    Want to play Mortal Kombat? Well, here you are. This is as good as it gets. If you need a reminder, go play the older ones, anything in the middle of 3 and X are ... not good man...they really are not. This one does everything right. Don't let these far right edgelords tell you what to think. Go play it somewhere, give it a go. You'll be surprised. This IS Mortal Kombat.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La verdad me pareció un juego EXELENTE siguiendo la historia de Mortal Kombat X introduciendo versiones viejas de los anteriores personajes como Jade, Shao Khan y otros, la historia esta medio buena pero almenos a mi no me llego a atraer del todo y es una película literalmente pero peli de las buenas, los modelos de los personajes me parecen INCREIBLES TANTO SKINS DESBLOQUEABLES A LAS DE LA HISTORIA como Liu Kang Dios del Fuego que me encanta o la de Zub-Zero Samurai, el modo kryta me parece nedio pesado y aveces complicado el online esta muy bueno y sobre todo por el croosplat es muy bueno que lo implementará, los gráficos me parecen muy buenos y la verdad una de las cosas que más disfrute fue el doblaje al español latino, aveces se descordinaba y perdías el toque del momento pero en general el doblaje es MUY BUENOO un gran trabajo y junto a todo esto e jugado juegos mejores y aun así no me aguante y le tuve que sacar el platino, el juego en general es bueno pero tiene un montón de cosas malas o más resaltables que otras cosas pero pero almenos a mi no fue suficiente para no darme horas de diversión y atracción incluso el deseo de conseguir el platino y al final lo termine consiguiendo, En general tiene ese 8 muy merecido pero almenos hasta que pruebe otra versión como la ultimate en ps4 o Ps5 no calificare alguna de las 2 pero almenos a mi esta versión me dejo satisfecho a medias pero bueno habrá que ver como dije si juego la versión ultimate en ps4 o ps5 y le haré un reseña Ps ID: DiegoWolf29… Expand

Now with the new update this game is where it should have been when released. 8/10. The only thing that this game lacks now is content. This meaning game modes (tag-team, minigames, conquest mode). There are still towers that have ridiculous modifiers that can only be beaten with modifiers of your own, which makes it a chore but there are much less of those now. Now i can recommend this game.

    2/10, Payed 100 for the premium because I've been a fan since they the first game and was really looking forward to this. Gameplay is acceptable. They took out juggling combos (only can do 1 or 2 strings of combos), slower pace, over emphasis on frame fighting etc, but that's not the problem with the game. Its a different game, just needs some getting used to. Graphics and online net-coding is probably the games strongest points. They removed a lot of great game modes like tag team and the minigames. MK9 was the best MK game. they took a step back with MKX and I thought that was acceptable. This game just jumped off the cliff. Oh, an all those people complaining about the story or the endings, political correctness or social justice warriors. Ignore those fools. Story is just whatever, not great (kinda felt like they pulled the Last Jedi stunt), but its MK. Just based on the core game. It's a 7/10.

    Now lets talk about the real problems. Its a mobile game essentially. If this game was free to play, I really wouldn't have any qualms with it. But! I payed for a full game, and everything is locked behind a paywall. It requires a ridiculous amount of gameplay to unlock just one thing. All of their previous games had no problems with this (except MKX). The grind was reasonable. The tower of time is also impossible and just not fun because its so annoying with all the modifiers that put you at a severe disadvantage. You can skip some fights but need to use a token, which you will probably have to pay for down the line. Ed boon really messed up. I lost all respect for his company and team. I don't understand what was going on in their minds to think this was remotely a good idea. Now this can all change if they remove all that unnecessary junk micro-transactions or make the grind reasonable like their previous games, and make the towers playable without all the modifiers or have it effect the opponent as well. I've never felt so betrayed by a developer before. Where this game stands right now is a 2/10. I thought EA was bad with star wars battlefront 2. Looks like netherrealm studios wanted to surpass EA. Well they sure did.    … Expand

The game looks and feels soooo good and the story is much better than the last one given what a Mortal Kombat story gives us. Again, the people that are review-bombing the game are nit-picky kids who probably don't even have the game. Also, there is no micro-transactions to progress in the game. You get enough time krytstals to buy things just by playing the game. You cannot PAY TO PASS THE GAME PEOPLE! You cannot buy skip fights, you cannot buy konsumables, you cannot buy souls or hearts. To add, the KRYPT chest are NOT randomly generated loot. The only thing that is random about the Krypt is the location of most chests. Things like heart chests are NOT RANDOMLY PLACED!… Expand

    I would honestly put 9 out of 10.
    All the negativity trolling campaign of some haters here is truly laughable.
    The only valid complaint is the unbalanced difficulty of the Towers of Time and that's pretty much it. Gonna be fixed soon too.

