    I have the Switch Lite, so I can't attest to how it looks on a big screen, but I'm surprised it runs like it does on Switch. It's definitely a noticable visual downgrade and the frame rate dips and drops a lot. It definitely does its best to maintain that 60 FPS.

    Overlooking the hardware limitations, the story is forgettable with bad voice acting and is typical Mortal Kombat fare.

    Controls are good, but difficult to pull off on the Switch Lite's tiny d-pad and buttons. Though you can basically combo mash the opponents into submission.

    One of my biggest complaints comes from the way they decide to tell the tale; no QTEs to keep you on your toes during the LONG cutscenes.

    Fairly decent fighter that rewards the skilled though with some noticeable graphic hiccups. The reason for the average rating is because I've seen much better ports on Switch (think Doom Eternal) and I know a better job could have been done.    … Expand

    Its almost a miracle this game plays at 60fps on a handheld from 2017. The resolution is pretty low but it runs smoothly and the extra dlc characters are great.

    I used to live this series. It really went to hell. Who wants a fighting game that has microtransactions.

    Also, who wants a fighting game by a bunch of woke scolds? Remember how much fun games were before work morons ruined them all? :(

    Stay away.

    Fun, deep and full of content, Mortal Kombat 11 is a complete fighting package. However, little performance and aesthetic problems, as well as the reliance on an internet connection to play single player content, prevent the game from achieving its true potential on Switch.
