NetherRealm really knocks it out of the park with their story. I didn't realize until this and MK11 how much fighting game story modes had improved during my ten year hiatus, but it turns out that's mostly a NetherRealm thing.

The format of playing most of the characters one at a time in little 3 or 4 fight increments as it progresses through different parts of the story really is something every fighting game series needs to steal.

I'm hoping for an arcade stick for Christmas and if that comes to pass, odds are good I'll pick up the Legendary Edition of this on sale just for the DLC characters even though the standard version is still included with GamePass.
