    There was something truly magical about Mortal combat back in the days.

But I still loved both stories, and I really loved MK1's changes to the universe, such as "Reptile/Baraka/Sindel are good now"

    what i like about the kameo system is that it adds so much variety to each round. it feels and looks cool to start your combo, cancel, use a kameo, and then continue it for some people ive seen to do 53% damage. Its not just an easy button, either, it requires a lot of technical skill to know when to fire it off and to hit the right buttons in your sequence.

    As an avid fighting game player, I think Street Fighter 6 raised the bar so high for the genre it's pretty much an uphill battle for any upcoming AAA fighting games. MK1 excels in a lot of things, but it has a handful of lows in quality-of-life features that just snowball into being annoying at times.
    IMO, the lack of a lite-tutorial in story mode every time a new character is introduced is a bit baffling. Other genres have been doing it for nearly decades, like how CoD campaigns also serve as tutorials for the multiplayer mode. The tutorial mode outside of story mode itself from my experience is really good, but everyone knows that the majority of the playerbase isn't touching that mode, or even care that it exists. It's why Street Fighter 6 and the upcoming Tekken 8 have made modes to organically teach players how to play the game outside of the tutorial mode with modes like World Tour and Arcade Quest.
    As for online, I haven't experienced much problems, but it's very much MK11's netcode, for better and for worse. It doesn't happen often, but audio can desync for an entire match, which is quite jarring. The netcode is very much functional, but is just not top of the line anymore like it was when MK11 was released. Also there's an annoying bug for private room matches that straight up makes them unusable most of the time. Gameplay itself is great, other than Kameos eating certain inputs for select characters, it's very much a fun system to play around with.
    I would honestly give it an 8/10 for its current state at release. Some QoL things really need to be ironed out or patched. For example, there is currently no way to pick your characters' costumes and colors from the character select screen. You have to exit back to main menu and choose your costumes and colors in the Kustomize menu. It's a small thing, but it's a baffling design choice nonetheless that's just annoying.

And, as a fan of these games since the first, im kinda glad the likes of Sonia and Kano are relegated to Kameos.

    Deception Konquest was the best idea they ever had. The little secrets with being at spots at different times, the characters you would find and challenge. The progression of leaving the village and shujinko's age. Onaga as the last boss. Fuck I loved that game. Idk if they'll ever have the passion/opportunity to be that ambitious again. Micro transactions killed gaming, art doesn't profit. Creativity not rewarded. Maybe one day it will come back

    They really need to bring on more characters. Make an option to switch out who is you Kameo and your main fighter. Would be cool to actually fight as Cyrax again and choose any another character of your choosing as the Kamero. I feel like there isn’t much to start with and the extra dlc will be behind a paywall that I will wait to go super cheap like it did for XL and 11 but at least those games had more base characters to start with

    My first MK since Armageddon on the 360 and I have been having a blast with it. Was on the fence about paying 100 bucks for a MK game since I haven't been into fighting games since I was a kid, but I am having no regrets. Story and lore is surpsingly intricate, combat is fun. It's difficult, but satisfying. The graphics are gorgeous and it's just fun to play. I do have some stuttering issues in cutscenes on PC, but I believe they are aware and working to fix that. There are a TON of games dropping in September and October, so hype.
