    This package is a ‘your mileage may vary’ situation. The new characters are great additions, the story is a decent three-hour romp, but my favorite parts were the Animalities and new modes such as the return of the Towers of Time. Sadly the grind has not been addressed. It takes way too long to get to the good stuff. The monetization is still ridiculous and what is with the main menu taking forever to verify my license to play Invasions? These are the kinds of things I would love to see. MK1 could have been one of the best entries of the franchise, but it keeps getting uppercutted by its shortcomings.

    It's always a pleasure to come back to MK1, but the story and fights of this expansion feel a bit shallow. Anyway, we can't wait to fight with those future guest characters.

    Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns is fun to play through but the quick runtime and light amount of gameplay on offer means you’re far better off waiting until it’s at least half-price or less. Part two only lasts for a handful of hours and Havik's timeline shenanigans never really feel like a high-stakes main mission. The new fighters are a redeeming aspect of this expansion, but the whole package seems overpriced at launch. For now, you might want to save your koins.

    For a 2-hour story extension and 6 unlockable characters, 3 of which are only available at some point in the future, £39.99 seems a steep price to pay. So, unless you’re desperate to play the fun but way too short expansion story and try the new characters out, in the meantime the free Animalities will be fun to play with until the inevitable sale down the road.

    If only Khaos Reigns and its campaign had seduced us, but unfortunately the outcome is far from positive. Very short and with no real narrative interest, the additional content of the story mode disappointed us. The new characters, along with a few additions such as skins and animalities, slightly enhance the overall proposal, but not enough to compensate. Mortal Kombat 1 needed a breath of fresh air to rekindle players’ interest, and this pack is not up to the fight.
