    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.

New mechanics, like additional special meters and fatal blows add interesting options when brawling. Being able to customize and modify fighters also adds creativity and depth. it also boosts some of the best aesthetics for a fighting game I have seen this console generation. 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.
    If you don't have time to play more than one hour per day, this game isn't for you, it needs more playing time, if you want to

    If you don't have time to play more than one hour per day, this game isn't for you, it needs more playing time, if you want to unlock tons of things of course. Huge gameplay for a MK, don't listen to youtubers, reviews etc, if you can, just try it and decide if you have time to spend in the game or not

    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!

    So what? Perhaps NRS should have put versus and boring story modes in their game and that's it?!!

    Graphics and animations are absolutely fantastic, I have never seen some so realistic characters in a fighting game and the vocal exchanges between fighters are so excellent!...etc

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.

    The plot of the story isn't the greatest, but this is MK and it's never had a great narrative. The story is just an excuse to throw all the characters together in a bloody high stakes situation. It's fun and rewards you with plenty of cosmetic items.

    Now for the most important part, the gameplay. MK11 is the best MK has been. Gameplay feels smooth and rewarding. The variation system gives you a lot of choice when it comes to how you want to play.

    There is no way this game is a 3.2/10 (the current User Score)

    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.

This is a slower way to go about showing your fighting game to the world, and it shows it in pretty much everything it tries to do gameplay wise. Its a very love it or leave type of system, closer to how the Injustice games work then previous MK games. Its still good but long time fans might not like the dramatic changes being made to the formula.
    In terms of extras, NRS always goes out of its way to make their fighting games have as much content as there can be for a fighting game. Their story mode presentations are still second to none, even if the MK storyline has gotten bogged down in reboots and doesn't exactly work for me. The tower system from Injustice 2 is back and adds a huge grind mechanic to get the hundreds of costumes in the game that worked well enough for me to keep coming back and playing it for awhile. And with the game coming down to 20 dollars recently, I'd give it a recommendation to try it now, especially with the new expansion having been released this week as many people will be coming back to try out the new features.

    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.

Quality of animation can't keep up with other visuals. In-game economy feels disrespectful for players. And moves-loadout system looks like a mess now.

    *Decided to update my review after a year of playing. I've never played any fighting game for so long before! This game is gooood! I hate so much about it, but overall - it's a masterpiece!

    My review ignores the monetization strategies they're using which some people may not approve of, I'm reviewing the core game. Of which, this is not a mobile game like others seem to believe. it's only using micro-transactions; they're different things.

    Cons: I can't play the Krypt. It feels like whomever signed off on the Krypt has not made a game since the PSP era. The motion blur implemented is straight from the last century and makes me nauseous to the point I feel like throwing up and need to lie down and sleep it off. It last -ten- hours. Part of it was my fault for ignoring it but I didn't think it would be so bad since it's you know, 2020 and technology has advanced. Also the camera is so zoomed in on the fighter. Who cares about the fighter, let me enjoy the MK environment. Why is this random traveler such a main focus point of the Krypt. Why is it not the lore and atmosphere? Why does the camera change all the time to zoom in on the chest I'm opening? I don't care. All it makes me do is re-adjust my stupid camera after every chest. It's so tedious I don't even want to open chests anymore. That and force moving the camera disorients me because it causes more motion blur and makes me sick. This Krypt is possibly one of the worst things this entire generation.

    Sometimes I feel like the game is missing inputs from my controller when I use commands involving multiple buttons at once. Not just x and square but also things like diagonal jumping. Sometimes I only jump straight up into the air.

    This could be from me not being good enough or using the wrong character but I couldn't convert anything from ducking low attacks which made me feel useless punishing people who keep rolling at me.

    Of the online games I played none of them had a perfect connection and there was some modicum amount of lag involved despite me having a fast internet connection.

    The DLC characters are somewhat hit and miss with some of them being far less interesting compared to others. Spawn is rad though.

    Pros: Base story mode is great. It's akin to watching a movie. There's so much time between fights and time spent building out everything. It's easily one of the best story modes of any fighting game. The fighters in the story are all explained and have reason to be where they are.

