    Best looking fighting game of all time. Only issue with it is the gameplay is nowhere as fun as MKX or Injustice 2. Its too slow honestly. And the whole hook on Noob Saibot instead of the body slam was soo lame.

Number 1, the game been slow it's not an issues for me, since i think it makes punches and attacks have more like power and it looks really cool imo. But gameplay wise what i don't really like about htis game is the stupid krushing blows, it gets really anoying when the only ways to make great combos is either by spending meters or by using the KB and i hate that, since even in the 3D era it was very easy to do very cool combos. Also the krypt is so broken, and so annoying. They idea is cool but that i can only use it with internet and that is all random, looses the point of the krypt in the old games. And JC the story is so bad, so full of character assassinations and not in a MK way. They literally got every MK character and just makes them worse. This is not a bad game, it's just that it isn't the kind of game you'll like to came back to replay when MK game comes out. The soundtrack is actually good and i really enjoy the customization of the characters. And also the graphics looks amazing. Lets hope the next MK game makes some real improvement and actually create a fun game for the ages like MKX or Deception Expand

    No fan service, no combos, as a female gamer I did not like the girls in mk11 at all. Not one revealing outfit which I found absurd and very out of place from Mortal Kombat. Like I said gameplay is very bad, very very bad. Krystals and unoriginal gear are a hustle. The only good thing is the graphics but cmon

    Considering the existence of MK X - MK 11 is a step back in mortal kombat series. Gameplay is slow, combos are also slow and not such interesting as in MK X.

They made all female characters as ugly as possible and gave them worst possible outfits of any fighting game. They don't even look like same characters anymore. I hope they explain in next game that MK11 Kitana was just from another Universe and now classic REAL Kitana is back. Because if they don't, i wont even care if they make MK12. MK11 was literally insulting video game. Only character that looked good was Noob Saibot, only character. That's not enough and ruining legacy characters is not good way to sell your game either. Why was Kitana Asian, serious question. Why? She has ALWAYS been white. Always. in every game ever, she was white and in movie she was also white woman. Why or even how, would you randomly change her race? It makes no sense. Absolutely no sense. And all the costumes were trash as well. MK9 remains as last and also one of the best MK games ever, MKX was fine, but didn't have best roster and sadly MK11 ruined it all. I rather play any 2002-2006 era MK game than 11. These games were way better, had way better looking characters and actually good costumes. Also why would they ruin Skarlet like that? She was my favorite new female character in MK9 and in MK11 she looks NOTHING like in that one. She looks like completely different person. It's not enough that you say "-this is Skarlet". No. She needs to look like one as well. It's like making sub-zero Pink and saying "well this is sub zero now", Doesn't work like that. Not even sure they can fix any of this in MK12. Would they just go back to old looks from MK9 and say that MK11 was mistake? Would they make Kitana White again? pretty sure they wont, so sadly i'm confident MK is over. Thankfully i can still enjoy all the old ones that were actually phenomenal. Expand

    Ok game specially for spending time with friends.

    But:
    - The story is childish and plain
    - The final Boss in the story is insanely difficult to bit
    - Some main characters that many people like (like scorpion) are just weak! In general there is a strength/weakness imbalance between characters.

    Que design de personagens bosta, parece que estão criando uma lei pros jogos: não faça personagens bonitas. Olha o 9, os personagens machos são incríveis, e as femininas, bonitas. No 11 cagaram total com o design os personagens, estão com cara de bolacha, ridículo.

    Got the game at a huge discount, but this was one of the worst in the series. The skins are nothing more than the same three or four outfits with slight color variations and keep in mind there are almost 30+ per fighter. The game is a grind and the krypt has gotten worse.

    MK11 is a damn solid fighter.

    The gear system sucks and is just another way for NRS to keep you playing their game. I couldn't give a s*** about gear and have next to no interest in ever looking into.
    I want a fighting game, not a collectable game, isn't that what Pokemon is?
    Lastly, the female characters, c'mon, lets see a bit of flesh, some TnA, its not that big of a deal. You 'yanks love your gore, but when there's the slightest hint of **** you get all self righteous about it.
    No one cares, its not objectifying women, its an anatomy lesson, kinda like the fatalities no?

