    Full of bugs, high towers difficulty to make you spend more money, only 3 slots to add new moves (why not include them all and have a larger move park?). For me Mortal Kombat died with this chapter, I will never buy it again, you do the same.

    A fighting game that focuses on grind and consumables to force the player to play deserves a 0. They fkd the Krypt by making placement random so you have to waste currency trying to find items for the character you want, instead of just getting them and going back to playing/learning the game.

    Alright, first of all I want to say is "GET WOKE GO BROKE" just for the sake of mocking Jax's quote at the end of the game.

    Secondly, if it's not the stupid developer decisions regarding the story that'll make you avoid this game, then it'll be the microtransactions, the game is full of it. It's an awful attempt at a cash-grab and it's made even more evident when you think about how

    It's an awful attempt at a cash-grab and it's made even more evident when you think about how much the game caters to political correctness just for the sake of getting extra "morally superior cause" points and get more people to buy the game which was ultimately this game's downfall.

    Do NOT buy the game, even as a joke, it's truly THAT bad.

    PS: Leftists hate microtransactions even more than conservatives and liberals, so if you go full woke just to get more money from microtransactions, then don't.

    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!

    This is by far and away the best Mortal Kombat across the series. Specifically in terms of gameplay, animation, kombo fluidity, character move-set variet and special move customisation.

    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
    This is by far and away the best Mortal Kombat across the series. Specifically in terms of gameplay, animation, kombo fluidity, character move-set variet and special move customisation.

    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.

    The PC version of Mortal Kombat 11 is also a crash fest. Myself and many others cannot even play the game because it crashes at least every 5 minutes.

Myself and many others cannot even play the game because it crashes at least every 5 minutes. WB/NRS really screwed it up for people who want to play their game, but ultimately I think it will still make them a lot of money. The towers are designed to be unwinnable without using items found in crates, consumables, or spending money to skip certain challenges. To find things in crates is completely random, and lootboxes in all but name, since you are just psychologically pressured via the grindy gameplay into using real money to buy in game money to open them, rather than made to directly spend real money. MK11 is trying it's very best to force you to spend money, and all the items would be at least several thousand dollars, and that is if you could just straight up buy them, since you need to gamble to get most things.

    But the saddest thing for me is that it's always online. This basically means that if WB/NRS stop making huge amounts of money, or when they are ready to make you buy a new version and all the DLC again, then they will shut down the servers and you will be unable to play the product you paid for, which is BS. MK 1 will be playable 30 years after release, but MK 11 being a game as a "service" will be unplayable forever in 5-10 or sooner.

    This is a good fighting game that is packaged as a free to play game, full of all the psychological pressuring found in Fortnite or a mobile game, and then sold full price when the developers assured us it wouldn't contain lootboxes.

A pity that they have ruined the game that in itself, has an excellent fighting system and not to mention the graphics.
    On the other hand, the servers have constant errors, and even when playing offline modes, an error occurs and it asks to restart the game. I am very disappointed with MK11. Urgent WB and Netherrealm must take action on the matter and improve the internal economy of the game and correct errors in the servers.

    MK has been a long and illustrious series spanning decades however in recent years the tarnish has been growing, and now we have a full blown $60 that plays quite similar to a Mobile Game, I honestly feel this isn't the developers fault but most likely Warner Bros being the bloodsuckers that they are.

    Another issue is the ever increasing censorship, the interesting and sexy costumes being covered up more and more, because certain PC whiny SJW groups complain, enough~ we don't care about you or your 'safe spaces' go troll someone else with your politically correct ideologies, far too many developers are caving into SJWs these days, and its atrocious.

    We all know that fan favorite characters that are missing from the roster are not 'actually' missing, but paid DLC to come at a later date, let's not kid ourselves here - I'm willing to bet good money that if it wasn't for the already significant outrage that Mileena would show up in the store for $10 at some point or a free unlock if you're willing to spend 50+ hours of grind to unlock.

    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.

    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.
