If Mortal Kombat has proven one thing over its 27 year history, it’s that outrageous violence in video games is fun. Only this iconic fighting series displays such a gore fest from the creation and now nearly 3 decades later. Mortal Kombat 11 features an interesting story mode, plenty of characters and some new features that make an impact. Mortal Kombat 11 is all about the fans. The timeline as we know it is thrown into disarray by a villainous newcomer who wishes to restore the balance between realms by eliminating all events in Mortal Kombat's history. Rivalries and relationships we’ve come to know and love are all but in place, and in jeopardy of a downfall. By disrupting time the past and present to collide, with younger versions of characters being transported into the future from out of nowhere. There are so many great moments, and it’s a brilliantly creative premise, providing all the ingredients needed to thrust beloved characters into unexpected situations in time, capitalizing upon years of history to develop themselves further. Mortal Kombat never takes itself too seriously, and that's one of the enjoyments to it, is its solid story with extreme gore and fun. You can finish the story mode in five hours or so, despite its short length, I truly loved its twists and turns. Dramatic cut scenes transition into fights seamlessly, never taking you out of the action with a loading screen. I decided to dive in after the story to see everything Mortal Kombat 11 had on offer. Simply put? A lot... Familiar modes returning alongside a few new ideas that well to shake up the previous MKX formula. Klassic Towers are back, which are a classic arcade mode where you battle through a number of battles to earn individual endings that fully explain parts not fully explored in the main story. Towers of Time puts a clever spin on the chaotic mode with the new coming villain time-bending applying modifiers to each fight. This adds an extra layer of challenge to each tower, requiring you to lessen this effect with modifiers of your own earned within The Krypt mode as from past games. The Krypt has you stumbling upon Shang Tsung Island. The once prosperous landmass is now a dark, fiery environment filled with corpses and decaying architecture. Under all the doom and gloom, there’s also loads of treasure and unlockables to be found. Concept art, combat modifiers and unique cosmetics for each character are packed in each chest. These require coins to open, a currency earned by completing tasks down to the smallest combo to breaking jars in Mortal Kombat 11. You’ll find other modes of currency which are much harder to collect, leading me to grind them out on a few occasions to accomplish my goals. Because of this the Krypt soon became a regular hunt that I returned to, so I could hopefully open new un-lockables for my main game. It’s not a linear, with the island spanning in several directions. You’ll encounter puzzles alongside lore delivered by a movie theater trailer style narration. It’s excellent fun, and a welcome change of pace to the normal Kombat. Local and online multiplayer return in Mortal Kombat 11 with a few different modes to experiment with including building an AI battling team to challenge other AI teams similar to what you would find in a coaching simulation mode in a sports game. Boasting such a vast array of stages, characters, modifiers, and fatalities, along with the sheer amount of Kustomization, I see the fans rallying behind this latest entry as time goes on. We’re bound to see much added DLC to include an array of characters, modes, and customization over the coming years. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has a winner on their hands, now let's enjoy the evolution of it. It's gonna be a ride.… Expand

    Nobody actually sane will take seriously the haters on this site who are basing their notes on:
    "Females don't show boobs", "I can't unlock everything a week after the game launched" and "you gotta spend 6500$" which is fake since you can't actually buy everything on the premium store and the currency used on it can be earned ingame quickly.

    With MK11 already confirmed to have the best launch of the series, your review bombing campaign has already proved useless. Too bad trolls! :D

    Ok this game is getting way way way too much bad press from users. Having put many hours into the game and own it, i'm going to set the record straight. Here are the Pros & Cons.

Having put many hours into the game and own it, i'm going to set the record straight. Here are the Pros & Cons.

    Pros: visuals are great. Graphics are beautiful. Especially in 4k.
    Gamplay is great. The story is one of the best in MK series. Even the klassic towers impress. Staying to the tried and true formula ,while still adding in some new goodies. And if you get bored with that theres an AI mode which allows you to pit your creations against other opponents creations. A really cool and different take in the Mk series. Sound quality is also right up there with the pros. Now lets get to the cons.

    Cons: The Krypt. This is majority of peoples complaint and i can understand why. Because now theyve made all the krypt chest random. Which is just stupid. Now it doesnt matter which chest you open ,whether expensive or cheap, in the start area or end. Its all the same. Its plain stupid. Was much better when it mattered what chest you opened. FIX THIS! The next one is one i havent seen listed and am amazed more havent complained about it. The rate at which i am able to block is way way to slow. In a fast paced game like this,when i hit the block button i should immediately block. In MK11 there is at least a 1 second delay from button press to actually blocking. This is extremely too long for a game that it should be immediate. How am i supposed to compete against other players when i cant even block their attacks in time!!! Stupid! FIX THIS!! Luckily there arent many Cons, if i find more i will definitely add.

