    These guys completed the storyline and restarted it, just like in Futurama! Good lord! This is simply brilliant! The mechanics of the fights were as gorgeous as they were. Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting only slow unlocking of skins. In general, the game is a masterpiece!

    I would give it a 10 if it wasn't for the terrible optimization and desync problems that the game has right now, in terms of gameplay and mechanics is awesome and it has a lot of gamemodes, but this problems are driving me mad sometimes, yesterday for example i couldn't play online...

    Okay, slightly more fair review time. A lot of the outrage involving this game seems to be from parrots who haven't actually played the game. Pay 2 win? Mmm, no. In fact the microtransactions are literally just for costumes and are so sparse it would be near impossible to ever pay for them all. A bit **** Yes.

A lot of the outrage involving this game seems to be from parrots who haven't actually played the game. Pay 2 win? Mmm, no. In fact the microtransactions are literally just for costumes and are so sparse it would be near impossible to ever pay for them all. A bit **** Yes. 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

    i feel many reviews give it an unfair amount of **** for some bad choices the developers made, i mainly want to adress these:

    * microtransactions and random rewards kills the incentive for completionists to unlock everything. something that added appeal toMK9/X. i am not a fan of microtransactions in any game. if the developer aims to make some extra i would be more than happy to pay for (good) DLC packs, but microtransactions... just...no. But that being said, nothing is forcing you to pay for anything. many content is unlocked by playing/grinding. my first impression is not that you get too little content for 60,-. ive seen much worse systems in semi-recent games.

    political correctness: female costumes are much more political correct in mk11. think what you want about that. i played all Mk's and don't think female costumes were ever a real thing in MK. Dead or alive and Soul Calibur both do that a lot better. I dont need a sexy Cassie... All i wanna see naked is her spinal cord... and thats totally possible.

    Character Roster: I agree that it isnt the best one in the series. but thats totally personal. i would have liked mileena and Goro. loved them in X. no biggie... ill fall in love with someone else. there is always DLC, and i got the feeling there will be lots of that.

    These points are what iread most about in negative reviews, and none of the would fairly result in a 0 or 1 score. If you loved MK9 or X, youll love this. just be aware of the negatives. it is totally fair to boycot a game for having monetizing schemes that you dont agree with, but these 0/1 reviews aren't reviews... they are protest-votes.    … Expand

    Nobody actually sane will take seriously the haters on this site who are basing their notes on:
    "Females don't show boobs", "I can't unlock everything a week after the game launched" and "you gotta spend 6500$" which is fake since you can't actually buy everything on the premium store and the currency used on it can be earned ingame quickly.

    With MK11 already confirmed to have the best launch of the series, your review bombing campaign has already proved useless. Too bad trolls! :D

    Extremely fun to play and engaging when committing to a character. I'm also a massive fan of the new characters they've introduced namely Kollector who's a kombo loving beast. In general this is the best feeling mortal kombat for me, was just a joy to **** your opponents up.

    The campaign has more weight, narrative drive and spectacle than MK:X. In general the main campaign is by far better than I was expecting. Still a Hollywood-esque experience but with enough plot points and variations on old tropes in the franchise to have kept me engaged until the end. Additionally, aside from exposing you to new characters which I found was surprisingly good at landing a new kombatant into my character pool. I fondly remember getting my hands on kotal kahn and destroying everyone because his move-set just... Sort of clicked.

    The classic game modes make a return in all their splendor and glory, and after beating my first tower with Kollector I realised the individual dialogues are nicely fleshed out and satisfying to beat the last (and reasonably tough) opponent guarding the ending. Now... Onto the bad...

    The microtransactions in this game are very greedy. The customisation for each character is more extensive than ever and as a result the game forces many awesome weapon and character skins behind (now patched to be more reasonable) a grind or a plethora of premium currencies to "augment" your favourite touches to an already impressively beautiful character design. This is just .. disappointing but the gameplay more than makes up for it. It's such a fun feeling game I can get through the grind to unlock the skins for my favourite kombatants as I master my mains. But lastly... And more insidiously are the konsumables.

    Now as I understand it, by winning in towers and other fun classic challenges in the konquer game mode, as well as leveling up, gets you consumables in the form of actual in game advantage. From healing potions to special moves from other fighters... This is added to milk players that are getting frustrated with the games difficulty. Now there's both wrong with needing a hand to improve but there has to be a better way than microtransaction based konsumables that a bad player would not be able to acquire easily otherwise (as mentioned previously you must beat towers to actually get those). They can completely trivialise the fight and is by far the most hollow aspect of the game. Add a system to promote practice, learning to chain kombos, that some kombos are better than others at certain ranges, to learn multiple characters and using special moves to greater effect than simply spamming. This game's combat is the best it's ever been! It's the most deep also! So why leave a way to cheese the game? You can even get a konsumable to just flat out skip a fight. There has to be a better way to promote not so good players from growing in skill... And not like this.

    Since people barrage this masterclass game with 0's and extremely low scores it's only fitting I give it an obscenely high score. The game as it stands is an 8/10 if not 9/10 but the konsumables, grinding for awesome customisation and more greed brings it down.

    Overall, best MK thus far. Thoroughly enjoying myself with this one.    … Expand

    The best MK in history. Best graphics, best gameplay and overall the best MK game ever. There will be DLC's but they are not pay to win. Most of cosmetics is unlock able only by playing and you can not buy all looks. For me it does not matter how much skins are in game, however it would be nice to have more standard skins.

    As for the way the game looks just........... *MIND BLOWING* in 4k or 1080p.

    The crit I have on the game is that there are still a few areas where it plays at 30fps,
    the few day one glitches like server disconnects, the lag input on controls which happened more than once.

    Other than that for you who are MK fan this is another great entry into the MK series.    … Expand

I grew up in an arcade owned family, I’ve been to many tournaments since MK3 and played them all. This game is great. It has an injustice feel with rather simpler combos. The reason why the game doesn’t get a 10 in my book is because of the long cut scenes during combos. This game cost money to make. 59.99 is 2-3 skins in a game like fortnite . People don’t know how to rate games now a days. You guys just aren’t that good at it. But cmon ratings like 0 and 1 lol you guys are too much. Don’t ruin it for the true MK fans because of “OPTIONAL” micro transactions. U have enough in the base game to leave all that alone. Unless your really that good and what to train with every character which I doubt. Pick a main character find their BREAD AND BUTTER combos and slay out, guaranteed you’d love the game. Not to mention online is silky smooth. Peace! And remember...FINISH HIM!… Expand

    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
