Basically if MK11 wasn’t complete dogshit
By no means a perfect game but if im being honest, I kinda enjoyed my time with it.
The story was really interesting and I was on board until it all became a bunch of multiverse fuckery with a ton of random 3D era elements just clashed together with no thought put together, its really embarrassing. The armageddon segment was interesting to say the least but it definitely a tad bit too long, especially since they spike the AI around this time.
The gameplay is exactly the same as MK11 except for the kameo system which was alright. Regardless, I hate the slower style of gameplay this and 11 have and much prefer how it played in the games beforehand. The fatality timer is even worse here than in 11, you literally get 2 seconds to input it and seeing how awful the fatality inputs have been, its nearly impossible unless you literally do it perfectly slow in milliseconds. They also brought back test your might in interesting ways (which for some reason was excluded in 11?) and the invasion mode, which i expected to hate, did have some variation in gameplay but it seems like a slog to 100%.
The customization is still dogshit and the fact we have no krypt means we have to grind just to get different items except with different colors, remember when we used to actually get skins?
Seeing as MK11 scammed me, I don’t plan on buying the DLC (tho the characters I had fun playing with weren’t DLC unlike 11 so thats a plus) but maybe once they release kombat pack 2? who knows
If anything is to be praised, it’s the fact it increased my appreciation for the 3D era and makes me more hopeful in the future of the franchise. That is a feeling that not only did 11 give me the complete opposite of, but newer media in general.
