I really gravitated to this game and enjoyed it more than most fighting games. The character designs were faithful to the originals and in most cases were massive improvements, with a few cases of butterface going on with the female characters for some reason. The fighting was snappy and easy to learn and the presentation, especially after the big update, was really well done.
It's essentially the kind of package I look for in a fighting game. Great online, solid system mechanics, and a diverse cast that is fun to play. The fact that I am putting time into multiple characters to experiment with is a testament to how interesting their tools are and allow to approach Killer Instinct's systems in unique ways.
The art and design? Peak.
The music? Peak.
The netcode? Peak.
The roster? Peak.
The story?... Well let's just say it has never been the selling point.
But being a microsoft game does come with some annoying details that cut this amazing game short of 5 stars. Am I nit picking? absolutely yes, but I expect perfection from a Killer Instinct game.
I've played both the Xbox and the PC version, currently on the latter one and everything holds true.

Nossa, esse jogo é histórico! Com certeza um dos melhores jogos de luta que já joguei. Esse jogo, apesar de ser meio desconhecido possui um carisma próprio e mágico, tudo nele é único, você sente que nenhum outro jogo consegue fazer igual. Os personagens, o estilo, as músicas, as fases, tudo! Ele conseguiu me marcar e marcar meu pai, que sempre amamos jogar e nos divertir com ele. De verdade, eu super recomendo!
