I think this is probably my favorite Mortal Kombat game. It looks beautiful, has a dope story that hooked me from start to finish, and was I thought generally pretty faithful to your classic characters. The fighting took some getting used to as someone who had put down gaming for a while, but I think it's overall good and satisfying most of the time. Lots to do from online play to the campaign to towers. I also do love the Krypt. Such a nice idea and way to engage with MK history. Additionally, there is so much to customize in this game and I love the classic looks available to us. Plus, some of the best DLC characters in the franchise in my opinion. Such a good game!

Overall a decent game. It wasn't exactly what I expected going into it, but once you accept the game for what it is, you can enjoy it. It's entertaining and challenging and has plenty of secrets for you to find and go back for. At points it was pretty frustrating for me because the puzzles or paths you had to take weren't clear. I'm not saying I expected them to be, but the game I don't think gave you much in the way of hints after you tried or went to the wrong area. So if you took a break and picked the game back up later, you'd probably get lost have to find a guide. Combat was basic I'd say but not bad. Still fun overall. 3/5

Not the hardest game in the world, but it can be pretty frustrating. It will test your patience unless you love this type of game. I thought the story was nice and the lessons taught were genuinely appreciated. The art and sprites were aesthetically pleasing and I think appropriate. It does a good job of letting itself be what you want it to be without sacrificing its message. What keeps it from being 5 stars for me? I'm not really sure. I suppose I just didn't have a ton of fun playing it. But I won't deny it's a good game. Perhaps just not the game for me.