    One of the greatest fighting game tutorials that goes into incredible depth. It goes above and beyond the basic intro on how to play this specific fighting game but also introduces high level fighting game strategies and tech.
    The amount of available frame data is fantastic and the hourglasses to display the timing for combos in the training is greatly appreciated.

    The roster selection is more than almost any other fighting game and although I had no connection to some fighters I felt others very easy to pickup and play.
    The combos are fairly simple to do once you get a hang of the timing the game is expecting and the special attack gauges this game employs are interesting since they separated the gauge to defense and offensive specific ones.

    The story for the game is well told and the mechanics are very solid. However the Towers of Time is some of the most frustrating grindwall activities I've ever done, I don't think I've seen a more clear example of a game reading and reacting to your inputs not your character. And that's not even considering the obnoxious modifiers they throw on.

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.

    Сам я игру предзаказал еще до начала этих скандалов. Ждал когда получу диск, а отзывы не радовали и даже уже корил себя за то что слишком поторопился. Получил игру, установил и где-то первые несколько часов прошел в обучении. Хочу сказать что эта часть МК самая близко расположенная к новичкам и к тем, кто вообще никак не связан с жанром файтингов (как я). В МК10 я так и не смог научиться играть и снес его, в МК11 нужно тоже тратить много времени на обучение, но однако это теперь стало гораздо доступнее и понятнее чем когда-либо прежде.
    Стоит похвалить графику - она очень хороша. Это не некс. ген. для серии, но прогресс по сравнению с предыдущей частью серьезный. Отдельно хочется похвалить лицевую анимацию персонажей. Сюжет в игре как всегда бред полный, но разработчики тем не менее очень настойчиво над ним стараются. Кстати, кат. сцены сделаны очень кинематографично - стоит отметить. Музыка незапоминающаяся совсем. Жаль что не добавили ту самую музыку которую все ждут, но похоже какие-то проблемы с авторскими правами очевидно.
    Крипта получилась классной. Очень большой прогресс в ее совершенстве. Практически отдельная игра.
    Кастомизация персонажей впечатляющая и общая прокачка каждого элемента.
    Ну а теперь главное - по поводу тех самых камней предкновения из-за которого такой низкий рейтинг.
    1) Девушки. Да, женские персонажи максимально одеты, а некоторые из них (например Кесси Кейдж) вообще полностью скрыты одеждой и даже нет ни одного вариант скина где хоть что-то было открыто. Примечательно что мужчины по-прежнему остаются полуголыми, но девушек теперь нельзя. Отвратное лицемерие.
    2) Микротранзакции. Есть, но нужно быть дебилом чтобы заряжать. Чтобы научиться играть в МК - нужно выбрать 1-2 персонажа для себя. Соответственно и скины с акссесуарами будут интересовать только для них. Покупать для всех остальных полный дебилизм.
    3) Гринды много да. И чтобы добраться до нужного скины, нужно надеяться на бога рандома и ждать ждать.
    4) Башни времени невменямы со своими модификаторами. Нужно проходить через такие мучения чтобы получить то что тебе не нужно.
    5) Феминизация и SJW отчасти повлияли на игру. Это даже отрицать не стоит. Таково время.

    Стоит ли покупать сейчас. Я бы посоветовал подождать максимального пакета и тогда купить.

    Lo que nos lleva a la cripta, un concepto bueno pero mal ejecutado. Sobre todo en el lanzamiento del juego, tras el parche se volvió mucho mas asequible el abril cofres.

    En general, nos encontramos con un buen juego de lucha, un tanto lastrado en su personalización y que ha sido muy criticado por sus microtransacciones, pese a que estas prácticamente no influyen en la obtención de equipo y otros elementos.

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

    The game itself is great, good controls and brilliant graphics. Not much to put a negative say on the technical, but you can not justify paying $60.00 for a game, and have tons of content hidden behind a Pay-to-Win and hours of grind to achieve.

