Game Review: Mortal Kombat 11

when I last came back from the US I needed movies to watch. And what did I find randomly on Netflix? Exactly, the Motarl Kombat movie. I am no big fan of the gore and fatalities, or really of the fighting genre overall, but Mortal Kombat somehow caught my attention with the interesting charakters. But that is basically the story, I saw the movie, Steam Summer sale put the game at 3€ and I got it and played it.

And I enjoyed it, the story, in a fighting game. Imagine the confusion of all the people I told about it. Mortal Kombat is normally a game that you play against other people, that lives from the Versus modes. But I played it for the story and I liked it.

The story itself is not that deep, there is a big bad and the heroes want to stop them. And at the end they get there eventually. Credits (with lots of fatalities in slow motion). But bexond that it gives a cohesive narrative without much intrigue, but just a simple narrative. And that is something I actually like and appreciate. Also, just as a heads-up, I would recommend to at least watch the movie before playing the game, else a lot of the references would not hit at all. Or the previous Mortal Kombat titles, that works too.

The graphics are not breathtaking, the fighting is still the same as in every other game, but still it felt a little easier than the 10th installation in the series, maybe they made the input a bit easier. I couldn't really tell, because it is a few years snce i played the 10th game. I would say it is a solid game, for fans there is some more lore, and some more DLC characters to play like Terminator and Robocop. For me it was some good entertainment for a few days that cost just 3€, and isn't having a good time what games are all about?
