Streamed it for some friends expecting to laugh at it for being terrible, and that's exactly what happened. The story mode was just really bad and dumb.

The game feels like crap to play. I will admit i'm not really an MK player but i don't remember MKX or the old games feeling this... wrong.

Rage has to be one of the worst mechanics i've ever seen in a fighting game.
I don't know how it was in the competitive scene (if this game even had one in the first place) but for i could tell by playing the story mode it basically forces the other player to run away until the rage turns off because of the super armor and unblockable attacks, the only counterplay seems to be activating your own rage or running away. It's annoying and it sucks, it also builds up really easily even if we use combo breakers.

After originally finding Sign to be really boring because none of the characters clicked and the single player content sucked i skipped the Rev games on release.
I decided to give the Xrd games a second chance with the rollback announcement, now with more experience in fighters and in +R in patricular aaaaand...
I still hated it. Nobody felt good, not even Potemkin who i fucking love playing in +R. Most characters i just didn't like or felt a LOT better in +R making me lose motivation (Strive does the same to me), but i really wanted to get into it wich resulted in switching mains many times and eventually just dropping it.

And then like two weeks ago i woke up feeling the NEED to play Sol, i never even played Sol before in my life but i woke up really wanting to. I decide to try him in Rev2 and boom! I'm finally having fun in an Xrd game! It just took... years!

I still like +R a lot more but hey this is an extra game i can play now i guess

This game makes me sad. I didn't follow or support the kickstarter, but everyone knows it was a mess. People are right at being mad at the end result, i wish we got what was shown at first.

However after playing it a few years ago i really liked it and i hate that the IP had to end the way it did. I'll be honest i had more fun with this than i did with MM11 or anything i've played form Inti Creates in the last few years.

I'd say this game is like a "mid tier" MM game, it's not close to his best games but hangs around the most "ok" ones, maybe even slighlty above them.

I streamed this game for some friends to laugh at it because everyone said it was so terrible and we all ended up enjoying it and finding it kinda charming. One of them even bought it for himself.

The way this game handled the robot masters and tretated them as characters that help you after beating them by appering on the stages or giving you hints about the boss weakness was very cool. I hope MM copies that ability for the next game, i already like these guys more than like 95% of the robot masters.

And that's why this game makes me sad. It did a few thing very well, the characters have some charm to them in spite of the ugly graphics, the game itself is pretty fun to play, but now the IP is fucking cursed because of the kickstarter disaster and it's never getting another chance. Everyone lost.

It fucking sucks i can't believe i got so salty one session i ended up tryharding and learning in this piece of shit just to beat all my friends.

Now there's a pinned screenshot of my victory with the message "I'M THE FUCKING GARFIELD KART GOD SUCK MY LASAGNA!" on our discord. My greatest achievment in gaming.

Play it at least once, you'll hate the game and your friends but at least you will bond over your shared hatred of the CPU Garfield that's kicking everyones ass.
