    you must be online to play this game, i got to say, you must be kidding with me !

    Censorship on this game is funny, it is +18, but actually they built it for children's.

    they covered women and ripped the cloth out of men's body, for God's sake it is +18 game, normal tv channels are more uncovered than your game.

    Be careful with this game! In Spain they have not doubled the game to Spanish or Castilian. It has many micropayment systems. It is a machine to take your money. If you do not want to take a long time to get something, you pay. Many unnecessary DLC. Better to wait for the full version with patches and dlc included in the disk at a reduced price, while you play it borrowed by a friend. DoBe careful with this game!

    For those who give this game score below 5 let me ask you this:
    Are you really scoring the game which was made by NRS?
    Or the microtransactions and that EXTRA grind which was put by OBVIOUSLY WB? Please for sake of NRS *if at this point you even care* take back/ remove or change your score They made this game with improvements better than we could expect And you guys are blaming

    I give it a 10/10 because of you guys to get the average score higher
    But to be fair I would have given them a 8.5/10 because of extra grind *which they are trying their best to make it better* and Towers of Time fights
    Also selling Frost which you can easily get just by playing story *I don't know who made that microtransactions

    Again I ask everyone to rethink of their scoring

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Things I didn't like so far:

    1. Women are all covered up like muslims, according to devs "datz more mature and rizpectful", since when more clothes=more respectful? When you go to the beach and see all the women in bikinis, do you disrespect them? No, that's BS... "but but u dont fight in bikiniz", really? what about UFC? Also what about male characters? They show a lot of skin, that double standard is very hypocrite. Just say the truth man, they made the characters unattractive so the landwhales who play the game don't get jealous.

    2. Also devs: "people who critisize the game are not real fans", just because we are fans of a franchise it doesn't mean we have to eat all the excrement you expel from your anus. If you ruin your own franchise we won't support you.

    3. Microtransactions are awful, it looks like a cashgrab mobile game.

    4. Shao Kahn saying "make the Outworld great again", really? now we have politics in MK? "but but itz just a joke" yeah right, just a joke, what a coincidence that the one who says that, is one of the most evil characters ever. It's obvious that they are implying that Trump is as evil as Shao Kahn, and that's also BS.

    5. I haven't seen all endings, but Jax's ending is a joke, first of all, time travel doesn't work like that, second, it's a Wakanda ripoff, really lazy and unoriginal... "you hate it cuz you want blackz to be slavez", no, I don't like slaves, I just don't want politics in my games.

    6. Warner censoring people who criticise the game.

    Trash. This game is full of grind and microtransactions. I traded this game in the day after I bought it and was very disappointed. Utter garbage. DO NOT BUY. It was most likely WB games that forced Netherrealm to turn MK 11 into a grind fest. I don’t think I’ll ever buy a WB published game again, or one from Bethesda or EA, for that matter.

    To those who say that the game is bad because the women are not revealing enough, there are micro transactions forcing you to look through chests, and because you have to have online all the time to play, I will briefly refute your ignorant claims.

    Firstly, the complaint about women not being revealing is the stupidest crap I have ever heard. Stop being thirsty and let a game create

    Firstly, the complaint about women not being revealing is the stupidest crap I have ever heard. Stop being thirsty and let a game create badass women, (with great personalities), that promote womens rights. As a male, I feel ashamed that I have to say this but yeah.

    Secondly, the microtransactions do not force you to purchase anything with real money, but rather you have to use in game "Koins." Also, this grinding for koins is only necessarry if you wish to collect all of the fatalities and items in the game. If you have a life, then not grinding and doing this over time will not be such an issue. These are unlockables, not items you absolutely have to get.

    So far I'm truly loving the game. Sound design and audio atmosphere is great. Game play is good as always and the changes that were made help balance things out in my opinion. Not 100% sure if I truly enjoy Ronda Rousey as Sonya, but yet again it's also a mix of not being used to her voice as Sonya and that she isn't a trained voice actress.