    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

    For any people hesitating on buying the game, go on, it's awesome and the next step after MKX!    … Expand

    Mortal Kombat 11 is filled with a 10/10 story mode and content that you can do for awhile. The unique character designs speak volumes as do the personality in each of them. Netherrealm brought so many of our favorites to life with their new face scan tech and better animations than any MK before. Thank you NRS.

    Great game. The combat mechanics are polished to a new level, is going to be fun to play online. Story mode is fun to watch, and the tutorial system is so complex that help new players in fighting games get a grasp of complex mechanics.

    Only gripe is the Krypt currency system, but has been announced a fix for it coming very soon.

    The only thing keeping me from giving this a 10 is the way you earn and unlock cosmetics and skins and how the Krypt is randomized as opposed to the old system we all knew and loved. Crates are padded with consumables instead of things we want to unlock for characters. Other than character towers, finding cosmetics for your main is a heck of a long grind, kinda like how ridiculous it wasThe only thing keeping me from giving this a 10 is the way you earn and unlock cosmetics and skins and how the Krypt is randomized as opposed to the old system we all knew and loved.

Other than character towers, finding cosmetics for your main is a heck of a long grind, kinda like how ridiculous it was to get gear for your mains in injustice 2 (to this day I never got the staff of Greyson). The modifiers inthe Tower of time make it legitimately unplayable, and I am an experienced fighting game player. Tho, these are all things that they said they'll fix so I have hope. Also, of course, the gameplay and online is amazing. The graphics are also breathtaking and so are the stages.… Expand

    With all the crap microtransactions aside, this game has the best story in the series so far. A satisfying conclusion for the current continuity. The gameplay is even better than before. The graphics are pretty awesome for a console game in 2019 (I play on a PS4 Pro). Everything is done right except for the MTX and all the grindfest.

    The guys saying its bad are upset because every skin wasn't handed to them on a silver platter and they also didn't know there's better places to see half naked women than a video game. There's been improvements to the grind and its an overall very solid game, worth every penny. Definitely not SJW trash though, if it was would they really let you do everything you can do in the game?

    This is a great, deep fighting game with a lot of life and a lot of fun to be had. That is the core of this game. The monetization is publisher decision, and I won't hold NeatherRealm responsible for it. The game satisfies on plenty of levels. Don't believe all the fake reviews.

    This game deserves a score of 10 for the story mode alone. What a technological marvel and a feast for your eyes and ears. As a fighting game alone, it is probably the best one I have played since the newer Killer Instinct. All characters are well designed, the netcode is solid and the stages look amazing. I am going to sink many hours into this game.

This game's kombat is the deepest of the franchise, giving it more space to strategic thinking and neutral style, which is a great and necessary addition. Story mode is polished as hell and the best that NetherRealm has put out yet! Online connection is pretty solid just as well. The only point that I'm taking out from this otherwise flawless fighting game is the unbalanced Towers of Time, which as of right now are hard af and can be a real grind. But even that has been addressed by Ed Boon himself, saying that his team will patch it asap. There are some microtransactions in the game that allow you to get cosmetics faster if you wish, but NO CONTENT is exclusively hidden behind paywalls aside from the usual DLC characters, this is another bs that has been spreading around like wildfire by trolls and people who didnt even bother to play the game before reviewing it, and they dare talk about nasty practices... come on people… Expand

    Like the grisly cutscenes, Mortal Kombat 11 is fun as long as you don't think too hard or look too closely at it - but that's exactly where the real joy is found in a fighting game. If Mortal Kombat wants to elevate itself, it's time to start overhauling the skeleton underneath all that flesh. [Issue#333, p.110]
