A very good modern entry of the KOF series with an updated engine that makes XIV look even more of a joke. Graphics are crisp and colorful and have that passing-the-test-of-time feel and look that will keep benefiting this game. Gameplay and overall controls and fighting mechanics are very solid.

I can't speak for the online components such as netcode and matchmaking since I'm an old school fighting game gamer that prefers to play single player story and/or arcade modes. Story mode in this game is whack but serviceable. I really enjoyed the endings I got so far with pre-established teams.