    As a whole the game is amazing and I haven't

    -The graphics are good, but the pc port is once again suffering from issues. (artifacting/warping assets etc)
    -The game has a lot of cosmetics for every character, however do not rejoice. You must grind the Krypt for every single one of those items, where the prices of chests are laughably high. The item drops are RNG, which makes it an absolutely tedious chore to unlock a single item for a character you want to customize.
    -The entire game must be online at all times, (yes, even the campaign). And when the servers disconnect, you guessed it, you will be losing progress and/or settings. Getting booted offline will cause the game to crash, even when you are not playing online.
    -The game makes an attempt at feeding you SJW garbage such as; virtue signaling about womens' clothing in a game about murdering each other, blatantly trying to force political agendas on you in certain parts of certain endings along with some parts suffering from tasteless writing that just makes you raise your eyebrows.
    -This is a 60 dollars game, yet they have a store with micro-transactions being offered to the player in the menu.
    +The combat is somewhat fun and solid, but the overall horrible decisions from the publisher/developer makes it hard to find the positive features in the game. (because there is hardly any)

    Not even the gameplay can save MK11 from WB's greedy practices and negligent behavior towards the overall quality of their product, this why the final score is a 0.

I believe I counted FOUR different forms of currency. Clearly that's a WB move for the shareholders.

    The core of this game deserves a higher score but with the absurd microtransactions it shot itself in the foot. The greed in gaming needs to be addressed but I've seen a lot of complaints here regarding Jax's ending (why the outrage over that?) or the fact that women are fully clothed and to me that's a terrible metric for whether or not the game is good. If seeing half-naked women is your main or only motivator for gaming I'd suggest putting down the controller and trying to build a relationship with real live women instead because that is not on the list of real problems with this games' setup.

    I'm so happy MK has turned into a corporate dumpster fire/grindy mobile game that glorifies violence against women but won't allow a little skin being shown. Because that makes total sense.

    I actually purchased the Switch Deluxe edition, and have barely touched all modes. After a couple hours play, I say whole heartedly, one of my most regretful game buys in my 35 year life. To keep my negative points concise. Tall order, there are a lot

    Combat (Kombat?), is utterly clunky, most the time you press buttons, nothing will even happen barring a basic punch/kick. Some combos seem unusually and extremely impossible to pull off. Krushing Blows are horrendously out of context (clearly undisputable lethal moves don't kill opponents). There are tons of fighting nuances, many are extremely twitch-precision to have much chance to achieve. Fatalities in many cases can just look ridiculous and unstylish (this game doesn't take itself seriously nearly enough)
    Short of 2 professionals going at each other with probably at least 20 hours of training each will leave you with matches that don't exhibit any entertaining or exhilarating martial-arts filled fights with oddball moves and some cutscene brutal attacks.
    Expect every local fight from real players you watch to be paused 100 times so players can re-review combos, specials n fatality button controls

    The rest of the game seemingly, in short. Story mode IMO is terrible. Every character is the same. Pompous, emotionless meat heads. Nearly all cutscenes just the next excuse to set up the ensuing fight. Absolute waste of full motion video and my drives GB's (so far in my couple hours play)

    Games all round learning curve seems to be an absolute vertical wall, with the game offering diddly squat upfront assistance to the absolute trillions upon squillions of menu's, options, modes. Much can be figured out with time naturally. But features like character customisations are again, extraordinarily nuanced beyond measure so unnecessarily. Many skins are repeats, characters could have done with far fewer options, offering all round vastly more varied character visual styles. The design here is purely to encourage grind play in the alternate modes. Which lo and behold, the whole games currency features reside online. Expect never ending server updates, server fails resulting in the delay of your rewards etc...

    nigh-on 3 decades of the same game being iterated, and this is the best that could be done. Mortal Kombat 1 was the pinnacle of it's new n unique design, with many improvements that followed shortly after.
    Since those early days, this game has barely evolved an inch with a mish mash of changing ideas that the devs can never get right.

    Mortal Kombat is a brutal violent , martial arts based franchise. This game should cut the corny jokes, focus far more on stylised martial arts for it's story imagery and in game mechanics (vs oddball, clunky hit-patterns and often novelty style attacks).
    May God help these developers

    Sorry, I'd have given it a 9 but the 10 goes out automatically to the INSANE 0's plastered all over this site. Clearly users have no clue how to review games. It's a great thing they are NOT official. Why am I not surprised, considering the controversy the game arose already based on the SJW garbage. *Facepalms* I can't believe we're even at this point....just sit back and enjoy an awesome game! Not everything always has to be about politics.

    Also, geez...don't gamers want to be rewarded for unlocking stuff? I mean, everything in the game is obtainable. They're not forcing you to pay. It has been this way since MK9, no one was saying **** about that (I still haven't unlocked stuff in THAT game because lack of coins....just didn't feel like earning them anymore.)

