Mortal Kombat X
Mortal Kombat X
Mortal Kombat X, développé par NetherRealm Studios et édité par WB Games, est sorti le 13 avril 2015 sur PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 4 et Xbox One. Ce dixième opus principal de la série de combat, qui fait suite à Mortal Kombat (2011) et se déroule environ vingt à vingt-cinq ans plus tard, combine une mise en scène cinématique et un gameplay renouvelé où chaque personnage dispose de plusieurs variations modifiant la stratégie et le style de combat. L'intrigue voit d'anciens protagonistes s'opposer à Shinnok et Mileena, tandis que de nouveaux venus comme Cassie Cage, Kotal Kahn et Takeda rejoignent la distribution. La presse a salué l'équilibre entre fidélité à la franchise et apports inédits, le New York Daily News évoquant même un sommet pour la série, bien que certains joueurs sur Metacritic estiment le titre en retrait face à la pureté de ses aînés et la sophistication de ses héritiers. L'OpenCritic affiche un score agrégé de 84, pour un temps de completionist estimé à 69 heures.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The combination of sticking to the core values of the Mortal Kombat franchise, while also adding just the right amount of new makes this latest entry more than worthwhile...It does a great job of not relying to much on nostalgia, and giving plenty of new while still remaining recognizable. »
« Mortal Kombat X is easily the pinnacle of Mortal Kombat, building on every improvement the series made in 2011, adding depth to the main fighter and delivering advancement to the modes that only NetherRealm could offer. »
« Easily the deepest in the series, in terms of both story and combat mechanics. »
« Mortal Kombat X is a mechanically clean and visually grisly release that comes highly recommended for all fans of the fighting genre. »
« 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. »

« Stuck between the purity of its predecessors and the sophistication of its heirs, Mortal Kombat X is a bit less than both. While Mortal Kombat X would not be called a looker these days, things have improved from Mortal Kombat 2011: The cutscenes are functional and now with 100 percent less compression artifacts. The story tries a little harder, too, even if it amounts to a basic “bad guy goes for a MacGuffin” artifact, but at least they introduce the kiddie generation here, and those guys are pure campy joy. I had quite a bit of fun with this campaign, but I would have enjoyed myself more if it hadn’t included these asinine quick-time events that needlessly interrupt the story flow, have almost no consequence whether you fail or succeed, and generally are just a pain in the neck. The gameplay is tight as ever, and this time the final boss, while still a challenge, doesn’t get all the cheat codes. MKX kicks your limbic system just as hard as its predecessor has, and there are so many new characters and old favourites that everyone is assured to find someone whose taste of senseless, comical violence they enjoy. The absurd amounts of gore and abuse actually detract from the game, and I will never understand why the detailed rendering of a bone breaking are assumed to be more engaging as the sight of, to pull an example from a sister franchise, Superman punching you into the sun, but the blinding speed and cleanly visible action just work. TLDR: Mortal Kombat X has improved enough to not be fashionably retro, but not enough to stand up to more modern titles, and so it sits uncomfortably on the fence. Only play this if you mean to be a completionist about the franchise, but if you do, it will entertain you fairly well. P.S.: Declaration of bias: I treat all all fighting games as single player games, going through the story and then unlocking each character ending in easy or normal difficulty mode. Yes, I am a button-mashing scrub, so don’t come here for opinions about fighting mechanics or multiplayer imbalances. »

« Игра становится лучше с каждой частью. Сюжет теперь на уровне дорого кино и его можно рекомендовать вообще всем, кто так или иначе любит или любил МК »
« En general los juegos que involucran cierta cantidad de sangre de por si pueden ser desagradables, pero los de Mortal Kombat son muy sangrientos e inapropiados (con cosas tan feas que ni siquiera voy a escribirlas), no sé cómo es que no está prohibido y eliminado en todo el mundo (nadie debería jugarlo, tiene cosas fuertes y brutales, en el mal sentido), que a nadie se le ocurra comprarle eso a sus hijos porque es muy mala influencia. »
« A good evolution of the series. It's faster and gorier than MK 9 and packed with content. Graphically, it is quite impressive and a huge step ahead of its predecessor. The game has a terrific mix of old and new fighters. It also has a darker look reminiscent of MK II. A good story mode, plenty of modes and free DLC make this a solid entry in the series. I would rate it with an 8.4 out of 10. »
« Muy buen juego de peleas para jugar en familia, amigos, etc. Personajes y combo buenísimos, buenos mapas, lo malo es que todos los mortal kombar necesitas dlc 0ara tener todo al 100% y eso si no tenes mucho presupuesto molesta bastante, no mucho pero se nota y es necesario si querés la experiencia al maximo »
« Je n’ai pas réussi à accrocher. L’ensemble ne m’a pas convaincu malgré mes efforts. »
