    PS4 **** don't have cheat engine :' ( sad!
    Instead of hating this game download Cheat Engine and fill up the ingame currencies to 999999999 and enjoy your skins. If there is a risk of getting banned just wait for it to be cracked and download it.
    it still is a 5/10 because of the microtransactions.
    But, the gameplay is 11/10 :D like every mortal kombat.

    MK11 has solid game play mechanics and it has a new pace which offers something different to previous games in the series.

It has a cutscene heavy story mode for the fans and lots of cinematic fatalities. Shame, if you want to see or use everything there is to offer from MK11, you have to put the hours in. A lot of hours. You have to grind for hours (days) to unlock the unlockables. This is when MK11 stops being fun and becomes a chore. It can force many gamers to their wallets. This problem can be a deal breaker for many. MK11, overall is a great game just ruined by the grinding problem, NetherRealm need to patch the game and rescue it. Or it is worth waiting, remember when we got MKX then we got MKXL with all the extras. Will there be a MK11XL of sorts with all the extras only time will tell.… Expand

    Its a really fun game. i understand why some are disappointed with the microtransactions but they are not as bad as in other games and do not make it less fun to play. and the many update possibilities will be very motivating for sure!

    Hi everyone. So, what's wrong with this game? In fact, the real problem is the full game online connexion, all about micro transactions, skins, kustomizable is FALSE. Yeah, the game needs you play it, more longer than a game which is finished in one or two days.

    A problem with fighting games is how do you make people who's not die hard online players also find enjoyment and continue to play the game. Since MK9, Netherrealm studios has included an amazing story mode and along with the iconic Krypt. MK11 has elevated both those areas to a whole new level. On top of that, the new tutorial mode is absolutely fantastic!

    would have gave a 8 but a 10 seems necessary, the game is amazing, top notch graphics, animation, gameplay and the best tutorial to date in a fighting game. Of course it's a grind but an easy one since update there is even a solid IA if you can't make it.

There is exactly ONE currency that you COULD buy for real money, but you would NEVER need to, because you can also get this currency in game for just playing the game. You also do NOT need this currency for ANYTHING other than FIVE random items you COULD buy which refresh like every 24 hours. ALL other currencys in the game are just INGAME currencies and in NO WAY do you need to pay real money for it at any point!!! This game has actually no actual microtransactions at all! And if you do not like to grind in a game for stuff like skins etc. that is one point. But Injustice 2 was the same and people did not downvote it to hell, why is that? It was exactly the same as MK11 is... the SAME! Expect that the TOWERS were too hard in MK11 to beat. Which is now fixed! But you teenage sh*tstorm haters come here and downvote an otherwise really really great game for made up reasons? Because you read some morons on twitter or reddit talking lies about how heavy this game is on microtransactions, even tho it is NOT?! PLAY the game on your own BEFORE you hop on the internet and zero rate something you have NO clue about but just want to be part of a hateful sh*tstorm because your teenage brain can not handle to think for itself yet... you are just a lemming of ignorant, misinformed, half knowledged people fueled with hatred.

There are no lootboxes in this game that u can buy with real money nor do the time crystals actually enhance gameplay or give an unfair advantage. The gameplay in this game is ''harder'' for some people, and i get that. Especially i you played mkx. Because it was really straight forward. Barelly any footsies, a **** ton on 50/50's and armor on a lot of a characters speciall moves. This game actually makes you think, should i use my crushing blow or not. Will he get-up attack or roll perhaps even delay wake-up. This game is more footsie based compared to mkx, sure this review is not the best. But i'm tired of people complaining about microtransactions since they don't have any effect on gameplay. + the grinding for skins is not bad, and if that grinding part bothers you, don't do towers of time :)… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yes, NRS made the mistake of making the game way too Grindy to start out. But they fixed it not even a week later. Loot boxes? Quite literally none, don't understand where everyone is getting that from. Time Krystals are easy to obtain and there is basically no need to purchase them. NRS will and always fix their mistakes like they always have. Gameplay is fairly balanced with a few exceptions (Geras fatal blows are ridiculous) Every character is fairly solid in their own right, and the character designs are gorgeous. A few skins may look bad here and there but there's always different options with more on the Way. The Roster is a great combination of new skool and old skool characters. Net code is outstanding and I haven't had an issue with Lag and I'd say the online is one of the best features. Story more is solid until the ending. I'm not a huge fan of the ending just resetting the timeline for the 2nd time with so much more to explore left in the dust. But hey, maybe the new timeline will be better. Looking forward to the DLC and I'm glad I preordered the ultimate edition. Great Game.… Expand

    Amazing game, the best MK so far. Unfair reviews. The only thing that i didn’t liked at all is the roster, there are a few wasted characters like Erron Black or Noob Saibot (story mode). Also there are characters that should’ve been here: Shang Tsung, Reiko, Rain, Fujin.

    I love this game, one of the best fighting games I've seen in years. I don't understand why there's so much hate towards it. Sure the amount of currencies in the game are a bit ridiculous (which is why I didn't rate this a 10) but one or two features shouldn't cause people to give it an automatic 0-2, especially when it doesn't even involve the core gameplay. Overall solid game and just good fun.

    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]