    Anyway, MK11 features the BEST Liu Kang, the BEST Johnny Cage, the BEST Scorpion and all the other characters are either on par or already give justice to their already iconic status.

    First they fully cover up EVERY woman in the game. Okay, I´m not asking for the girls going to wear g-strings, but come on, there is nothing wrong about them having a little sex appeal, specially the outworld ladies.

    Then came the excuse that they were getting “mature”, “realistic”. Ok, mature, when almost every male is shirtless or in loincloth. Realistic, as if professional female fighters and atheltes didn´t wear tops, shorts, leotards... (but that´s okay and really mature, to behead, cut in half and dismember other people).

    Then we see the hypocrisy, their efforts to please SJWs and people who will not evel buy or play the game in detriment of the fans.

    But this ended being the least of the problems...

    I will not lie, the graphics are amazing, the story mode is really cool, but all other aspects of the game are a catastrophe.

    First, NRS and WB games lied to the fans. “No lootboxes” they said. And the Krypt is a giant lootbox with those cursed RNG itens, that everyone hated in Injustice 2. Well, now they are even worse.

    Then they made avery tower absurdly grindy só the players feel almost obligated to do what? Microtransactions! In order to unlock the costumes, fatalities, and all that amazing customization that they announced as being the great differential of the game.

    As if this was not enough, there is the ALWAYS ONLINE requeriment. I can´t even fnish a tower, because the servers always go down at the exact same place of the last battle.

    NRS and WB really did it! They managed to insert stupid politics in the game, and also merge this with the most vile forms of greed.

    It´s a GAME! I play a GAME to have FUN, not to bother with real life matters and politics of any kind!

    After the censoring and lootboxes of Injustice 2, MK 11 was my final change to NRS and WB, and they proved me that they could do really, REALLY, worse.

    Foolme once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me... they say.

    And I swear, as I did with EA, I will now do to NRS and WB. I will never EVER agin buy anything they release. Even if MK 12 comes as the absolute oposite of MK 11, these companies have lost my respect and, more important to them, MY MONEY.

    First thing that got to me was the bad roster. Right off the bat it's about 80% the same characters from MKX and a handful from MK9 come back.

There are only 3 new characters and it is subjective but I don't like them. They look like something out of Injustice and do not fit the MK style. It would have been nice to see more variety, some past MK characters that haven't been playable in over a decade. Fujin was heavily requested since MK9. He missed being in TWO DLC packs for MKX despite fan outcry, and yet again is not included here. But we get Sonya, Kano, Johnny, Kung Lao, et. al. for the 10th+ time. It's such a "safe" and boring roster that there's nothing to make it stand out from the last two games. Ed Boon said at reveal this game would be "packed full of fan favorites" but unless after 25 years you are craving to play more Sonya and Johnny and somehow haven't gotten tired of them then I'm not seeing it.

    Bad roster is one thing, maybe DLC will "fix" it. Tthough if characters like Fujin DO make it as DLC that's almost just as bad since they should have been base roster to make it more diverse and side-line Sonya/Kano/etc to a DLC slot. Plus it just looks like easy milking of the fans since NRS KNOWS Fujin/others are in high demand but purposely didn't include them only to maybe sell later? But it's impossible to ignore the current controversy about how MK has become politicized. I'm not going to dwell on specifics since the news is everywhere, but I'm firm on my stance that video games should be purely a form of entertainment, not a platform to push current political agendas. Start doing that and games just become another tool for propaganda. NRS is based in Chicago, has hired some new outspoken liberal writers to their staff, and it really shows in the final product. I play video games to get away from life's problems, they're an escape from reality, not a place to have political views (liberal OR conservative) shoved in my face, or trying to "guilt" me into feeling a certain way. MK has never been about this kind of thing but this time they have made it way too blatant to simply overlook as coincidence. There is obviously some hostility the staff feels toward the current climate in America but their personal beliefs should be kept out of a work of a fiction and a form of recreation. There are more appropriate mediums for them to express their dislike rather than forcing it in a Mortal freakin' Kombat video game of all places. Very sad to see MK reduced to this. I can't support MK being used in this way and so urge you also not to support this new trend of using video games as a political weapon.

The developers are liars, the game is full of micro-transactions, an unacceptable level of grinding for items we have already paid for and randomized loot boxes replace the once loved krypt. The new character skins are mostly just hundreds of color variations each needing to be unlocked and all end up looking quite similar as the female characters have been ruined by unnecessary and stupid clothing design decisions.