    Extremely fun to play and engaging when committing to a character. I'm also a massive fan of the new characters they've introduced namely Kollector who's a kombo loving beast. In general this is the best
    This is by far and away the best Mortal Kombat across the series. Specifically in terms of gameplay, animation, kombo fluidity, character move-set variet and special move customisation.

    Extremely fun to play and engaging when committing to a character. I'm also a massive fan of the new characters they've introduced namely Kollector who's a kombo loving beast. In general this is the best feeling mortal kombat for me, was just a joy to **** your opponents up.

    The campaign has more weight, narrative drive and spectacle than MK:X. In general the main campaign is by far better than I was expecting. Still a Hollywood-esque experience but with enough plot points and variations on old tropes in the franchise to have kept me engaged until the end. Additionally, aside from exposing you to new characters which I found was surprisingly good at landing a new kombatant into my character pool. I fondly remember getting my hands on kotal kahn and destroying everyone because his move-set just... Sort of clicked.

    The classic game modes make a return in all their splendor and glory, and after beating my first tower with Kollector I realised the individual dialogues are nicely fleshed out and satisfying to beat the last (and reasonably tough) opponent guarding the ending. Now... Onto the bad...

    The microtransactions in this game are very greedy. The customisation for each character is more extensive than ever and as a result the game forces many awesome weapon and character skins behind (now patched to be more reasonable) a grind or a plethora of premium currencies to "augment" your favourite touches to an already impressively beautiful character design. This is just .. disappointing but the gameplay more than makes up for it. It's such a fun feeling game I can get through the grind to unlock the skins for my favourite kombatants as I master my mains. But lastly... And more insidiously are the konsumables.

    Now as I understand it, by winning in towers and other fun classic challenges in the konquer game mode, as well as leveling up, gets you consumables in the form of actual in game advantage. From healing potions to special moves from other fighters... This is added to milk players that are getting frustrated with the games difficulty. Now there's both wrong with needing a hand to improve but there has to be a better way than microtransaction based konsumables that a bad player would not be able to acquire easily otherwise (as mentioned previously you must beat towers to actually get those). They can completely trivialise the fight and is by far the most hollow aspect of the game. Add a system to promote practice, learning to chain kombos, that some kombos are better than others at certain ranges, to learn multiple characters and using special moves to greater effect than simply spamming. This game's combat is the best it's ever been! It's the most deep also! So why leave a way to cheese the game? You can even get a konsumable to just flat out skip a fight. There has to be a better way to promote not so good players from growing in skill... And not like this.

    Since people barrage this masterclass game with 0's and extremely low scores it's only fitting I give it an obscenely high score. The game as it stands is an 8/10 if not 9/10 but the konsumables, grinding for awesome customisation and more greed brings it down.

    Overall, best MK thus far. Thoroughly enjoying myself with this one.

    Bueno, tras probar durante un largo tiempo el juego, aquí voy a dejar mi reseña (aclaro que es una reseña al estilo de juego Offline y que la reseña no contiene Spoilers):

    Lo positivo:
    - Gameplay: Con un estilo de juego actualizado y pulido gracias a las mecánicas de Injustice 2, MK11 trae una jugabilidad mas estratégica a la hora del combate, teniendo que pensar bien cual sera tu próximo movimiento ya que los combates pueden llegar a dar la vuelta en un momento a otro.

    - Diseño Gráfico: Con el nuevo motor gráfico"Unreal Engine 4", el juego a tenido un lavado de cara muy bueno y alcanzando detalles muy realistas, algo muy bueno para la franquicia ya que esta siempre se a basado en lo realista que puede ser su gore. Ademas que hay que remarcar que el juego tiene un mejor diseño respecto a personajes comparado con MKX, aun siendo de la misma generación.

    -Tiempo de Juego: el juego ofrece mucho para desbloquear, y Completar toda la Kripta no es un trabajo fácil, y aun cuando ya ayas logrado comprar todos los cofres el juego se insista a restaurar el tiempo hacia atrás y volver a comprarlos para desbloquear mas cosas. Las torres de tiempo se llevan todas las palmas, ya que ofrece un contenido inmenso en trajes, equipamiento, dinero, etc. fácilmente si te gusto las "torres vivientes" de MKX, esto te fascinara.

