Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Reviews
While not revolutionary by any stretch, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath breathes new life into the experience in smart and welcome ways. With the exception of the average Robocop, the new characters are unique and brimming with potential, and the story content is a short but sweet trip through the world of Mortal Kombat post-MK11 - hefty price-tag aside.
All in all, MK11: Aftermath is a fun reason to revisit an aging game. The new story is enjoyable for Shang Tsung alone, and the new characters add a bit to the game. However, if you've been keeping up with MK, then the $40 price tag might be too heavy for the amount of content that you get. Once the price comes down, it'll be a worthwhile way to round out Mortal Kombat 11's story. You'll get to arrest evil sorcerers as Robocop, and isn't that what we've all wanted to do?
Unfortunately, the Aftermath expansion pales in comparison to previous Kombat Pack in terms of both content and price. Without a doubt, this expansion has less value than Kombat Packs and is not recommended since other than a story section and 3 new characters, it has nothing to offer

Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath story and presentation feels and loooks incredible. It's a real testament of how the narrative in a fighthing game can evolve. However, this time the content offered in this package feels lacking compared with its high price point. The new characters are worth it but more novelties and additional fighters are needed to justify the purchase. Of course, the free update for all players is appreciated.

Aftermath is more than a DLC to me. A very good storyline with great narrative and satisfying characterization, make it worth your money. New playable characters are easy to play and hard to master which make them right for the roster. If you like to expand your experience with MK11 in a really fun way, Aftermath has everything for every playstyles.

All in all, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is a worthy expansion to the already excellent base game
Ultimately, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is a decent expansion. It has a solid story and the additional characters are a welcome addition but none of it is as good as the base game. In the end, Aftermath just might be asking a little too much from fans.
...Those who have never played MK11 before can purchase the base game, the Kombat Pack and Aftermath for $59.99. This is an absolute steal for what may be the best fighting game of the generation. Aftermath reinvigorated Mortal Kombat 11 in such a way I can’t help but not recommend it.
I really enjoyed the Aftermath story campaign, though, appreciating all the twists and turns it presented throughout, watching a mastermind like Shang Tsung at work. Price range aside, it’s an absolute must for Mortal Kombat fans and is sure to set the fan theories into overdrive as to what comes next.
A nice add-on for franchise completionists but largely superfluous for more casual fans, especially when weighed against the strength and value of vanilla MK11.
With many additions included alongside its feature length campaign, including its downloadable characters, handful of skins and new arena’s, and of course Cary Tagawa’s own campaign, you will not be disappointed by this astonishing adventure. Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is essential gaming for hardcore, and old-school fans of its historic legacy.
The new story, whilst fun and camp and brimming with all the 80s action-movie nonsense that NetherRealm so shamelessly references, is just a bit underwhelming.
Aftermath brings us a new continuation of the story where we will relive moments of the original, with important changes and letting new personalities shine.

It may be pricey for the amount of content it offers but the story makes up for this flaw and sets up a better path for the future of the series compared to the main game's ending.

Mortal Kombat 11 is already an excellent game, that got even better for newcomers with a lot of fun new content.

Although the most significant changes to Mortal Kombat 11 come from an update that doesn’t require you to put down more money for an expansion, Aftermath still manages to be a worthwhile addition for its story mode and Shang Tsung’s exceedingly fun performance alone.
Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is a brilliant addition to what is already a spectacular game, with the new story content proving a treat to play through and the three additional characters all adding something uniquely enjoyable to the experience. It’s just a shame that it’s so pricey, with the £34.99 price tag proving quite hefty, especially since the base game can be picked up for much cheaper. Still, there’s no doubting the quality of the content in Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath and it certainly makes for a VERY good reason to re-visit NetherRealm Studio’s dazzling fighter once again. Here’s hoping that the team will continue to support the game in the future, and who knows, maybe we’ll see more top-notch content coming to Mortal Kombat 11 in the future…
New content for Mortal Kombat 11 that adds a new approach to the story, new fighters, friendships are back and we can control Robocop.

If you already have a disc or digital version of Mortal Kombat 11, update the game and enjoy its new and free content, but paying $40 for the Aftermath add-on is not recommended at all. The story section of Aftermath is short and poor quality, only two of the added characters are good enough, which unfortunately cannot be purchased separately.

If you like fighting games and did not have a great game like Mortal Kombat 11 in your possession, now is your chance to have it all with Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Kollection, which also includes the Kombat pack with characters like the Joker. On the other hand, if you already had the game, you will have to weigh whether the new story expansion and the additions are attractive enough to pay € 39.99.
