Mortal Kombat 1 is finally here; expectedly, it’s a bloody, gory good time. Pitched as a reboot to the entire Mortal Kombat universe, NetherRealm Studios’ latest fighter for the PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch platforms has received much critical praise. It could be easily one of the best fighting games of the year.
According to critics, the new fighting mechanics and single-player content are as solid as they ever were with the previous games, making it a satisfyingly brutal game to play. However, while the game lacks other modes, the depth of content guarantees that fans will have plenty to chew through for the next few months.