    Unfortunately I have lost all trust in NetherRealm / Warner Bros and will never pre-order another game from these two companies again. This is also the first ever feedback review I have even taken the time to write as my free time is valuable, as I am sure yours is also. It would be nice if a AAA game developer recognized this rather than exploiting it.

    I predict that WB are going to need a miracle of a code re-write to save this one from the bargain bin.

And for balancing characters since they bad at playing their own games.

    In the end they are catering their game to appease game journalists who are not real gamers
    neither are they real journalists .To get good ratings to get the fighting game community to buy the game .Who only are interested in the tournament mode and multiplayer mode.While the Fanboys buy everything since they so in love with the franchise. And the casual crowd are buying the game for the household name,story mode and violence alone.Not knowing that the developers left out the micro transactions in their test copy's. To not alert consumers of its inclusion and to keep the games review score high.

    That is not the only scummy thing they did .They also sell you disc locked content.
    Of characters who where part of the roster in previous games.They basically reselling you old characters instead of new ones.Who are part of the story mode and you can fight against. One is unlockable but the other one you only can get.If you preorder the game or buy it for real money .They where in the game from the start and locked off to sell to you as DLC.

    It is a full price game that is treated like a mobile game or free to play game.Where you have to grind for days to get what you want .While having always to be online so they can monetize you .Even if you only frequent the single player modes .You spend your hard earned money on it only to be brainwashed to spend more on it.

    If that is not enough ,while you are playing.The game tells you how to think as a person.
    You like attractive women who are well dressed ? Screw you! Even if we depict the women this way in the previous games .Your a chauvinist ,sexist pig for wanting them the way you are used to in the franchise.Because its demeaning to normal regular women .And sets a false standard how women have to look like and counts as body shaming .But for men its not ? So we all have to look like we hitting the gym 24/7 or we are not real men ? Your underestimating players by thinking they are not able to distinct between a game and real life .If that was the case the violence rate would go up after the launch of the game .News flash , female players like to look at attractive women as well .

    The people you try to catering to are not the ones that buying your products.How can the women in the game defend themselves with so much fabric on their body's .Sure for a gun fight you get along but not for a close up fight .I never seen a female athlete who is dressed like a mummy to do her job .Even soldiers take off some weight to move better or when they spar together.

    Stop virtue signaling it feels forced and there are always elements in a game that falls short because of it.People play games to relax and escape the crap in their lives.Instead we are forced to listen to a soy fueled beta`s SJW rambling. Be it Shao Kahn quoting Donald Trump .Forced feminists moments in story mode.Caucasian writers white knighting African Americans. By pointing out they are just a minority and not the same race as they are. I am all for equality and diversity.But these people using their message to get you on their side. And getting money out of you while doing it .While being low key racist about it .

    Take all the controversy away you still have all the problems a game made by NRS has .
    Which are the ugly design choices .Wonky animations .And bad character balancing . Instead of giving players time to find solutions themselves overtime .They resort to patch every problem away as soon as someone complains about it .Which sucks because if you take a break from the game for a while.Then come back your character does not work the way you remember it. And you have to relearn the character all over again .After a year or so all characters are Nerfed to hell and are no fun to play anymore .Instead of making weak characters better they always resort to Nerf the stronger characters .

    For people who do these games for 20 years or so.They sure have learned nothing from it. Instead they steal game mechanics from other games (SCVI) and prioritize graphics and moneytization .
    Still i liked the NRS games but these last two MK (X/11) games are the final nail in the coffin for me. Because i will not support woke agenda in games .And games as a service are trash and can die for all i care.

The AI has been rediculously inflated, perfect blocking constantly in a game where my max meterless pickup damage is down a full 33% or more from the previous title. Kombos were better in MK3, seriously. And you have to be connected to their servers to earn any rewards or use the Kasino at all. MKXL is a better game in every way imaginable. Do not buy this garbage. Expand

    This exemplifies perfectly the saying. Get woke, go broke.
    Avoid at all cost unless you wan to be lectured.

