    I say the same as the other guy:

    I just wanted one thing: Ermac to be in the game.
    He's not in, so the game isn't delivering imo.
    Also,all the microtransactions **** and the always online and rng based krypt is just....ugh...MK9 and XL were alot better.

    Only 25 characters in a 2019 MK game, without old school classics like Reptile, Mileena, Ermac, Rain, Cyborgs, Smoke or even some characters from MK4, Deception or Armageddon, and a possible list with DLC ones like Spawn and Joker, Terminator and Ash who are irrelevant to the MK universe while Injustice 2 is older and had more characters???? The worst roster of entire MK series. It's a shame

    No need to beat a dead horse. Disgusted with the games play, that really isn't that fun in the first place, but then to add the gamer unfriendly grind wall just to greedily squeeze every cent the developer can makes this unplayable.

    No thanks. I hope the extra funds are worth the trust and support of their fan base.

    Yes this game messed up the crypt. The amount of coins you need for a chest is way too much but that doesn't mean this is a bad game. Ed Boon has already said this will be nerfed in the near future. The negative scores are just the typical negativity of the internet, if there's one bad thing about a game everybody wants to review bomb it. Maybe it makes them feel empowered? Idk

    Point is this is not a bad game. It's actually really good. MK has the best universe in fighting games and this game holds up with that reputation with a fantastic and lengthy story mode. The classic arcade towers are back as well. The other towers can be really difficult at later levels but when you're at level 150+ on the tower what do you expect?

    If you like mortal kombat, buy this game. Even if you liked MK back in the day but skipped the last entry (i skipped 10) you'll still really enjoy this game.    … Expand

    The feminist agenda in this game is disgusting. You can cut a woman in half or split her head in two but she better not be showing her bare stomach! It's a shame this social justice warrior nonsense is infecting all of our beloved games.

    Its a f*cking mobile game for 60 bucks!

    Graphics are totally outdated. MKX looks much better than this thing. Also the color scheme its too dark.
    Sound is terrible, Most soundtrack sounds like a superhero thing. MK its not that.
    Fatal Blow are beyond ridiculous. You could get your head stabbed three times and still keep fighting.
    I could keep going, but im already tired of this thing.

    Mortal Kombat 11 is better than Mortal Kombat X in every way. Graphically, the blood and texture work is incredible. You'd be hard pressed to find any other fighter on the market able to rival this game graphically. Not only that, the art direction fits the tone of the game perfectly.

Graphically, the blood and texture work is incredible. You'd be hard pressed to find any other fighter on the market able to rival this game graphically. Not only that, the art direction fits the tone of the game perfectly.

    Gone are the days of sprite looking fighters in the original trilogy or the disproportionate and fake looking edgy fighters of the 3D era, the fighters in MK 11 look amazingly lifelike. All with perfect depiction of skin, hair and facial animations during Kombat while all being rendered at the lighting fast 60fps. During our time spent with the game, we never encountered any slowdown or drop in framerate. The games performance is a true testament to the technical minds behind the game and the incredible work they've done to bring it to life.

    Newcomers and Veteran Kombatants will love the tutorial mode in this game. It is by far the most robust and thorough fighting game tutorials we have ever seen. Every character is explained and the game does an excellent job of coaching you to become an even better fighter. You're able to learn from the basics (for beginner Kombatants) and even learn how to pull of incredible strings of combos (more advanced Kombatants) by simply playing through and learning during these tutorials. The game even contains the framedata and teaches you how to interpret it and even how to use it to increase your skill and take on others online or in local couch player versus.

    Gameplay wise, this is a thinking mans game. If you felt MK X was a masterpiece in fighting strategy, this game rewrites all the rules and forces you to put on your thinking cap and strategise like a Mortal Kombat game of chess in every battle.

    Including new features like Fatal Blows (powerful moves able to help you turn the table on your opponent, much like V Triggers in the Street Fighter franchise) can only be used just once in any given fight.

    The game features 25 characters (including the preorder bonus character) and one unlockable that you encounter during the story mode.

    This game is bursting at the seams with content. It is also quite lenient in dishing out Kombat Koins (that you can use in the krypt) to buy character skins and other unlockables. In our experience, most boxes that cost more than 12 000 koins contain at least 1 player skin. As a nod to fans commitment to MK 11, NetherRealm Studios, the developers of the game, have already stated that they will continue to support the game for a very long time. They have promised to add new skins and other unlockables for players to enjoy in the months and years ahead.

    In our three days with the game, we amassed over 1 Million Koins doing the Tower Of Time towers. With this said, some of the towers were very difficult. This has been brought to the developers attention and they have assured us and the fighting game community that a patch is being developed to address the difficulty. A server patch has already been implemented into the game and some of those difficult Towers seem a tad easier already.

    Overall, we love this game. It improves in every aspect over MK X. Again, the graphics are incredible, the gameplay is undoubtedly MK but feels fresh and new. A great roster of old and new characters, the biggest roster of fighting arenas in the Mortal Kombat franchise. This is certainly a fighting game worthy of being in the running for GOTY 2019.

    We award Mortal Kombat 11 a 9/10.    … Expand

То есть авторы решили удивить мир красивой картинкой, напрочь забыв о содержании. Но всё это меркнет перед тем моментом когда ты действительно начинаешь играть в неё не ради первичного впечатления, а ради самой игры. И начинаешь сталкиваться с действительностью, с которой критики судя по всему никого дела не имели, пропрыгав на легкой сложности весь сюжет и проделав пару эффектных фаталити.
    1. Если ты проф.файтер, то сразу отметишь убогие эксперименты с управлением, которое теперь перестало подчиняться здравому смыслу. Разработчики сделали что-то, чтобы уйти от привычной схемы в МК10, но улучшить её не удосужились. Теперь ты вынужден страдать от неудобнейшего управления, и что весело - изменить его по сути не можешь.
    Управляемость персонажем превратилась в попытку кирпича лавировать на ветру. Они настолько дубовые, насколько это вообще возможно. Если ты не какой-нибудь Ниндзякилла или СоникФокс, то начинаешь ломать пальцы дабы выполнить простейшие комбо, а еще проще нажимать таки всё подряд - всё равно в игре буферится не то, что нужно, а многие очевидные приемы попросту перестают комбиться. Особенно "порадовал" легкий удар рукой в воздухе, который в 90% случаев попросту не попадает по оппоненту, хотят летит прямо ему в голову.
    Кроме того добавлены какие-то извороты, увороты, парирования и вейкап-удары в просто-таки неприличных количествах. Теперь тебе кроме слежения за правильностью комбо-ударов приходится следить за буферизацией случайных вейкапов, которые тебе попросту нафиг не нужны. В итоге бой превращается в набор ситуаций "ты ударил - он упал, он ударил - ты упал." и игру в FIFAXX.
    2. Если ты просто игрок, то охренеешь от огромного набора всего и вся для кастомизации персонажей. Поначалу. Потом ты охренеешь от:
    - Необходимости всё это искать или покупать. А в начале тебе доступно всего ничего.
    - Бесполезности этой кастомизации.
    На донатах здесь основано всё, что только можно. Такое ощущение, что игру слили нам еще сырой, и половину доступных возможностей еще до твоей покупки разработчики будут создавать, так сказать, в процессе. Не отходя от кассы.    … 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]
