Mortal Kombat 11

Mortal Kombat 11 is a chance to bank on a lot of goodwill. Worried about a storyline that has gone on for a long time? Bring the past and the present together to freshen things up and make sure everyone is familiar with every character. Want it to be accessible? Have lots of modes with different difficulty options, then offer tutorials and Konsumables to maybe give people an edge. If the grind gets cut back and maybe the internet restrictions relaxed, it could end up becoming one of the most solid and beloved entries in the series.

MK11 isn't just a sequel for series fans and NetherRealm devotees, it's a gateway into the realm of fighting games for anyone who has a passing interest in watching ruthless warriors beat each other silly. Streamlined mechanics keep the act of fighting furiously exciting no matter what your skill level, and comprehensive tutorials encourage you to dig into the nitty-gritty. There's a diverse roster of interesting characters and playstyles, and the story mode is an entertaining romp.

Mortal Kombat 11 offers an extreme amount of customization and replayability all while maintaining its pure enjoyment when fighting. The entry commemorates new and old for the series, and showcases Netherrealm Studios true potential. While it is not perfect and has its flaws, Netherrealm ultimately created a game that is enjoyable at the core and is the best the franchise has ever been before.
