but with so many new modes and features permeating every part of the experience, it's a worthy upgrade. "Mortal Kombat X" is more than the continuation of NetherRealm's successful vision for the franchise; it's one of the best fighting games in years.
