There's a lot to love about Mortal Kombat 11. The grind, though, can do one.

Mortal Kombat 11 delivers an engrossing, content-rich fighting game experience that stands as one of the best entries in the long-running, blood-soaked franchise.

It's impressive that Mortal Kombat 11 plays as well as it does on Switch, but it loses a lot when you're on the go and away from wi-fi.

A deep, customisable fighter that just happens to include the best video game movie never made.

Mortal Kombat 11's story mode, along with its gameplay, is the most intense and gripping narrative in a fighter that I've played in years.

Most of the content is amazing and fun, but the loot issues and microtransactions come close to being a self-inflicted Fatality for NetherRealm

Whether you’re a longtime fan or just looking for a story mode to grind, or even just interested in learning a little more about fighting games outside of simply mashing the buttons, there is something for everyone in Mortal Kombat 11 — or at least, everyone who can stomach the extreme violence and gore.

Mortal Kombat and excessive violence had gone hand in hand from the start. But MK11 can feel like it's trying too hard, with animations that start to feel dragged out and forced. More respect for the viewer's time would have been nice. Ending a match with a long Fatal Blow and then getting the invitation to perform the fatality right after can feel like the Simpsons meme: "Stop, stop! He's already dead!"

The ever-flowing nature of time meant we'd eventually return to an Armageddon level event.

This is a remarkably good fighting game, and it feels like a disservice to the craftsmanship of its creators not to acknowledge that.

Mortal Kombat 11 is the best Mortal Kombat since MK2, a bold and bombastic entry that boasts a fighting model that finally matches the slapstick theatrics of gory Fatalities.

If you absolutely want a portable version of Mortal Kombat 11, this is a fine experience when it comes to the core gameplay.

Mortal Kombat 11 feels amazing to play, with plenty of depth and individuality in each fight. The Krypt's randomness of unlocking gear is annoying, and some Towers of Time challenges are unnecessarily difficult, but this is still a must have for fighter enthusiasts.

Mortal Kombat 11 is possibly the best game in the series yet, thanks to its smooth fighting mechanics, and fun online and local modes. However, the awful microtransactions and the grind required to unlock items truly hampers the overall experience.

Mortal Kombat 11 doesn't change many things. The series of Ed Boon and NetherRealm is still alive. This new game is deep and it is full of content. The Fatal Blow is a good idea, and visually he continues to be brutal and spectacular, although it is running in Unreal Engine 3. The new characters and modes are great.