    Yes the game looks good but the gameplay remains bland compare to Street Fighter or any SNK game.
    The game is a also a grind fest to motivates Micro-transactions.
    The cherry on the cake is the arrogance of NRS that felt justified to infest the game with real-world politics. I'm not buying a game to get manipulated by self-righteous people who thinks they know anything. Don't buy

Hopefully WB / NetherRealm update this crap and remove all this wall of grind, at the moment they seem like Capcom: Look at Street Fighter V sales. It's not a bad game, but begging for money in a paid game is not decent. I have been disappointed. This game should give them shame. Shame on you WB / Nether Realm.
    People: Stay away from this pile of loot boxes / grind wall / microtransactions. All players need to score zero this piece of garbage oh and it requires being 100% online even to play alone. Oh and you'll not find some of your favorite characteres as Mileena, Sindel, all the ninjas with the same suit, etc

Overall, the reduction of meaningful single player content makes me like it less than MKX. Gotta bump my score up a little bit because it pissed off a bunch of racists who have somehow convinced themselves that Jax going back in time and stopping the transatlantic slave trade is racist, or think a game where you can literally pound a guys head through his torso and out his butt is "sjw" somehow? lol, these are the same people complaining about outrage culture btw, lol.

    The good:
    - Story mode is pretty decent this time around, it addresses a lot of the flaws with the 9 and X stories.
    - Most of the redesigned characters look fantastic. No, I don't care that the women don't look like whores anymore. Jade's redesign is especially fantastic, but Sonya looks a little off. - The gameplay is as good as it's ever been, smoother than ever and with better pacing

    - The gameplay is as good as it's ever been, smoother than ever and with better pacing and defensive options than MKX.
    - Arcade endings are voiced by the character you won with! **** finally.
    - Good online netcode - the most important thing in a fighting game.

    The bad:
    - Really don't care all that much for a single one of the new characters. They're all rather dull, even Geras who seems like he should be interesting just has nothing to him.
    - Enough with the modifiers in PvE play already - I don't want to fight someone with 300% health!
    - Too many supplementary modes and "towers" and all this **** you don't need.

    The ugly:
    - Jesus. ****. Christ. They promoted the gear systems and customizables a hell of a lot during the hype period for this game, so to see it be executed with a grindy mess of unfair challenge, ridiculously low rewards, and such a clear cash-grabbing **** you" is the single worst thing about this game.

    Overall: I would've give this game an 8 or a 9 if it weren't for the single, almost replayability-killer that is the gear system. If you were looking forward to that system, which I wasn't, to be fair, you're going to be MASSIVELY disappointed. However, if you're not that kind of player, if you didn't bother buying shirts and titles in Tekken 7, if you really just want a good 2D fighting game with an admittedly great online experience, you can bump the score up two or three whole points. It's really **** good.

    Mortal Kombat has been a fixture in my gaming library for as long as I can remember. When I was 5 years old, sneaking and watching my older cousin play the original on Sega Genesis, and then getting MK2 for myself. Sure there have been some hits and misses, and MK11 is definitely a hit (pun intended). The combat is rock solid. Slower paced than MKX, but not in a bad way.

The story mode is entertaining and just cheesy enough to not take itself too seriously. The classic towers are what you would expect. The krypt has its issues with grinding, but I have always thought of it as an added bonus for lore anyway. The addition of cosmetics is nice, but it's not necessary to the game at all. Overall, I am impressed with this game. It is MK at it's best. My only gripe would be that you basically have to always be connected online to gain rewards, but if I am reviewing strictly for game play, this is not a huge knock. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I began to play MK series since day one, back in 92 with my cousins Sega megadrive, it was love at first round. Along these years I allmost bought i played pretty much all the games and i can say for sure that WB is not doing a great job with one of the most, famous, respected, a fan suporting sagas of all time, and i´m pretty sure the MOST in Fighting games... i mean... everybody knows what a fatality is... and scorpion and Sub-zero are known arround the planet. Now... about MK11 there are many things that bother me, but there are solid possitives too.

    Pros:
    -The way the fights are more technical, and not 20 combo hits that keeps you fliying for eternity

    -The new X-Ray system, like an last breath atack, but they should keep the bone-breaking effects

    -The Kostumization it´s very cool, allows you to actually choose habilities and not schemes or modes for a character, leting you create your kombatant as you wish

    -Graphics and style is a +

    -I actually like the put more clothes on the girls, but they should keep the old skins too, the new skins make them look serious fighters, but some of them like Jade and Kitana really had this Killer charm that it should be kept... just make this sknis unlockables

    -The tutorial is great, best so far... has 2 parts, 1 general and one specefic for each kombatant

    -Fatalities are pretty awesome ... dind´t see all of them, but till now are great

    -Brutalities are very fluid... like an instant fatality... my first was the scorpion uppercut... i allmost **** myself... AWESOMe, i wasn´t even triying to and BOOM... your head is no more...

