MK1 is very weird for me to review, as to this day I'm not really sure how I feel about it.

I find the gameplay to be a vast improvement over 11, which is really all that matters for a fighting game, but I miss the customization that really helped make everyones mains stand out. No two characters were the same in MK 11 and I adored making my fighter stand out amongst the crowd. The new invasion mode is a very boring counterpart to Towers of Time, which were already poorly implemented to begin with but at least you could farm them and get the things you wanted in an hour or so. Online is bare bones right now, lacking fun game modes besides just ranked and unranked play with no crossplay implementation at launch. The story is a typical MK story, fun and action-packed but nothing really to scoff at. I guess the question I should be asking myself is, "Did I have fun?", and yeah I can say the game is fun based on its gameplay alone, but compared to the features of MK11 at the moment, everything just feels barren with them taking away game modes and customization and instead implementing lackluster replacements.
