    This mortal combat is still tons of fun. Realistic graphics, top-notch body and facial animations, extremely inventive violence and perfect sound effects. Ed Boon and Co. still make the best fighting games in town.

    The randomization of Krypt rewards and the odd issue with the game's always-online nature can occasionally chip away at your patience, but Mortal Kombat 11 absolutely hits where it matters.

    I am not a huge fan of bloody violence, but I am still attracted by MK11's beautiful art style, great graphics, interesting game systems, and tons of game modes, including a very detailed teaching mode. No doubt it is the best of the whole series.

    At its core, MK11 is a great fighting game – and free-to-play elements, while unfortunate, do not significantly diminish the experience. [Issue#238, p.52]

    All in all, Mortal Kombat 11 is a great package, and nicely fleshed out with a ton of content and modes for both the casual fighting game players like myself and the hardcore community who want to get stuck into the online battling. The heavy involvement of microtransactions can be an annoyance, for sure, but there's more than enough to get busy with to help beat the grind.

    There are a number of Beat ’em Ups on the market, but nothing compares to Mortal Kombat. If you like the exaggerated splatter effects like me, you will always feel this special tension in the fights, because the next head could roll or organs could fly around. I'm quite surprised by the story mode, I wouldn't have expected such a high level. The six hours or so entertained me wonderfully, also because the combat system is well-developed and fair. Tower and online modes can't quite reach the campaign's high bar. Nevertheless, Ed Boon and his team have once again succeeded in creating a great Beat ’em Up that will captivate me for a long time to come.

    A refreshing addition to the series, with beautiful graphics and excellent combat, yet plagued with microtransactions that force you to choose between grinding or paying, as well as lackluster RNG systems.

Nearly everything is totally random so it becomes very difficult to farm the skin, fatality, intro etc that you want, plus the game is full to the brim with junk items like concept art and icons. You will spend a considerable amount of time running Towers using your AI fighter (so not even playing yourself) to farm currency which you'll spend in the Krypt, it takes an insane amount time to get everything and most people will quit long before then.

    As for the good, well it's a solid fighting game with great visuals, animations and audio. The core game is great, it just feels like the devs don't want you spending your time actually playing it. Online PvP has virtually no rewards, so it can feel like a waste of time doing it, even if you enjoy it and the Towers are farmed far more efficiently using AI, most of my time spent with the game is AFK doing something else while my Noob Saibot AI grinds currency for me, and that's what most people do too.

    The story mode was actually really good as far as fighting games go, probably the best actually and it'll take you a solid 6-8 hours to complete. The game doesn't suffer for a lack of content, I just feel like rewards aren't balanced around all playstyles, if you're the type of guy who only wants to play online then you're out of luck if you ever want to unlock the coolest items.

Loot boxes and mtx the cancer of gaming is my biggest disappointment, my fav char Mileena is missing and no to mention the blatant SJW propaganda and forcing the political views too much. The game is a disaster. 0/10 Expand
