Killer Instinct on PC is nearly the same game as its Xbox One counterpart. Killer Instinct's an incredibly fun fighter, but its money-sucking season-based release schedule may prevent it from becoming a PC game with mass appeal. Killer Instinct has a combo-friendly engine that caters to both noobs and pros, incredibly detailed graphics that boast ridiculous particle effects, and an over-the-top announcer who screams your accomplishments at the top of his lungs.

And you can even start playing it for free. Thankfully, Iron Galaxy-the development team that picked up the Killer Instinct reigns after Double Helix, the original developer, was purchased by Amazon-has delivered a remarkably fun title that's more than worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as its well-received competition.

With its arrival, Microsoft's combo-heavy, one-on-one game of fisticuffs joined the likes of Blazblue, Guilty Gear, The King of Fighters, and Street Fighter and other high-profile series that now grace the personal computer.

When Killer Instinct debuted for Windows 10 in March 2016, it represented the latest chapter in the continued PC fighting game renaissance.
