    mk 11 have great graphics even still unreal engine 3. animation and face quality amazing but as mk game stages variarty not strong. compared mk9 komplate edition with more old stages remakes again mk11 with mkx feels not fully mk. they feel more like ps2 mk games lacking of orginals souls . some mk movie skins and 90s dlc character on feels good but save the day.

    Die Cinematic-Cutscenes wurden hervorragend animiert. Es wurde viel Aufwand in die Mimik investiert, die Gesichtsausdrücke sind sehr glaubwürdig.
    Die Attacken sind sehr cool animiert und auch mit nicht ganz so schweren Tastenkombinationen kann man lässige Moves ausführen.
    Es hat noch ein paar weitere zusätzliche Mods zum spielen und die Zeit vertreiben.
    Doch seid gewarnt, das Spiel ist wirklich brutal - also nichts für schwache Nerven.

    This is the first Mortal Kombat I've played. I am positively surprised. In contrast to Tekken 7, you get into it much better. The attacks and combos can be called up in battle in the menu.
    I would not have thought that the story mode really has a good story. But it does :)
    The cinematic cutscenes were superbly animated. A lot of effort was put into facial expressions, and the facial expressions are very believable.
    The attacks are very cool animated and even with not so hard button combinations you can perform casual moves.
    It has a few more additional mods to play and pass the time.
    But be warned, the game is really brutal.    … Expand

    Joguei pelo gamepass, fora isso não jogaria devido ao preço abusivo.
    O jogo evoluiu muito em relação ao X, em termos de texturas, história e gameplay.
    Não comprei nenhum lutador, isso é ridiculo.

    Женские персонажи стали какими-то страшными а Джонни Кейдж вообще какой-то Стас Костюшкин. Мне нравится что вернули старых персонажей таких как: Барака, Шао кан, Синдел.
    Но зачем давать возможность переодевать своих героев если для получения предметов кастамизации нужно гриндить в крипте. Из X RAY сделали Fatal blow который можно юзать 1 но иногда даже 2 раза за раунд. Но прикольно что в    Женские персонажи стали какими-то страшными а Джонни Кейдж вообще какой-то Стас Костюшкин.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While Mortal Kombat 11 may not be the 'best' or the 'most iconic' installment of the franchise, it definitely doesn't deserve all the hate it gets. This was my first game in the Mortal Kombat 'universe', all my prior knowledge was that I knew the names of most of the characters, so I pretty much started this game with knowing next to nothing about the story. Speaking of the story:
    --- Story ---
    Shinnok's decapitation was surely one of the most memorable moments for me, it set the tone of the story very well. After that Cassie gets her promotion and Raiden comes to tell us that they have to ambush the Netherrealm, so they do exactly that. When they're in the Netherrealm, I saw the fight choreographies really shine, it looked so good, it felt satisfying to even watch. The amazing fight choreography can be said about the entirety of the game, great job NRS & WB! I like the concept of Kronika, being able to reverse time, but this ability of hers hasn't been used that much, although when it is used, it's used quite creatively. As I've stated in the beginning, I dindn't know much about the story and I thought that Scorpion and Sub-Zero were enemies so I was surprised to see that they're allies. When they went to shut down the Cyber Lin Kuei factory and I had to fight against Cyrax and later Sektor I thought that I'd be able to play with them, because if they made entire movesets for them, why not use them for actual fighters? But to my dismay I found out that no, neither of them are playable. Skipping ahead to the ending (because I want to talk about other things and the 5K character limit), I really liked the ending; All of Earthrealm's forces against the one and only Kronika, Liu Kang gets Raiden's power and becomes a Fire God, fights with Kronika, wins and finally he rules all eternity with Kitana by his side. I also own the Aftermath expansion and all I want to say about that is I like Fujin, he seems much more intelligent than anyone in the story. Also, when Shao Kahn just smashes Geras until his head is completely gone, why doesn't he recover? You cut off his arm, he recovers, you cut off his head, he recovers. Anyway, the story is more entertaining than watching 5 movies combined, it looks absolutely stellar, it can even be viewed in 4K, the fight choreography is again, amazing, most voice actors did an excellent job and the music is so good, it feels actually important whereas in movie I don't really notice the music but here, it's there, that' for sure.
    --- Gameplay ---
    There's 4: Local, Tournament, Online & AI Battle. I'll leave out Tournament and AI Battle because I haven't tried those because I don't know enough people who have the game to play Tournaments with and AI Battle just doesn't interest me and I'll include Towers of Time and Klassic Towers because in my opinion it belongs in the Fight tab just as much as it does in Konquer.
    - Local -
    it's the standard Player vs CPU mode or is you have a friend over and another controller/keyboard (let me make it clear here, this game for me is much better with a keyboard. It's more satisfying and faster to complete a kombo, and it responds better than a controller). It could've been improved by letting players choose any character - including DLC ones - when choosing which fighter the Computer will control althrough I understand why it's not like this way; someone'd probably find a way around it to play with DLC characters they haven't purchased. Works fine, not much else I can say about it.
    - Online -
    This is the standard online mode where you can fight with other human players, not much else to say about this either. In my experience, every single time I play online ranked I get utterly destroyed by everyone. They say that they match players with similar skill levels. Matching me, a Lvl 33 with a Lvl 78 player doesn't seem like fair especially when everyone whom I've matched up against was much higher-levelled than I was and they never let me hit them once not matter if I blocked or not. Of course players' skill isn't the game's fault but match me with someone who isn't a god at this game, not to someone who is.
    - Towers of Time & Klassic Towers -
    Klassic Towers is just 4 towers some of which have Kronika as the boss. In my opinion Kronika is overpowered even on medium and I feel like this statement is completely justified; she has unblockable moves, attacks too much sometimes, if you fail to block at the right time she can take a third or sometimes half of your full health with 1 long kombo you can't avoid by blocking. It's easy to forget that Klassic Towers even exists and its quite the opposite with Towers of Time. ToT has some various modes to play through, even character oriented towers which I like very much. You can go against one stronger foe with 2 other players or unlock special towers and more. I enjoy this mode because of the variety. It's "just" towers yes but the way they use the mechanic of towers is quite creative in my view.    … Expand

