Killer instinct review

I have been following killer instinct since the e3 reveal and it was one of those game because i had seen so many videos and coverage i felt i knew the game so well. Due to lack of money i had not been able to get a xbox one but this month i finally got a xbox one and the game.

Now first thing i will say see the game as a work in progress when i first saw the game till now it has changed a lot .But the price of season 1 and 2 together is the same as a normal xbox one game

The blank character selects are for characters coming out over the coming months. The ultra edition of the season come with ports of KI 1 and 2 and costumes but there optional and for the hardcore fans .

The original release was bare bones now there is a lot more meat on the game a story mode and a really good dojo training mode but i would love the story and the dojo mode to be expanded especially character specific training.I was a bit put off with the microtransactions where you can use real money to pay for KI gold to purchase unlockables but thankfully after a few min i realised you can unlock stuff just playing the game. I would really love more unlockables and more customization but it is a decent selection.

Graphics wise it is decent though i do find some character animations odd but it runs smooth and i love the particle effects

Character wise it is very diverse and looks like will have all characters from KI 1 which as far as i am concerned completes the game (not to fussed about the KI 2 characters though) . Gameplay wise it is classic killer instinct but brought upto date i will not go through the finer details but it deals with my complaints with a lot of modern fighters that it will always give you a way around things even if you are being hit by a massive combo you have a way out . Online play i have had a few matches only had a bit of lag but to be honest that is more due to my connection then the game 

I do not really have any major issues with the game and the game is being updated all the time so here is my wishlist on what i would love to see 

Hidden ender for each character perhaps can only be done after meeting certain criteria

Improvements to the ultra combo, Now while they do look decent i think they could look so much better perhaps some insane hit sparks like from KI 2 and a dynamic camera . This is minor but hit counter font.....to be honest it looks boring and i can just see where the hit counter starts boring but as the hits build up the font gets more and more crazy. And of course i would love to see more content. 

I would say a 8/10
