Introduction





I'm a huge fan of the Mortal Kombat franchise, sadly not the best player, but still finished MK9, MKX, and now MK11. Being MK11 a good game, have still some problems that couldn't easily have.





Graphics





Mortal Kombat 11 it's in terms of graphics a masterpiece, it's the most realistic game, in terms of visuals that I played soo far this year.





Some lucky characters had the opportunity to have a new design (Subzero, Scorpion, Kitana, and others....), and to be honest, all the characters look really more like people, not that strange aspect that they had in Mortal Kombat X





While you are playing, a good way to see the game visual quality are the X-rays and the fatalities, it's just a fusion of gore and pure amazing visuals, it's just disgusting and in the same time, amazing.

Gameplay





The game in terms of commands it's still the same, nothing new in that aspect, and about the habilities, the unique think that is different are the fataltities, that are more easy to perform in my opinion. Mortal Kombat 11, in the overall, it's more a new players friendly game, we have soo many different tutorials that will help a new player learn how to do combos and habilities and the story isn't necessarily hard, you can easily end without seeing all the cutscenes in 3 hours, giving while you are playing items and outfits to costumize your characters.





The krypt, ohhh I loved, the game becomes a third person while you are exploring the krypt, a place where you can open as usual the boxes to get outfits and items to costumize your characters, but also resolve puzzles, and that will led you in an exploration adventure, with some iconic places.





The costumization, Mortal Kombat 11 have a great think never saw in any game of the franchise, let you costumize your characters, and it's great, you can choose a outfit and after you can change the items/parts that the game really let you change, remember that you will win outfits and items to costumize playing the story or open boxes in the krypt, but what makes the costumization soo good its that you can choose your habilities, that's just more that great, it's fantastic.





A bad aspect it's that the game don't really balance very well the skill lvl in multiplayer, I was just a lvl 17, and I was playing casuals against lvls 40 or more, I started playing rankeds seeing if I can get people with my lvl, and I was still playing against lvls 40 or more, for someone that don't play well the game, like me, will start getting frustrated.

Mortal Kombat also losed some iconic characters of the game, like Kenshi, Reptile and Ermac, some characters that had a important place in the last game story, like Takeda and Kung Jin, and even we had a character that was part of the game story, and sadly wasn't included in the game (Spoiler: they die, but that's no reason, last game Quan chi also died and was part of the MK X), Cyrex/Sektor (Triborg), but I will not say that I don't liked the new characters, the coming back of Skarlet (for the first time not as a DLC character), Jade (this time playable) and others... , and also the new acquisitions: Geras, Kollector and Centrion. To finish, a really bad think of the game it's that a iconic vilan of the franchise, Shao Khan, it's so easy to defeat in MK 11, I understand that they wanna make him a playable character, and he can't be super op for that, but they cold just put him op in the story.





Story





In the overall the story is good, I liked the coming back of old villains and heros of the franchise in the right role, not switching sides. The unique problem that I see, to the franchise, it's that the game have a close end (in my opinion), soo I'm not seeing NetherRealm continuing this timeline, if wanna release another Mortal Kombat, in my opinion, will be basically like Mortal Kombat 9 was, a reboot.

The story is basically cutseens, so you just think that you are seeing a interactive movie, that in the breaks you need to defeat a enemy.





I was also interested to see what could happen if that bad Raiden started conquesting other realms, could be also another good approach to the game.





Fun





Mortal Kombat 11 it's a hell of a game, and it's obviously fun, you will get frustrated in some stuff, but nothing of other world, you will just pass that and still enjoying the game.

Conclusion





Mortal Kombat 11 it's a strong 8.5, the game have some problems, but still you can have soo much fun, and the fights are soo good that you will not really be trigger with the problems that you can found while playing.





Evaluation: 8.5/10
