Honestly a really interesting spin off. I think the story is kind of awkward as it's main conflict between it's two leads feels really contrived and forced but the game overall is alot of fun.

I think the gameplay perfectly transfers the mechanics of the main series into an action game setting, the co-op having a shared health bar really does encourage cooperation and I think alot of the character designs are cool.

My biggest gripe is the platforming/exploration. I felt like at times in the second half that stuff got confusing and some platforming sections felt more difficult than they should've been.

Overall, as someone who's fairly new to Mortal Kombat. I really enjoyed my time with Shaolin Monks even if it isn't perfect.
