Never cared for her, but I feel that pain with this roster in other ways. I know a lot of people are peeved about Mileena. This is unavoidable with as many characters as MK has - and to be honest, you wouldn't want too many characters, because balancing would be a nightmare/impossible. With games like MK, a lot of fans are always gonna get upset with each entry. Just to vent about something, I think it was a huge mistake by their marketing department to feature Cyrax and Sektor (with awesome new models!) in the launch hype trailer days before release, then exclude them from the roster. It’s a shame for die-hard fans of those characters, and there’s a lack of diversity in characters, too – without Goro, there’s no hulking brute of a character such as Bane in Injustice. Unfortunately, there are significant omissions, too with no Smoke, Ermac, Kenshi, or Reptile on the roster, we’ll hope for some robust DLC. There are 25 characters included at launch, including newcomers Geras, Cetrion, and Kollector. Mortal Kombat 11 is stuffed with content (kontent?), too. On PlayStation 4 Pro, frame rate is solid, too – even with detailed backgrounds often filled with moving parts and characters. Mortal Kombat 11 is one of PlayStation 4’s prettiest titles, be that in-game or in cutscenes. These details are bought to life through impeccable presentation. As always, fatalities are the big draw, but environmental attacks and special moves have a chance to trigger the X-Ray vision of bones breaking and organs puncturing. This slower pace does nothing to stem the viscera – Mortal Kombat’s violence has always walked the line between the ridiculous and the wince-inducing, and Mortal Kombat 11 feels like the purest form of this. There’s comedy, tragedy, and drama throughout, and these characters have never felt more believable – no mean feat considering the series’ history of jumping between dimensions, worlds, and alien races with plenty of hamminess.
While seeing young Johnny Cage meet his older self may sound like it borders on fan-fiction, the smart writing and excellent voice acting throughout make for some surprisingly effective moments. Kronika’s time manipulation powers allow the campaign (or should that be kampaign?) to bring together fighters from across the storied franchise’s history. After he executes Shinnok, new antagonist Kronika appears to attempt to rewrite the history of the Universe. Picking up after the events of 2015’s Mortal Kombat X, Raiden is now acting as judge, jury, and executioner of all threats to Earthrealm – including the undead versions of his former comrades. NetherRealm’s latest is a solid kontender for the best PlayStation 4 beat-em-up, but its heart has been korrupted by a baffling progression system. Mortal Kombat 11 sees the return of the nearly 27-year-old franchise, and likely for its last hurrah on this generation of consoles.