    In closing: This Mortal Kombat is easily one of the best in the series ,but held back by greatness because of some easily correctable issues. If they can correct the issues that are frustrating so many fans this will undoubtedly be the best MK. I will upgrade the score to a 9 when things are fixd.

    If you guys liked my review please check that yes box ,so we can make Netherrealm more aware of these issues.    … Expand

    First off, most of these low scores are so distasteful. Giving a low score because your favorite character is not in the game? I didn't get Rain in Mortal Kombat X and I still got over it.

There is no gear in this game that gives you an "edge" in the competition. It is all strictly cosmetic and does not affect gameplay. I don't understand people reasoning on giving the game a zero. Give it an honest score.

    Moving past all the BS that this game is getting because a certain character died and was no included, the game has a lot of strong points than weak ones. The story was amazing for a fighting game. It wasn't a masterpiece like Last of Us or the Mass Effect Trilogy, but it is fun to experience. The gameplay is by far top of the food chain, always experimenting with new things and they work. The roster is also one of the game's strong point. A lot of these reviews will say that the game is bad because it doesn't have "this character". Not every game is gonna be like MK9. There are new characters that have to make it on the roster and not every ninja will make the roster every time. It is just something we, the Mortal Kombat fans, just gotta get used to by now. It has been like this since Mortal Kombat 4.

    Other than those points, there are some weak ones to follow. The grind is real. What people are saying about the grind isn't false but Neatherrealm did address it. Also the towers are difficult even for seasoned players. It is like they took the multiverses from Injustice 2 and jacked them with steroids. I am making my way through them but boy is it a challenge. There is also The Krypt but I have grown to accept it the way it is. Most chest are random but there is a handful that are not.

    Overall, perfectly solid game with a few wrinkles that will be ironed out.    … Expand

    The most amazing Mortal Kombat storyline. I have not played the game but I have watched the cutscenes from the game. Kotal Kohn vs Shao Kahn was very spectacular. Ronda Rousey as Sonya Blade was very kickass. Kronika was fit for a villain like her. Timeline to Timeline was just so thriling.

MKX was great too, and improvement, but it still felt like it maybe lacked some content though for original fans. MK11 so far.. is hugely impressive. TheVery, very happy with this game.

The Krypt is fantastic, like a gameplay in itself, the towers of time are just like the similar universe things in Injustice 2, the customisation is brilliant.. I honestly feel like this is such a great and polished game.

    To clarify - the younger "reviewers" on here saying it is pay2win or mentioning microtransactions are just totally wrong. Everything in the game is obtainable for free, nothing exclusive for people who want to spend money. It's simply for people who have no patience or don't want to play the game to earn things. It offers the choice.

    As for this "SJW/Feminist" rubbish.. I am not sure this same younger "reviewer" faction understand what that means or what they are talking about. My guess is they saw some popular figure on Youtube say things similar and like most of the narrow minded - follow like sheep. Blind, uneducated, clueless words from youngsters that have no idea what they are talking about.

    Old, original, REAL fans of the franchise - you will not be disappointed.
    BRILLIANT addition to the series and enjoying it thoroughly.

    Common complaints people seem to have:
    "MICROTRANSACTIONS ARE BAD!!!" - Sure, yes they are...except EVERYTHING in this game is unlockable in-game, and only cosmetics are locked. No aspect of gameplay is blocked off.
    "KRYPT IS TOO GRINDY~~" - This is for longevity. My ONLY gripe with this is that the towers were way too difficult to reliably make money playing them, but that's being toned down. Furthermore, WHY WOULD YOU WANT EVERY SINGLE ITEM IN-GAME ANYWAYS?! People are making absolutely ABSURD calculations about what it would cost time-wise to grind everything out...have you considered /not/ grinding everything out? Especially considering that chances are, you're going to make a dozen or so total customizations and never touch the other costumes? It's ridiculous.
    People want to sit on their high-horse and complain about " ~~dishonest video-game journalists~~ " and their "inaccurate scores" or weighing things a certain way.......and yet they flood these review sites and fill them with straight 0's because of something they've been led to be outraged by, dismissing /any/ potential positives along the way.
    tl;dr if you're a fighting or MK fan, GET THIS GAME! It is amazing, and own't disappoint you. Ed Boon and the team at NRS did a SOLID job, and I really hope that this backlash from these whiny entitled baboons on reddit don't hinder their spirits too much.    … Expand

I absolutely agree that these are unacceptable, and must be changed, but thankfully they don't ruin the game since they are only really linked to cosmetic items. I don't think it's acceptable, but it doesn't justify saying this is a bad game. The second issue people have taken with this game is that somehow it's too political for them. The fighting game where you rip people's spines out. The developer can a story as they like, and I have no issue with it. One major bit has been the ending for Jax in the klassic towers, which people are considering "reverse racism". *Spoilers* If you beat the mode with Jax, he has the opportunity to rewrite history from scratch, and he undoes slavery. What's the problem with that? Is there a single person here who wouldn't just erase slavery if they could? Because if there is, I don't really care about their opinions on anything, much less a video game.… Expand

