Cons
Con Environments are very confined
The environments in game only differ sightly and are pretty limited in the scope that they can be explored. For a "sandbox" game the sandbox is pretty small.
Con In game currency purposely made more difficult to earn post release
Mortal Kombat X's difficulty for obtaining in game currency has been day one patched to be more difficult to receive in order to push players into spending more money on the game, despite just paying full price upon it's release. On top of this, most reviews for the game were done before the patch, which of course conveniently falsely represents the actual patched release version in the developers and publishers favor.
Con Steam does not properly install the full game
There is an issue when downloading and installing Mortal Kombat X on Steam where the game only installs partially and when launched never install the rest of the needed components, which are listed in the DLC section of the title. Users will have to manually go to the DLC section of the game in their Steam library install all the needed packs to get the game fully installed and working.
Con Same day release DLC
For $59.99 one would expect to get the full game, but of course in this day and age that is not the case. Those looking to have the actual full amount of release day content are looking at a $122.95 USD price tag.
Con Microtransactions to make the game easier
There are microtransactions in the game that allow for users to pay for easier to pull off fatalities. Essentially making the game now unbalanced for those that choose to pay to those that don't after already spending $59.99 on the title.
