Fun combat, awesome characters, needs a few more modes and customization. ALSO: great gore (youtube plz don't de-monetize this)

I love the story mode, creating backstory for Kenshi, Mileena, Baraka, and Reptile.

If you've played every mk game so far and havent played this yet, the campaign storyline is absolutely amazing. They went all out with linking every game to date. You will be pleasantly surprised by what goes on in it.

Getting rid of the special forces characters was a very good move imo, it gave a lot of room to both the story and the roster.

Hats off to Mortal Kombat. When the first game came out I was 12 and blown away. I'm still blown away 31 years later. Somehow they keep it fresh and fun for the old and new generations.

This year has been insane for games. We haven't had a year like this for quite some time

I thought I was going crazy at 3:17:

“It’s pretty awesome. It takes some getting used to because it feels different than other games that have mechanics like this. And so far, it feels pretty awesome. It takes some time getting used to it because it feels different than other games that have mechanics even only sort of like this.”

I love the MK storylines, feels like a theatrical event whenever a new one releases

There was something truly magical about Mortal combat back in the days. Where in order to see finishes and combos, ypu would have to be at a friend's house or playing with others order to witness it, there was no YouTube and so watching fatalities for the first time was such an incredible thing to do with friends. I really miss this era.

I may be in the minority, but I absolutely loved the Konquest in Deception and I'd love to see something similar happen again one day. Seeing the realms all fleshed out like they kinda were in that would be such a fun addition.

[trentwyatt]

This story was really creative in resetting the timeline. I really like how they revamped all the characters especially Raiden

[Just_Manny]

The graphics are amazing, the fighting is so smooth and fun… it’s been a while
Since we had a Triple A release that wasn’t riddled with bugs. 10/10

[rondgratejr]

I love what they did for reptile, one of the best voice acting and more impactful

[zanfear]

Oh come on, this roster is AMAZING! A very good balance between klassic kharacters and fan favourite 3D era kharacters. The last MK game trilogy was all about Special Forces and Black Dragon. It's refreshing that they're focusing on others now.

[StardustAvenger]

Just finished the campaign, the story is really good. Overall great game

[emyrthomas]

The limited gear customisation is a huge bummer for me. I know it wasn’t for everyone in MK11 and there were some third gear pieces that seemed unnecessary but I still think every character should’ve had at least 2 gear slots. Being able to change Scorpions mask but not is sickle makes no sense.

[eltacobandito]

Only bad thing is megan fox voicing nitara

[alexanderstewart]

once the game fleshes itself out more it will definitely be one of the best in the series and im excited to see where it goes

[lukelmaooooo]

one thing im not seeing mentioned a bunch is how immaculate the stages and stage themes are, with the stages being split up pretty evenly between metal album cover and colorful landscapes/locales. and if u dont believe me about the music take Black Dragon Fight Klub (arguably the best and most memorable stage theme in 11 despite that not meaning much), and put that up against The Pyramid (Top) . its obvious they are both going for a dark and foreboding trap beat, but one is much more memorable and catchy than the other

[ashleyjohansson]

I hate how kameos made half the characters unplayable and people are defending it claiming "they wouldn't exist then", no the real reason kameos exist is because the developers are too lazy to add gameplay and fatalities of more characters. This is just lazy design disguised as an excuse to add less.