    Lo Regular:
    - Historia: muchas expectativas creo la historia de MK11, pero se a quedado a medias. Siendo sincero, no es mala es hasta mejor que MKX, pero irónicamente MK9 con 8 años por delante realizo una mejor historia con respecto a la saga. mejora en sentido cinematográfico, pero la historia y la trama deja mucho que desear. este punto es subjetivo, ya que cada uno tiene su punto de vista respecto a la historia.

    -Traducción al Español Latino y Español España: Yo fui en su momento uno de los que defendió el doblaje en Internet, pero hoy en día admito que es pésimo. todos los actores que estuvieron en MKX lo hacen perfecto, pero personajes que por fin reciben traducción como Shao Kahn, Noob Saibot o Shang Tsung tienen una voz fatal, que no queda con los personajes. y ojo, que no todos los personajes del juego anterior a tenido su anteriores voces como Kung lao, Kitana y Kano. España sufrió algo peor, ya que el juego solo llego con subtitulo y audio en ingles, algo abusivo a mi opinión, ya que los últimos dos juego tuvieron una excelente traducción en ese país (Sobretodo en MK9 ya que latino américa no tuvo doblaje en ese juego).

    - Kronika: esto sera breve, Kronica no llego a lo deseado. El personaje no llega a sorprender de ninguna manera, su combate en el modo arcade deja podría haber sido mejor y su participación en la historia no es nada al lado de Shao Kahn en MK9 y se supone que ella es aun mas fuerte que este ultimo, teniendo el poder del tiempo.

    Lo malo:
    - DLC: aunque ya mencione que el juego tiene mucho contenido, el contenido DLC (O Contenido descargable) es abusivo. 6 personajes DLC, y 3 trajes por cada personaje es lo que ofrece el Kombat Pack, pero el precio es exagerado al cobrar 40 dolares por el Kombat Pack 1, quien sabe si van a sacar kombat pack 2 o 3, ademas que no parece que quieran regalar cosas como lo hicieron en MK9, Yo les recomiendo esperar un año y comprar la Edición Kompleta ya que si compran todo el contenido ahora terminaran pagando el triple.

    - Conexión obligatoria: Si no estas conectado a Internet o no tienes actualizado el juego, No podrás desbloquear nada, no ganaras dinero, no obtendrás XP (Puntos de Experiencia), aunque en este caso la conexión obligatoria no es tan malo como otros caso, no es divertido jugar y no ganar nada.

    Bueno, eso es todo lo que opino: sobra decir que no es un mal juego, me divertí mucho con el y aun me sigo divirtiendo con el, y queda en cada uno ver lo que le gusta o no del juego.

    I wrote a detailed review for this when it came out and see that magically that review no longer exists. I feel compelled to add a quick 1 star now as a final go to hell to NRS for ruining my favorite game series and then paying off review sites to remove valid critiques.

    I’ve been playing since MK1 in elementary school and this was the worst in their history by every metric.

    So how do I unlock these things in the krypt? Well, you need to do these towers of time that add these random and annoying modifiers to the fight to earn currency which you can use in the Krypt. Then you have 3 sorts of currency that you can spend in the krypt, where you open chests with random rewards. Does anyone think griding for resources and opening these chests to get that 1 kostume or brutality you really want? It could take ages! Does anyone actually think that is fun?

    Anyway, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth and detracts from an otherwise good fighting game.

Lo compré para darle una oportunidad, pero es sumamente tedioso. Terminé vendiendolo para comprar algo mejor. Realmente no vale si no te gusta jugar online, o si no tienes a alguien para compartir. Aún así, te aburririas. Me parece descarado esos DLC's y micropagos.... Que falta de respeto. No lo recomiendo.

    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.

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 .

    It still boggles my mind, how every person that write their opinion on the game and rank it in the lower score gets called "Far Right".. Just for stating their opinion? Fan or not, NRS are masters at crafting stories most of the time and this was a great story, but they fall short in all other aspects of the game in my opinion.

    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]
