VGChartz’s Paul Broussard: “Ultimately, The King of Fighters XV is a solid fighting game, but how worthwhile it is will ultimately depend on what youre looking for. If you want something to play almost exclusively as a standard person vs. person fighter, particularly if youre focused on doing so online, then KoF XV is one of the better options available today. If youre more interested in a title with a variety of options and gameplay modes, then this isnt it.
KoF XV is very focused on providing hardcore fighting game fans with a great experience, and everything else tends to fall by the wayside. Which I can respect; theres certainly something to be said for a game that tries to do one thing very, very well. And while it will take some time to see the meta plays out and truly discern how well KoF XV actually accomplished that, the initial results are certainly encouraging.”
