Video game review: 'Mortal Kombat 11' is a fighter’s dream come true, and a nightmare for completionists
Raiden, one of the series' original characters, again plays a decisive role in the game's story. By Gene Park Gene Park Embedded audience editor on the Opinions desk Email Bio Follow Audience editor April 26 at 4:43 PM As other video game genres have ascended, fighting games have been brawling for relevancy. In the shadow of ever-evolving live service games like “Fortnite,” the game plan for fighting games to compete has been simple: Offer more content than ever before.
So let’s get this out of the way: “Mortal Kombat 11” does not practice predatory practices. It comes dangerously close though. A viral Reddit post mischaracterized the game’s economy by saying you can pay $6,440 to unlock all the character outfits. Boon harshly refuted that claim in a tweet earlier this week.
It’s encouraging news, especially for completionists. If you’re the kind of player who needs to experience everything a game has to offer, this one may take years of playing. “Dad always said, ‘Hungry people eat lunch, humble people serve it,’" the younger one tells the older.It gives the writers a chance to bring back phased-out elements of old characters, a pleasant throwback to the game’s roots as a gory, campy tale styled with discount Halloween costumes. Nostalgia can be a tricky balance between recycling content and genuinely stirring fond memories, but in this case, it works.
