    MK11 is a mixed package. The presentation is great, but the animations can get a bit tiring, and the over-the-top violence can get numbing. The gameplay is really solid, but the grind to get the cosmetics and upgrades feels even more tiring and numbing. Hopefully the grindy parts are adjusted, and the long animations aren't a deal breaker, just an annoyance.

    The grind is an ever-present frustration, but it is also something I am willing to power through - like Shao Khan's hammer to my opponent's head. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    Whether you’re a longtime fan or just looking for a story mode to grind, or even just interested in learning a little more about fighting games outside of simply mashing the buttons, there is something for everyone in Mortal Kombat 11 — or at least, everyone who can stomach the extreme violence and gore.

    I don't like to give a 0, but the singleplayer is the only part I'm interested in, but it's completely destroyed in this game, which makes the whole game completely useless to me.

    Of course, the devs wanna fix it, but it seems to be part of a plan.
    They have bad grinding in mind, but put in terrible grinding.
    So they just change the extremely terrible grinding to the bad grinding, they already had in mind.
    Which won't turn the game into a good game.

    So yeah... f*ck you WB.    … Full Review »
