MORTAL KOMBAT 11 REVIEW ROUNDUP

No more character reveals. No more awesome game-play trailers. No more developer streams. After a holy Easter, it is now the bloody Tuesday as Mortal Kombat 11 has finally arrived. We have been covering this game from its first reveal last year and made mentions numerous times about our excitement for the game. Now, while we wait for our own copy to ship we have read many of the industries' top critics for there opinion on the game. Here are five of those reviews:   

GAMESRADAR 4/5
'Mortal Kombat 11 struck a rare chord in me where, even after playing twenty hours in a few days, I want to go back and play more. I doubt I'll be next in line to compete at EVO, but as a casual player who enjoys putting extra time in - I love what NetherRealm Studios has put together.'

IGN 9/10
'It’s a rare fighting game that hits just about every note as strongly as Mortal Kombat 11 does. Everything from its methodical and deep combat to its fantastically absurd story mode and its rock-solid netcode, right down to its extraordinarily comprehensive tutorial is absolutely exceptional.'

USGAMER 3.5/5
'There's a lot to love in Mortal Kombat 11. It's a fantastic fighter with a roster of 25 varied characters, tons of customization options, beautiful graphics, and one of the best story modes in a fighting game. It's a shame that modes like the Krypt and Towers of Time inject annoyance and tedium into what was an excellent experience.'

GAMESPOT 
'MK11 isn't just a sequel for series fans and Netherrealm devotees, it's a gateway into the realm of fighting games for anyone who has a passing interest in watching ruthless warriors beat each other silly.'

GAMEXPLAIN (VIDEO REVIEW)

So it seems while the game-play still deep and fun there exist issues with the single player progression and micro-transactions a cause for concern. However, just like every other game review, these should not be taken as gospel but more of guide to what you may or may not like before purchasing. I may hate micro-transactions but, I am also hoping it doesn't interfere with my enjoyment of the game. For more on Mortal Kombat check out our Top 5 favourite Mortal Kombat games.
