MKX is still available for purchase on Steam if you're so obsessed with fast paced combat but for everything else this is the best modern MK game and easily far better than the MK1 crap.

MK11 has like 50 times more single player content,

Easily better roster (MK1 doesn't even have OG characters like Kano and Sonya, what a joke...)

Better soundtrack (even has the OG MK theme)

Better character interactions with 3 lines of dialog at the beginning of the match, much funnier exchanges with many references

Easily better story mode,

Easily better character models. WokeBros forced their puppet Ed Boon to go Woke as much as possible. The female models are ugly af in MK1, Tanya doesn't even look like a woman, she looks more like the retired Brazilian soccer legend Ronaldinho... Hanzo and Sub Zero are extra clean-shaven bisexuals in MK1, while in MK11 they look like Gigachads. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ even took out Shao Khan's legendary Hammer of Wrath and replaced it with an axe...

And personally I think even the gameplay and combat is better. You'll see a lot of fanboys praising MK1 combat and saying the combos are better, but that's the biggest lie about that game. If some people say MKX has the best combat in the series, I can't argue but I think MK1's combat is overrated. The Kameo system is stupid, I'd rather do my defensive moves and throws with my main fighter any day. And the combos are too long and boring, people even started calling them "coffee break combos". There's nothing fun about doing 40 hit combos lasting 15 seconds for only 30% hp... MK1 combat is lazily designed. In MK11 you can easily play more defensively using more polished defensive mechanics and manually control your krushing blows for more advanced offensive play, especially in online matches.

So this game is easily better than MK1 in every aspect.

Easily recommended.

90/100.
