    The best mortal kombat in years. I cannot understand the bad reviews. Sure the microtransactions and the grinding are a little too much but the gameplay, story and graphics are amazing. It's gonna be a while until a fighting game this good is gonna be released. All hail Shao Khan!!!

    I can't play this anymore . I spent my money on this game and didn't get any satisfaction in the end . This game is one continuous fighting game in which the player acts as a punching bag .

This game is one continuous fighting game in which the player acts as a punching bag . If it wasn't for that **** fatal blow, this game would be perfect . It's all good - great graphics , fascinating story , but I think this is not enough to call this game good . In this game there is a completely idiotic control system . I've been playing this game for two months , but I still don't know how to use these **** special moves . I have seen many times the walkthrough of this game on YouTube, when people play this game and win almost every fight , making several special moves at once .Well , for me, these people have become almost gods , because they can normally play this game even on very difficult , and I do not . I feel like some kind of fool without hands . I've been playing this **** for two months . Today I decided to put an end . I can't play this anymore . This game is certainly good for those people who have already played in the last part of the series Mortal Kombat , but certainly not for a guy like me , who first played Mortal Kombat himself . Fatalities in this game of course colorful , but it's probably the only gameplay advantage that I can call . Many people will now say that I am a noob who can't play , but believe me, I tried to learn how to do it , but it did not work just because I can't perform special attacks faster than artificial intelligence . About online, I generally keep quiet , because I know that even trying is not worth it , because I will be surely smashed to smithereens . That's the reason I'm leaving this game .It's too complicated for me .
    I don't have any particular hatred for this game . The developers really tried , developing the mechanics of the game , but it seems to me that there is a matter of taste . Someone may have liked the control in this game , but I personally do not . It's complicated. Even more annoying is the fact that some of the characters in this game are stronger and some are weaker . This creates a certain imbalance of power . This makes the game unfair . And, of course, this idiotic fatal blow . Imagine a situation where you play on a very difficult and you , like your opponent is left with a bit of the health . Here your opponent of course uses the notorious fatal blow and demolishes the remaining health of you. That's it , fiasco ! After such a knockout in the first round , there is no desire to play on .
    I said it . Someone's not gonna like my opinion . However , I openly tell you that this is my subjective opinion and it does not try to hurt anyone . I just poured out to you all the accumulated emotions for two months of incredible suffering, when I just wanted to throw this game . Now this game is boring for me , because I went through the story , went through the classic towers (at least on normal difficulty.) . I can't do more than that . I apologize to all those who read my "review" to the very end . You really wasted the best moments of your life on me .    … Expand

    These review bombs need to stop. There no pleasing everyone EVER. This game is incredible. Mechanics, gameplay, story, graphics. All top notch. Sorry you don’t get to see butt cheeks and cleavage. Sorry they’re realistically designed and dressed. I’ve been around since long before MK even started. This IS the best MK of the series. Tops MK 3 ultimate.

If you're looking for a cool fighting game to play, here you go. The fatalities in this game are some of the best so far, and most have a comedic value to them when compared to older games. The microtransactions and towers of time, while not fun ruining, are horrid, but all they lock is customizations to make your character look cool, so it ain't really that bad. The story this time is really cool, but it is still a fighting game story so don't get your hopes up. The Krypt is really cool, but since it is like it's own game, it is kind of bogged down by the immense amount of grinding and exploration needed to unlock most of it. Overall, the game is a really competent fighter with some light customization elements, but bogged down with some unwise customization choices and just having micro-transactions as a choice. While they aren't necessary, they are there. Honestly, it is a good game, but it's choices for some things will turn people away. Get it if you want a good, gory fighting game, but if you're not into the fighting genre, or are not ready to sink a few hours into the story or spend several hours exploring the Krypt, this ain't the game for you.… Expand

The story is kind of weak and a lot of the lore is undone or made irrelevant because of it. Many characters no longer feel like them selves but instead caricatures of of their former selves. The customizable characters feel limited, there is less focus on special moves and traditional combos but above all it feels so slow compared to previous titles. The fast paced gameplay is why I like MK and not other fighting game titles. Also the micro transactions are horrible and everywhere.

