Synopsis
Still give the article a read!
"Pros
Story mode is amazing and changes what we should expect from fighting games
Roster features all of your favorite characters from the series
Gameplay is satisfyingly bone crunching
Fatalities and X-rays are vicious, bloody, and cruel
A variety of modes to play, including the beastly Challenge Tower
Tons of unlockables and secrets
King of the Hill makes spectating online matches fun
Online interface makes everything feel more connected
Cons
Story mode cutscenes can’t be skipped your first time through
Boss battles are frustratingly cheap in design
Online play is too inconsistent and frequently has lag issues
Mortal Kombat brings new life to an old franchise that has been around for nearly two decades. The gameplay is by far the best in the series, the visuals are as detailed and gory as ever, and the presentation is second to none. This game changes the way we look at fighting games from a single player perspective. It’s proof that the fighting game genre can have an engaging story that’s well thought out and worthwhile. There is no reason to accept halfhearted, non-existent efforts anymore. The developers of other fighting franchises will need to step up their game just to match what Mortal Kombat has to offer. This would have been a flawless victory if it wasn’t for the inconsistent netcode."
9/10
