what if everybody in the whole world hugged at once what would happen

miserable physics

from a genuinely fun experience back when i was a kid to a greedy, pay to win, poorly balanced game. if you plan on playing this garbage, save up your gems for the prototype and coins for the peacemaker minigun. youll never need to spend a single cent on this greedy pathetic excuse for a game.

Their focus on competitive play has really turned Mortal Kombat into absolute garbage. This game is a half-baked piece of trash that further proves they're going downhill; from MK11 to this. There is beyond less content here than the previous game, and it really shows.

Invasions is their new attempt for giving you more to do, instead of relying off of towers, krypt, or even having konquest. This new attempt, of course, fails to be any form of fun whatsoever. Movement from new missions is completely busted, and trying to go from one place to another doesn't even work half of the time. By the way, you get no freedom of movement in-between Invasions missions, unlike the literal last game where Krypt let you do a bunch of stuff. Hell, even Armageddon gave you a Konquest mode to unlock everything while having an entirely new way to play. It is obvious that they could care less with what goes into anything other than the fighting itself.

Why bring up Armageddon and the previous games? Because this game is also a horrible attempt at nostalgia baiting. They trick you into thinking Kronika is back, when in reality it is a Shang Tsung from an alternate timeline disguised into her, making both endings from "MK11: Aftermath" true. Liu Kang ends up teaming with multiple other timelines, which also shows every tower ending from MK11 was also true and they've all became Titans. The story ends with various references involving Raiden, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi teaming up again (like in deadly alliance) to stop an alternate timeline Shang Tsung from destroying other various timelines. This ends with the Armageddon pyramid, replacing Blaze with alternate timeline Shang Tsung and Quan Chi. It is so lacking that from the 64 fighters that were in the Armageddon intro, are now just the same 24 fighters copy-pasted a billion times with no other characters in sight. This seems like the laziest attempt ever, and even when choosing your final fighter to climb up the pyramid, they give you randomly generated characters that combine some things about them. (for example, "Scorp Lao" is a scorpion and kung lao combined, and "shock priestess" will be a female raiden) and it really shows just how focused they are on gameplay, that they forget everything else that made mortal kombat enjoyable, put a bigger price tag on it, and don't add any form of polish. The multiple references to the older games would make you think they want to branch back out into doing more fun content, but they just want to bait you into talking about their newest game and getting free advertisement for their lackluster content that doesn't give you anything fun from the previous titles they mention.

Towers is almost non-existent, with nothing special about them at all. It's like they were forced to add it in and did nothing with it right after (other than being in Invasions for like 3 fighters in one mission). That's genuinely all I can say about it.

Kameos are meant to you more creativity in gameplay, but the button layout really throws me off to the point where I almost never use it. I've played competitive fighting games for a while, I'm certain I should know what feels good to play. This is not it.

There is a store with the dreadful multiple currencies they keep bringing back, all of it being time-based making you have to wait for something you want. From what I've been able to gather, every currency you get is free throughout playing the game (and slow, tedious Invasions mode), but I'm unsure about Dragon Krystals as they really push you into buying those. There is so much gear (vanity only) that it gives, that I feel there is no need to purchase Dragon Krystals unless you really feel like it. They make it confusing on purpose in hopes you mindlessly open your wallet and fork over more cash. You know, for the $70 game you just bought.

$70. This is $70 and gives you less than what almost any other game could give you. Steam's version doesn't even have cross-play with other platforms, so you're yet again forced to play only with PC players and overall giving you longer wait times to play with anybody. I know the game just came out so that isn't happening for now, but it definitely will happen later on and make your purchase completely pointless if you only play online.

100GB file size. This game is not 100GB. There is no way that they couldn't find ways to compress the files and not eat up 1/5ths of the average person's SSD. This size is definitely going to get worse overtime the more they add stuff, and I'm certainly not going to keep this downloaded if I have to sacrifice a majority of my games just to play one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.

From everything I have listed off, there's no way to come back from any of this. This game has failed to meet my expectations. I truly suggest not even buying it in hopes they will fix some stuff. In my eyes, it is impossible.

they removed the online and still say it has online pvp.

literally cannot play. requires a rename token and i cant do that.

unable to change the name given to me. forever soft-locked because these morons do not know how to make a game.

worst halo game ive ever played

worst game ive ever played in my entire life

i would rather drag my nuts against a puffer fish than play this game ever again