    Mortal Kombat has always been one of my favorite franchises with MK Deadly Alliance and Deception being my go to games growing up in the early 2000's.

    Netherealm studios have proven they can make a great product with MK9 and Injustice 2 coming to mind, however MK10 proved the series was taking a slight downfall with them promising to make us the fans proud of the next installment by taking their lessons learned with Injustice 2 and improving upon the systems of that game.
    Ultimately though MK11 is a shallow shell of a fighting game with very little redeeming features. I wont go into spoilers but the story mode of this game feels more like overblown fan service rather than a MK Plot, I understand this series has ridiculous stuff in it for example MK4 as a whole although MK11 tries it's best to tie up the loose ends of the reboot series but... not once did I feel any emotion whilst playing and once the credits rolled I just shrugged and went back to getting my Platinum trophy for Sekiro.
    Another thing that has annoyed both me and the community is the inclusion of an extremely punishing "end game" which has random modifier towers that on launch were almost borderline impossible to complete, combine that with the Microtransactions and the terrible progression system and Netherealm created a recipe for disaster.
    Although one thing I can compliment this game for is the combat itself is fantastic for both newer players and series veterans like me, all the characters and their respective combos are unique and bursting with personality (even if Kotal Khan and D'Vorah are still absolute trash).
    Overall though this game was not the send off that we wanted and I would like to see a potential remake of the 3D Era as those games had some interesting stories.    … Expand

Mortal Kombat 11 bir dövüş oyunun şimdiye kadar gelebilecek en ileri seviyesine ulaşmış bir oyun olmuş. 150 saatlik bir deneyimin sonunda rahatlıkla söyleyebileceğim tek bir şey var ; Şimdiye kadar yapılmış en iyi dövüş oyunudur bu.

    Hikayesini oynarken aşırı keyif aldım. Her ne kadar interaktif karakter seçimleri sunulsa da olayların akıbetini çok fazla değiştirmiyor bu seçenekleriniz. Günümüz ile geçmişi birleştirerek hikayeye yeni soluk getirme düşüncesini başarılı bir şekilde gerçekleştirmişler. Geçmişteki oyunlara da fazlasıyla gönderme yapılmış.

    Karakter tasarımları, grafik motoru, yüz animasyonları, karakter modellemeleri genellikle Netherrealm Studio'nun başını ağrıtan unsurlardan birkaçıydı son oyunlarda. Fakat bu göze batan sorunları Mortal Kombat 11 da başarıyla gidermişler. Grafik moturu geliştirildi, karakter tasarımları ve animasyonlar o kadar başarılı ki karakterin yansıtılan duyguları çok rahatlıkla oyuncuya verilebiliyor. Özellikle hikaye oynarken bunlara şahit oluyorsunuz.

    Oyunun en önemli unsurlardan birisi dövüş mekanikleri. Mortal Kombat X 'da özellikle rakip üzerine doğru koşup inanılmaz bir baskı kurduğunuz ve sürekli şaşırtmalardan ibaret olan bu kısıtlı strateji çok şükür ki değiştirilmiş. Mortal Kombat 11 dövüş konusunda daha dengeli olmuş önceki oyunları göre. Üstelik fazlasıyla strateji yapabiliyorsunuz.

    Gerek mekanikleri olsun gerek müzikleri, Mortal Kombat ın eski ruhu yakalamak için elinden geleni yapmış NRS.

    Kullanıcı skorları büyük bir fiyasko ile düşüşe geçmiş. Herkes Mikroödemelerin olduğundan bahsetmiş ve bütün kostümleri bu şekilde açılabilineceğinden bahsetmiş. Böyle bir mevzu yok. Oyunda bütün herşeyi kendiniz , emek vererek ulaşıyorsunuz. Towers of time da sürekli değişen karakter kuleleri ile karakterlerdeki eksik gearları brutalityleri kıyafetleri end of the round tauntları tamamlayarak kolay bir şekilde açabiliyorsunuz. Keşke bunları demeden önce oturup biraz araştırma yapsalarmış.    … 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]