    I still remember when I played the first one in the arcade, and them the others on PS1, 2 and 3.
    Those games had Personality.
    But with this entry, the series lost all its appeal to me.
    Same old story, boring new characters, crappy game mechanics (the worst is when you jump, most of the time the AI reads your imput and walk towards you, and crossups don't work).
    Final story boss is completely wrong (no recovery, all she does is teleporting and spamming).
    About the design, female characters were almost asexualized (no more curves, makeup, all covered in body armors, Sheva looks like a guy), while males kept their stud shapes.
    MK was always an exaggerated game in ALL terms, but now they completely lost it. Another deological/mainstream art direction which is keeping games plain.
    Just look at the unlockable cosmetics section, they ALL LOOK THE SAME. Armors, armors, and even more armors. No more iconic clothing, again, for the female characters. Sonya, Cassie, Briggs...they all look the same. And Frost became just another cyborg ninja.
    Speaking of unlockables, the game inherited the worst of the videogame industry. Loot boxes, in-game currency (extremely hard to farm), microtransaction and loads of equipment which (again) all look the same.
    Injustice 2 was 1000x times better than this.
    MK died for me today.

    The character selection was great, although I do wish they added goro as a dlc option.
    I don't really care much about things like the krypt as it's really got nothing to do with a fighting game, although I did complete a fair bit of that too. My main reason for getting a fighting game is the fighting however, and to me this is without a doubt the best 3d mortal kombat, and one of the best 3d fighters overall.

The grinfor skins was a little bit too much, but they toned it fown real quick. You can get ton of coins and skins simply for just playing the game. It gives you the reason to go on. But the cosmetics in the game are kind of dissapointing i would have appreciated more of classic skins or more originals designs, rather than just simple reskins. But it hives you that sence of personalization and it's fool. But for the reasons mentioned above, it is flawed. The microtransactions are not even THAT excessive, you can even earn thosetime crystals to get the skins you want, but almost all of them are unlockable for free.

    So the game has cosmetics problem, but it still is a hell of a game. Don't listen to little crybabies who rate the game 0 out of 10 while using irrelevant words, trying to somehow justify their arguments, while all they are doing, is complaining to themselves. Just buy the game. It's f*cking amazing

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La verdad me pareció un juego EXELENTE siguiendo la historia de Mortal Kombat X introduciendo versiones viejas de los anteriores personajes como Jade, Shao Khan y otros, la historia esta medio buena pero almenos a mi no me llego a atraer del todo y es una película literalmente pero peli de las buenas, los modelos de los personajes me parecen INCREIBLES TANTO SKINS DESBLOQUEABLES A LAS DE LA HISTORIA como Liu Kang Dios del Fuego que me encanta o la de Zub-Zero Samurai, el modo kryta me parece nedio pesado y aveces complicado el online esta muy bueno y sobre todo por el croosplat es muy bueno que lo implementará, los gráficos me parecen muy buenos y la verdad una de las cosas que más disfrute fue el doblaje al español latino, aveces se descordinaba y perdías el toque del momento pero en general el doblaje es MUY BUENOO un gran trabajo y junto a todo esto e jugado juegos mejores y aun así no me aguante y le tuve que sacar el platino, el juego en general es bueno pero tiene un montón de cosas malas o más resaltables que otras cosas pero pero almenos a mi no fue suficiente para no darme horas de diversión y atracción incluso el deseo de conseguir el platino y al final lo termine consiguiendo, En general tiene ese 8 muy merecido pero almenos hasta que pruebe otra versión como la ultimate en ps4 o Ps5 no calificare alguna de las 2 pero almenos a mi esta versión me dejo satisfecho a medias pero bueno habrá que ver como dije si juego la versión ultimate en ps4 o ps5 y le haré un reseña Ps ID: DiegoWolf29 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]
