    This game is AMAZING. Don't listen to the BS bad reviews people are giving this game. They simply review bombed it because of one small thing they don't like. Mileena isn't in here? WHO CARES. Don't listen to these reviews.

    What a bunch of crybabies. The character they like best isn't in the game, so they're going to throw a temper tantrum and hope it gets them what they want. I know six year olds with more self respect.

    From a combat system that's as polished and exciting as it gets to various game modes that offer something for every kind of player, this will be a game that others will mimic and learn from for years to come.

    Very, very happy with this game. As an old fan from the very beginning of the franchise, seeing past the dark days of Deception.. Deadly Alliance.. Armageddon - It was great and refreshing to play MK9, feeling like the old game again. 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.

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. 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.

    Game is hands down the one of the greatest MK games ever, rivaled only by the original 2D games as they hold up in memory.
    The story is great, the characters are all so well fleshed out with amazing designs [the best designs of any MK to date imo], and it's just very fun to play.

    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

    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

    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.

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

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

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.

    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

    En este MK me gusto mucho su sistema de combate, por ejemplo la opción de seleccionar diferentes habilidades para los combos y elegir los que mejor se adapten a tu estilo de pelea, otra es que quitaron los x-ray por los fatal blows solo se pueden activar 1 ves por pelea y solo cuando estés el 30% de vida.

La campaña esta bien me entretuvo por un día, pero esta bien, este juego lo compre para jugar con amigos. Lo ultimo y lo mas controversial son las microtransacciones, aclaro que compre el juego 1 mes después de que salio y se que arreglaron mucha caca, pero ahora en este momento no he usado nada de dinero y ya tengo mis personajes bien personalizados como los quiero tener, solo tengo 25 hrs de juego y tengo por lo menos un 40% de las cosas cosméticas y abrí ya todos los cofres, tanto de dinero, como de almas y corazones y ese es otro punto malo porque aun así me faltan cosas por desbloquear y te obligan a gastarte dinero para regenerar cofres y puedas seguir abriendo. Yo lo recomiendo si vas a pasar muchas horas jugando o si solo es para jugar con amigos, como yo al principio, pero me encanto y lo sigo jugando.

    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.

    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.

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

Pero como siempre los micropagos son el "pero" que viene a bajarle un poco la nota. No voy a ser un extremesita como muchos y reconocera el gran trabajo que hicieron en lo importante.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who grew up with the Mortal Kombat franchise and was blown away by Mortal Kombat X, I was extremely excited for Mortal Kombat 11. Unfortunately, this game was slightly disappointing, and easily the weakest of the reboot trilogy (MK9, MKX, MK11). There are some things that are great in this game, such as the graphics and some of the character designs and interactions. However, some of those designs are truly awful, such as Cassie Cage's and Shao Kahn's. Easily the weakest element of this game is the base story, being only 12 chapters long instead of the usual 15-20 and having a story that somewhat shows that the writers have run out of ideas, in the process completely retconning the story they've been establishing and erasing everything. I have yet to purchase the second story named Aftermath, but I can assume its not much better. However, the multiplayer is very well handled and the tournaments you can have publically and privately are very fun. Overall, this a very mixed bag of a game, but if you're looking for a fighting game with good graphics to pick up and play every now and again, I'd definitely recommend it for you. However, my biggest complaint is: HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE ERMAC IN THE GAME?!… Expand

    The new MK is dissapointing. What was previously a good franchise decided this time to go woke and embrace politics. Women cant show any skin but its okay for parents to kill their children and vice versa.

    Alright, I was going to put a whole backstory of how my love for this franchise goes back all the way to 1992, when I was nine years old and how my childhood and teenage years can be defined by two words: Mortal Kombat. But then it got too long and I realized no one cares. Suffice to say, I've been playing the franchise since its debut.

    Like most MK fans, I was hyped for MK11. Up until    Alright, I was going to put a whole backstory of how my love for this franchise goes back all the way to 1992, when I was nine years old and how my childhood and teenage years can be defined by two words: Mortal Kombat. But then it got too long and I realized no one cares. Suffice to say, I've been playing the franchise since its debut.

    Like most MK fans, I was hyped for MK11. Up until recently, I still was. That enthusiasm has subsided quickly once I actually started to play the game deeply. First, as you can see in a lot of bad reviews here, yes, a lot of fans do not like the political agenda that was injected around and into the game. No matter what your politics might be, keep them out of a product you intend to sell. It's common sense. You want to appeal to the largest number of people possible, not alienate a few, and then proceed to demonize them when they don't agree with your line of thinking. Whether you are a liberal or conservative, your message will upset roughly half the people either way. So avoid it. In the case of MK, the devs responded by saying "please, don't call them fans" when it was pointed out to them that some fans didn't agree with their ideologies seeping into the game.

    Well, I own Mortal Kombat 11 on Steam, Xbox, PS4, and Switch, all last three being the Ultimate version. So yeah, I am a fan... but not a fanboy. Big difference. So you bet, I will review every port I own appropriately.

    Graphics -They are absolutely fantastic, no doubt. This is the best looking fighting game at the moment and the best looking Mortal Kombat game ever made, by far. Yeah, lots of gear customization here, which seems to have become the focal point of this game. But once you start fighting red Scorpions or neon Sub-Zeros, along with some downright embarrassing and nonsensical costumes that are repulsive to look at, I wish the system disappeared forever. Preset skins like MK9 and MKX were the perfect compromise. This is MK, not Street Fighter or Injustice.

    Story - Poorly written, but entertaining nevertheless. I think the visuals and familiarity we have with the characters mask that downside quite well. No? Well, put that plot in a movie with unfamiliar characters outside the MK universe and you got yourself a box office bomb and a laughing stock.