    -The Story mode its acceptable for a MK... we know its not their top priority

    -Many different towers to unlock items for specific Kombatans, you can even buy 1 for the fighter YOU want

    Cons:
    - Ramdom Krypt chests??? ARE YOU F*King SERIOUS??? thats a STUPIDIEST THING EVER, i was never a fan of the krypt... like... NEVER, but now i Just HATE it beyond levels it shouldnt be possible

    -Grinding... yes... it seems that making the sub-zero i dream of it´s gonna take sooooo much time

    - Online mandatory, thats just plain stupid... you must be online if you want to play online... making this mandatory it´s just nonesense

    -The towers are too hard... pushing you to buy with realmoney. Not cool

    - About the towers.. the fights were the oponent has a tag mate are WAY TOO MUCH, the atacks are allmost unblokable, too fast, and if its a guy like sub-zero is extreamly annoying, special ataks that freeze, low hit, that axe combo... F*ing nonesense

    -Many Kombatants are missing... you are time traveling arroun MK universe and no Meelina, nighwolf, Sektor and Cyrax, ERMAC... REPTILE.. are you SERIOUS??? Those and others...

    -Missing modes, the test your luck... a promisse for DLC? Dick move... Also I loved Chest Kombat, love it with all my Soul and provably it´s not a hard mode to implement, i really wish somebody read this and give the idea to bring it back... Test your Might was cool too.
    PLEASE MAKE CHEST KOMBAT GREAT AGAIN !!!!!!

    Finally, i would say MK 11 it´s not a BAD game, not beyond repair at least, but Netherealm must take notes and respect the fans that put the saga where it is.
    As a consumer I DEMAND more fighters, the CLASSIKS, they never get old, specially if your story mode it´s based in time travel... DUH!
    I DEMAND more MODES, chest Kombat, test your Luck (or as a call it roulette fight, thats the most fun vs mode EVER!), CHEST KOMBAT!!!! (i really loved Chest kombat)
    I would love to have the variety of move set from deadly alliance, 2 fighting styles + weapon, it was VERY AWESOME, specially the stabing bleeding mechanic

    I´m a huge fan of the series and I´m really afraid that these may be a breaking point, decisions must be made, or MK becomes just another pay4play, moneysucking, boring saga... or returns to it´s violent nasty origins that everyone loves.

    MK it´s about that, It´s fun, it´s violent, it´s messy, it´s gore and it´s caotic... Dont Let WARNER put their order, nobody likes that... NOBODY WANTS THAT.

    Warner Bros. have finally created their masterpiece. This game is insulting in almost every possible way.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been a fan of the series for years & while the gameplay is still good, they have been increasingly adding more & more micro-transactions. Enough with the micro-transactions & increasing the grind to earn things without paying additional cash, you blood-sucking vampires!

    I have seen a large change in other areas as well. NetherRealm is now including one-sided far-left political propaganda into the series, including jabs at a certain politician. I do not live in America, but even I can see how pathetic such a move is. Then the censorship. Since when has Mortal Kombat ever been about censoring things? The studio claims that it is to be more mature & protect women, but they seem hypocritical, given that the men are still scantly clad. Are men not worth protecting too? Finally, we have a racist ending, which out of nowhere changes a character with a personality established over decades & has him correcting what is most definitely a historic wrong, but he fixes it by committing genocide & forming an ethnostate based on race.

    Yes, the gameplay is still there, but you can find the same gameplay, but it is tainted by excessive microtransactions. I cannot support such a blatant display of one-sided political propaganda, hypocritical censorship, promotion of genocide & racism by a design team. Additionally, I have learned that the company has taken to copyright striking the on-line videos which criticise their game, which is truly an immoral thing to do. NetherRealm & Warner Bros. have lost their way & have turned what was once a fun series into their personal pulpit to preach their cult-like political religion. I will never purchase a product from Warner Bros. again.

    Developers made an awful decision by spitting on their main customer base, guys. Except the fact that the main boss is female, the story is this: females are heroic, clever, strong, fighting for the good cause while men are either evil or dumb or white knight or with a lack of personality.