    Great game.
    It's the first fighting game i actually liked and got good at thanks to its PERFECT tutorial that goes in depth into advanced stuff like frame data and special cancels.
    The story is bad but the cutscenes are cool. Gameplay wise is a great game. Easy enough to get into but very hard to master with a great roster of characters with unique abilities and playstiles. The    Great game.

    The presentation is also great with cool levels, customizations and fatalities
    For the costumization part the game is quite bad though since you need to grind a lot of matches or just simply buy stuff with real money.
    It's a shame they couldn't make it a bit better (hence i've removed a couple of points).

    Also some characters in the aftermath DLC need a balance patch soon.    … Expand

    Mortal Kombat 11 es, sin duda, un excelente juego de lucha. La saga sigue con fuerza y Netherrealm demuestra una vez más su buen hacer con uno de los mejores juegos de lucha que he jugado.

Las mecánicas de lucha se han ajustado para ofrecer nuevas opciones, combos y herramientas. Complejo pero intuitivo, aunque quizás sea mi sesgo personal pero me ha parecido algo más lento de lo que era anteriormente MK, más cercano al ritmo de Injustice. Los modos de juego son potentes, y la historia es fantástica en el modo historia. La Cripta se ha reconstruido similar a la del IX, aunque el sistema actual de personalización de los personajes me parece un tanto farragoso, con px independientes para cada objeto, y personalmente prefiero el del Injustice 2. Finalmente, los fatalities me han parecido flojos y poco originales o divertidos, y creo que a la hora de luchar los personajes también han perdido un poquito de personalidad y tienen acciones algo más genéricas.

    Gráficamente el juego es simplemente impresionante, tanto en diseño como en ejecución, tanto en escenarios como en personajes. El sonido está al mismo altísimo nivel, de eso no hay duda. El juego, eso si, tiene algunos bugs graves que requieren algunos ajustes para poder jugar al juego, pero una vez solucionados yo no he encontrado muchos problemas salvo algún puntual y breve bajón de FPS en momentos de tránsito entre cinemáticas y juego.

    El resultado de todo ello es un juego que, sin llegar a ser perfecto del todo, desde luego se le queda muy muy cerca. Un 9.    … Expand

    Best mechanics in any nether realm gale backed up by beatiful visual style and large amounts of singleplayer content makes mk11 the best in the series. Although the story is awful and the roster leaves a lot to be desired, alongside lacking levels of customisation the mechanics are so good the game is still fantastic.

    This is a great Beat 'em up game.
    I can understand that people are annoyed by the micro transactions but giving the game a 0 or 1 because of that just makes no sense.

Theres also a training mode and some other modes.
    So I don't understand all the buzz about the microtransactions. You can buy stuff if you want to but you dont need to, to enjoy this game. This game doesn't force any microtransactions on you.
    Overall this is a great game with tons of things to do. I played MK 10 for a long time and really enjoyed it but this game is at least as good as MK 10 if not better.    … Expand

Most of the games unlockables appear to be designed around essentially grinding through Koins earned online or from Towers.

    The real question is, is this a major problem to the core of a fighting game? Well, I suppose if your concept of fighting games is playing dressup. If you bought the game to play a good fighter, with some of the best connection quality i've ever had, then welcome to a great experience. If you bought it to play dressup, then you will find yourself with a lot to do to unlock everything and will probably be a bit annoyed you can't unlock things specifically (Unlocks are essentially random like lootboxes).

    The fighting however is some of the best i've played and is a lot fun. In fact I haven't had as much fun playing a fighting game since DBFZ and before that... Blazblue. Most fighting games simply miss the mark in many ways for me. On that aspect I have to give this game a good score because at the end of the day I just wanted to log in, practice a character, and fight some people online. If you can't enjoy fighting, the core of this entire genre, because of dressup concepts, then honestly what the **** are you doing playing fighting games?    … Expand
