Gameplay is good and there is an in-depth single player element that is entertaining.
But ranked versus matches have you, a new player, pitted against players with 150 wins this last season, or players that somehow have 0/0 and are over rank 100. On top of that, players will trash talk you and tell you to stop playing.
Well, I will stop playing.
Good luck building a new fan base when pc players are free to use macros, the ranked matches have no discriminant ability to place players with relevant skill levels, and the current player base has no interest in respecting newcomers to the series.

This game is very cool, i don't know why everyone says it's a bad game but it's so detailed, great game. I played this game myself and when I downloaded it, I just couldn't put it down, so I think this game is the best mortal kombat game released in 2023

Solid game over all. I came into this one uncertain how the universe being reset would turn out.
I really enjoyed the first 3/4 of the story only for the plot to force me into hitting my head against my desk towards the end.
Game play feels well balanced, characters and environments are really well detailed and the cast of characters is huge. Would definitely recommend it to any long time fans of the series but would recommend waiting for it to go on sale.

Great game in general but as most mk games the cons outweight the pros here are some for people who are still trying to see if they like the game
-pros
-wider range of combos and extenders with kameo assists
-great roster with throwbacks and guests
-story mode in my opinion was not that bad
-there is a character for every playstyle
-cons
-invasions is very dissapointing
-losing player base

The game has improve massively after all the patch notes and updates. The game is now better balanced despite the poor start at launch. Personally I enjoy the game and I spend most the time gaming MK1 and always learning something new. I would recommend the game even though kameo system is not for everyone but it kinda grew on most in the MK community.

Major step backwards from Mortal Kombat 11 from its story mode to even the changes they made to the combat. Its even more disappointing that as of time of writing this review the main story is split into two parts and to unlock the second part you are required to pay fifty dollars just to get the whole experience.
The greed soaks through the game and it weighs it down from being a improvement to what could of been a really enjoyable and great time.

Really just not fun. MK11 was/is far superior. This feels slower, and the kameo system is terrible. Invasions are endlessly boring.
The only positive thing I can say about it is the art direction is well executed. I actually enjoy the brighter and more vibrant style, even though I prefer the darker and more gritty look of the previous titles.
