Inside the two-hour refund window, 71 percent of the 864 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
best FG i've ever played. makes me wish i'd gotten into KoF a lot sooner, but much better late than never.
First and foremost, KOF 15 is a fighting game. There's no character creation career mode, belt scrolling beat em up mode, rpg mode, or survival mode. You choose your team then fight on thru the dream. To younger fighting game fans I realize why this will come off as bog standard. I admit even I would have liked a few more options. But as an old head I remember enjoying the genre when it didn't throw in side gimmicks...
Basura de juego puro perdedor nomas juega con Zoneo y fukins gorilas que hasta mi abuelito ciego y sin brazos los puede jugar. No jueguen Online porque esta lleno de puro kbrito campero