    Mortal Kombat 11 is a great successor to the series previous successors with a large cast of fan favorite characters and engaging game play. My review will be mainly based on the game itself, although all recent criticism the game has been receiving will be elaborated after I've given a fair review. To quickly detail the experience as someone who has spent a considerable amount of time playing the game already I can say that it's terrific in many ways, the game play is some of the best yet, the visuals and animations are incredibly realistic and the story telling is as good as you can expect from a MK game. The characters are great, with old and new fighters making an appearance, they all have good characterization, memorable designs and faces and a large variety of ways to play each character/ display the character how you want to. Admittedly the game is at it's worst when playing through the challenge tower as some fights can be painfully hard or just not fun to deal with and when these fights occur you usually have two options, allow the AI to fight for you or use a rare 'konsumable' instead. Overall the game is a great experience and probably one of the best fighting games to date, with a large amount of content and different ways to play/learn different characters it's genuinely a great experience. If you're on the fence about it, definitely give it a go because it's worth your time playing as both a fighting game fan or simply a casual gamer.

    Talk about the games criticism:
    The main criticisms of the game are the women, and the supposed 'SJW' influences. Personally I believe this does little to detract from the game play or the narrative of the game, truthfully it only means something if you let it mean something to you. The main argument people are using when talking about the female fighters is that they no longer dress or look similarly to how they did in previous installments, MK11 has women in armors and generally covered clothes which to many seems like a serious step down from the bikini babes that would fight in previous entries. Personally I don't understand the importance of the bikini fighters since it never meant anything to the narrative, maybe even the game apart from eye candy and sex appeal; as for the some of the changes to women in race of looks, it's simply to build upon characters, Kitana seems more realistic and visually memorable as a person instead of a fan wielder and even revamped people like Skarlet never really had any backstory until MK11, this meant that she could be created in many different ways, the nationality and character seems fitting of herself anyways.
    The talk about SJW game play is ridiculous at literally no point does the game do anything to alienate its audience unless you think Jax's ending is some sort of propaganda which it truly is not, Jax's ending isn't a problem for the most part, like I said before, there's truly no problem with it unless you're strictly looking for Jax's ending to be problematic. Another thing to note is a Shao Khan intro where he says "let's make outworld great again", clearly it's referencing the famous Donald Trump line yet I can't understand why people would find this so offensive in a game about brutalizing your opponent; I agree that politics has no place in any game, especially Mortal Kombat yet it still seems wrong to ridicule the game simply because there's a character intro with very little context or even basis to make a claim about. Also people are talking about the Micro-transaction action they implemented, listen unless you literally need everything the game has to offer you won't care. You can commonly find new items/visuals for your favorite characters and you don't need to pay or work tirelessly to get them, there's dedicated towers which gives users specific items for a character of their choice and it's barely even a chore to unlock them.
    Finally, after reading all of these reviews I'm seeing a large amount of people complain about Mileena not being in the game, I can understand their frustration, Mileena was my favourite MK10 character and sure, I wanted to see her in it too, but really? A large amount of these reviews claim that people won't even play the game because Mileena's not even in it which is just pettiness in it's saddest form.
    It's disappointing to see a great game such as this being boycotted for the worst reasons imaginable by the people who claim to be fans of the series but wont even try the game because of something they saw/read online.    … Expand

    The game is incredible and the towers of time seem to be fixed. The microtransactions aren't that big but the grinding on this game is HUGE on the towers. Even with that, graphics are great, sound and music are incredible and the gameplay is one of the best. Absolutely recommended

    The positive greatly outweighs the negative. The reviews I have read contain no indications not to purchase or wait for it to go on sale.

    The gameplay is still filled with the gruesome and gory violence that we’ve come to know and love, the extensive character customization is a welcome addition and the chance of pace is something this longtime fan appreciates. Mortal Kombat 11 is definitely something that any fighting game aficionado should add to their Kollection.

    In some ways there are only marginal and cosmetic differences from Mortal Kombat XL. That’s no bad thing, as fans of the series as well as fans of NetherRealm’s last fighter, Injustice 2, will be comfortable with the feel and mechanics, but those tweaks and enhancements, as well as the excellent story mode, mean that with MK11, Mortal Kombat has pretty much now been perfected.

    With a deep but logical fighting system, heaps of gruesome over-the-top violence and a lovably insane cinematic story mode, Mortal Kombat 11 is an excellent fighting game that should have something for just about every fan of the series, let down only somewhat by a greasy and convoluted customisation system driven by loot boxes and grinding.