    Sound and music - Sound effects are great. The music is boring, forgettable, and unmemorable, better suited in a superhero-themed game. Get rid of this orchestral garbage and bring back the East Asian undertones and kung-fu atmosphere that was part of the foundation of this franchise, please.

    Gameplay - It's very deep, the tutorial is great, one of the best I have ever seen. Frame data, block advantage, man - it's really something to get into. Makes you appreciate fighting games and how technical they can be. That being said it is slower than MK9 and 10, which bothers some people. I really like the customization of abilities, you can really put your gameplay style and personality into your character.

    Single-player - Making progress is nightmarish, demoralizing, ludicrous, an affront to nature, and everything that is good and decent. It's like EA and Konami got together to make something as greedy and as evil as possible. It's disgusting. I like to dive deep into games, especially Mortal Kombat, just really doing everything the game has to offer. Here, the only things being offered are frustration and despair. I'm talking about the grinding, of course. This should be called a "working for Netherrealm simulator" - a taste of what crunching might feel like, except you're paying, instead of getting paid. Let this sink in: people actually use a turbo controller exploit and the AI to play the game for them and make progress. It's the only way unless you abandon all life outside this game.

    This game is like a greedy pig of a mobile game. It absolutely destroys an otherwise near perfect MK entry. I cannot begin to tell you how sad, hurt, and disappointed I am. For the first time in Mortal Kombat history, there are online requirements. You cannot even enter the Krypt if you are not connected to the MK11 servers. And it's all because the in-game currency can be purchased from them as "Time Krystals", with real money. That's what is all about. Despite the initial deception, this game is essentially a big loot box from hell and I despise it for it. Will I continue to play? Yes, I already spent all that money. But will I buy MK12? I highly doubt that things will revert to what they once were. In fact, it can only go worse from here. So most likely, no. This is probably the last MK game I will ever buy. Unless online requirements and grinding is gone, I'm out.

    Xbox One X specific - This is the best console port as far as graphics, due to the more advanced hardware. It looks amazing and much closer to 4k than the PS4 Pro, even though I've been playing mainly on the latter, just because I bought that console first.    … Expand

NRS and WB have hit a new low with this game by attacking the consumer and not their staff. I wouldn’t be surprised if they get a lot of returns because the gameplay is not what it once was.

    Great story, beautiful graphics

    Cons
    - VERY grindy (talking P2W grindy)

    - Customization. almost all the "different" skins are the same thing with a different color scheme. Sure, objectification is a thing these days, but no one has to choose the revealing suit on the females, just like they don't have to have the men shirtless. Make it a choice. At least bring back the classic outfits. Make the different skins actually different. Color changes should not be an unlockable for a full price game and a game is not a place to force your political SJW beliefs on people.

    - amount of playable characters. In a game where the past meets the present, The opportunity to bring in ALL the bad ass characters in the MK universe was unprecedented. Instead most were left out. (and several of the fan favorites.) Unless they're going to show up as DLC. which is cool for the major players (Goro) but not so much for the regulars (Mileena, Reptile,....too many to list)

    - tower difficulty is stupid. Just stupid. Medium difficulty (the lowest I've seen so far) actually translates to absurd. Every battle has an opponent only modifier ranging from extra damage to a second opponent showing up to juggle you to infinity. Noob Saibot has a modifier where you go "blind" when hit.....Try playing MK with your TV turned off.......yeah, that stupid.

    Basically is a beautiful game with a great storyline that seemed more concerned with a cash grab than giving players what they want. Everything they did right with Injustice 2 (costume customization, varying difficulty towers, char progression, etc.) they've abandoned here. I'm betting the MK fanbase is gonna shrink substantially after this one. The inevitable MK12 will be a "wait till it's on sale" buy for me.....if I bother at all.
    Should have bought the PC version on Steam so I could have refunded it.

    So I just played again after the update. Tripled the currency rewards, which allows you to grind chests faster, but still grindy. Tower difficulty has been very slightly adjusted, but most are still way too hard for average players like myself. Even after the update, I'd still refund it if I could.    … Expand

The game has server crashes as well which I’ve never had to deal with in previous mortal kombat games and the krypt is a time consuming grind fest just to dress up the characters. The game has so many penalties that it does not warn you about like losing augments during re rolling for gear items. The game is inconsistent and frustrating making it not worth buying. Even when pulling off a flashy kombo it doesn’t feel as good as it does in the last game. I see many people constantly having to contact customer support from WB games with various issues ranging from bugs and glitches to getting gear items You already own when thats not supposed to happen.

The consumer is oftentimes pushed around by the whims of current cultural trends, profit model trends, and key decision makers that have either lost sight of what gamers want or don’t care and are laughing all the way to the bank.

    Mortal Kombat 11 suffers from an identity crisis. The push to maximizes profits and make shareholders happy coupled with a company trying to reinvent its aging and outdated brand in the current cultural climate has diminished that same brand. A brand that was once at the forefront of the “games aren’t just for kids” movement. Was never about social conformity. It’s not about counting quarters anymore, but much bigger money. The pressure to keep profit margins and brand awareness (and acceptance) high has ironically led yet another game down the wrong priority path.

    Come on, this is a game that spells Combat with a K and has fighters ripping other fighters in half. They purposefully chose to go with a grind that pushes toward microtransactions! It doesn’t matter that they patched it. They had intended to squeeze as much out of the consumer as possible (and the biggest reason this is getting a 0). No skimpy outfits? I get both sides of the argument. Objectification Vs Censorship. Again, this is a brand known for its brutality but they seem to have said this isn’t a hill worth dying on? They did some picking and choosing on what they wanted to be socially responsible with.

    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.
