    This game is a complete **** waste of money
    online spammers are **** annoying and the day 1 bugs still in the game after 2 weeks krypt grind is real
    yeah it's right that skins don't affect the actual gameplay but, characters with no skins are so **** ugly especially grand-bastard sub-zero
    and on top of that the end is predictable this means that you don't need to buy the game to know the end

    Writing this review makes me sad because I love the Mortal Kombat series. Sure it has a good fighting system but it's not Mortal Kombat, at least not for me. That's the only positive thing I have to say unfortunately. The story is kind of weak and a lot of the lore is undone or made irrelevant because of it.

Sure it has a good fighting system but it's not Mortal Kombat, at least not for me. That's the only positive thing I have to say unfortunately. 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. It is not worth 60$ so save your money and wait for a sale.… Expand

    This game is komplete krap. First of all, the game has a requirement where you must be online at all times to play the game. Meaning one day the servers will be taken down and re-purposed for another game, which leaves you with a disk that is komplete krap (not that the game in it's functioning form isn't, but I digress). I can't even imagine buying a game and then knowing (

Я ничего не говорю про боевку, единственное что могу отметить, что убрали всеми любимый x-ray, заменив его на так называемый "fatal blows" ,но уже моя личная придирка.

    What an atrocity. A horrible and meager starting roster of characters, all of whom seem unfinished in each of their 3 iterations. The combat is slow and clunky and for less responsive than it was in the previous 2 installments of mortal kombat. The story mode, which boasted an 8 hour play time only lasts 2 hours. Throw pay to play micro transactions into the mix, and you have MK11

Yes the graphics are amazing, the 4K HDR is stunning, and yes the character designs are flawless but the core of the game which is GAMEPLAY is not what it use to be. Let us just say that Micro Transaction is what ruined the game and also the fact the grinding in this game is insane. You start with characters with missing moves and costumes and in order unlock them it can take months and months. The game seems unfinished when we look at it this way. The Krypt isn't the best either, the costumes and moves are randomized so you cannot even unlock them while checking any walkthroughs. YOU CAN however buy the Krypt. Most gamers now a days are 30+ and they do not have time to play this game for hours and hours to unlock moves and skins. They have to pay for it. NOT good. All this was implimented in Injustice 2 as well but it wasn't as bad as this.

    Yes the over all gameplay is decent and fun and fatalities and brutalities are very gory but still, I was disappointed. Also DLC is stretched beyond measures. Releasing all the characters in 1 year span time which is another reason to dislike this game. I hope the devs next game isn't anything close to this.    … Expand

Наискучнейшая система развития, впечатляющая история, в которой абсолютно отпадает желание играть, потому что сражения только мешают катсценам, а не дополняют их. Путешествие по Krypt, при всём фансервисе, окончательно потерял в антураже, не став ни подобием сюжетной компании Deception, ни отдельным подвидом жанровой принадлежности квестов, привратившийся в бесконечный гринд рандомного шмота. Красота локаций тесно переплетается со слизанным, до жути, у самих себя же мувсетом бойцов, где фаталити коллекционера идентично добиванию Милены в MKX.    … Expand

    Now, I've never been a huge fan of mk to begin with but after mk9 and mkxl pleasantly surprised me with their creative gore, despite being the only game i can spam to win i decided to try this game out, to say i was disappointed is an understatement.

    I thought games should, idunno, get better with each passing entry but this game is a perfect example of how Netherrealm no longer cares about their game's presentation or their story's continuity as they practically admitted that contuity or story dont mean **** to them and the chatacter designs are absolute crap, i thought that the whole controversy about the female characters was just a stupid thing said by fedora wearing neckbeards but holly **** was i wrong, to try and calm down the backlash they tried to tell the public that their game about lightning gods time, traveling baldies, kicking a skeleton out of a persons body, Johnny cage ninja mime and president Shao Trump is a more serious game.... Yeah right.... They're just trying to appeal to feminists in attempts to gain media awareness because they **** up the designs worse than marvel vs capcom infinite did.
    The gameplay, if you can call it that, consists of hitting your controller on the arm rest of your couch untill you're finished reading your book that you've been meaning to read but never had the time to do. They replaced the unique XRay concepts for a bleak Fatal blow that you can only use at low hp. If you're looking for good game mechanics go buy tekken 7 or Guilty Gear cuz mk11 is **** you can win any match by spamming down x triangle but if thats too hard you can always press every button on the controller untill you inevitably win. To add fuel to the fire they added more micro transactions to the game and removed normal costumes, instead opting for the ****ty injustice 2 method of cosmetics instead of designing fun costumes or giving characters appealing character designs, they're trying to make a live service fighting game wich if you're not insane youll know that the words live service never go well with anything entertainment related. To sum this all up, you still fencepunch, animations look like **** cassie cage's face model looks exactly like sonya blade"s, characters look likthey fell on their head when they were born, they kill off scorpion, they barely use the interesting characters in the story, kronika looks like absolute **** Netherrealm is trying to be ea and don't waste your money on this game, go buy a good fighting game or wait for doom eternal.    … Expand

    The mechanics of this game are really dumbed down compared to the last two titles. The game is more about cinematic gore and easy 2 hit 30% damage combos (crushing blows) that most button smashers could pull off easily with a little practice. They took all the 50/50 start ups out (besides like 2 characters) and it's a lame poke and footsie war without run.

Every character has the same wake up attacks but they're crushing blows are completely unbalanced. They made a great game you could play with your 5 yr old. After teaching them a couple crushing blows, they might even beat you a round or two. And don't worry about your child seeing any **** and ass in this game because they left all the sexiness completely out and added a bunch of leftist politics and burqas.

    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]
