If you think about it, the plot of Mortal Kombat 1 is literally a fictional character's fanfiction about how they'd make the world better, but is interrupted by another fictional character's fanfiction universe colliding with theirs

I loved that they made Baraka more prominent in this game. He was always just an evil henchmen, and now that gave him a bit of a leader and outgoing role. On top of the fact that he’s still the most recognizable of his species because he’s the most tame and intelligent, not letting the disease completely take him over like it has the rest, it’s amazing. And I also love he was the first one we did the “Test Your Might” on

But since T8 will come out many months after SF6, and a few months after MK1, it'll probably bother some features from both those games, and will have the best features :D

The weakest part, unfortunately, is Megan Fox’s voice acting for Nitara imo. Not that she’s a poor actress, but it’s usually 50/50 when it comes to big actors/celebrities voicing a video game character because they haven’t dug into that realm as much. And unfortunately, Megan Fox as Nitara didn’t work out for me (some may like her voice acting for Nitara, which is fine. You do you). But everything else in MK1 is chef’s kiss. One of the best video games I've played and enjoyed this year.

I felt they played with the expectations of the players about some characters, that was particular on Syndel's case, I keep asking until the end ''is she evil? I she not?'', I liked that effort, my biggest critic was not of they breaking the universe on two, but in how they made the multiverse, even if that makes cannon every ending on Mortal Kombat, that also devaluates the special theme on the endings, specially on 11 and the arc from 9-11, if everyone is a Titan, then noone is special -like syndrome says-. But I enjoyed the game, it has really hard work in it and I hope rocks in sells because it's deserved.

Just a minor thing.

The story for MK 1 is amazing! The re-inmaging of the the characters in the New Era was an amazing to see. Reptile (my favorite character), Baraka, Mileena and other characters have been done soo much justice with their new story. Design-wise, the game is beautiful. The characters redesign is top notch and the stages are gorgeous! The storyline however....for 2/3 I was really digging it. It's not bad, but the reveal in the 3rd Act however... I feel like they missed an opportunity to introduce a MK villain that hasn't been seen since the 3D era. The ending however.... promises a very interesting route!

The quality of the story mode in MK1 is on-par and in some cases better than most popular anime shows. What a time to be alive.

My personal review Gameplay: Faster than MK11, breakers, more kombo routes thanks to kameos, more creative fatalities 10/10 Story: Had great build up at first but the second half felt a bit rushed and the jobber problem still exists. Although I enjoyed the hell out of the final chapter. 6.5/10 Roster: Kept the staples like scorpion, sub zero, liu kang... while bringing back 3D fan favorites like li mei, havik, ashrah, reiko... 10/10 Towers: The characters' ending art and the story it tells is one of the best in the NRS era but the lack of intro dialogues is a bummer 7/10 Invasions: A missed opportunity to make this a konquest mode. Most of the challenges are fun but some of them are just absurd. Thankfully, it's not as grindy as MK11. 8/10 Practice: One of the best in a fighting game. It has a lot of what MK11 tutorial has to offer as well as kombo trials. 9/10. -1 for removing pinning moves. Kustomization: Only one gear to kustomize and no option to change your kustomized skin on the select screen. I don't mind the fact that the intro animations aren't as cinematic since 90% of people skip them anyway but we need more options to kustomize skins 5/10 The overall game is pretty great and I would recommend it whether you're a newcomer or a hardcore fan. I would give it 8.5/10

Reptile has been my main so far. Love his combo potential and his design is perfect. Still need to try out most of the roster but Reiko and Sindel (plus my boy Baraka) are other favorites.

I feel like the kameos really add significant depth to the gameplay and make this the most interesting the game has felt in a long time. Even though there will always of course be "meta" ones that are popular (ex: Sareena), I think they did a really good job with making a lot of them interesting. It really feels like you can find a kameo to enhance the strengths or cover for any weakness your character may have. I do really hope they update some things like adding back voice lines to modes like tower and maybe some QOL stuff, but I personally am loving this MK.

Funny I definately feels like cameos are like intrusions in wrestling. It completely destroys the credibility of the match. I understand that it can be a great gaming mechanics. But I cant stand them. Until there is an option for turn them off - MK1 is no go for me. It totaly ruins the feel of the game.

I have similar feeling towards the whole multiverse, different timeline angle of the story. I really feel like they shoot their load in MK11 too much with that idea in mind. Having old characters meeting their younger counterpart, timeline shenanigans. Was hoping they go with more in-timeline issues instead multiverse. But I guess it's kind of hard to go from MK11 to basic story.

The main villain is Shang tsung, but not that one, it’s the one from the a different timeline, but not the one from your timeline, a one from a different multiverse. And he is in a deadly alliance with Quan chi? But not the normal Quan chi, one from a different timeline who just so happens to have the same exact plan.

Loving story mode on MK1 so far, especially Johnny's character development from Chapter 2 (I'm on Chapter 6). However, I am finding myself enjoying the grinding the last few Stage 5 Character Towers I need in MK11, because of the AI battle option. I can grind rewards in the background while at my desk, or just doing some things around the house. Yet we have to remember that the standard edition just came out today, and those of us who got the Premier Edition have only had four days to tear into MK1.

I watched all the cut scenes the other day, and started out really enjoying it. It did get very wonky at the end. I agree that the whole Multiverse shoved down your throat aspect was okay-fine, but predictable. The retake on Raiden and Kung Lou, Meelina and Sindel, Baraka, felt fresh. I enjoyed watching them.

Was a 10/10 for like the first 2/3s of the game, then devolved into typically mk nonsense that has 1000 plot holes, and the multiverse stuff etc etc messy messy messy, wouldve been amazing if they divided this game up into two games and the second game focused on the wars between dimensions, allowing it to actually get the time it deserves

No spoilers here but as impressive as the cinematics and overall scope was, I still feel like MK1 suffers from the same old NRS problems It's stories have always been affected by from the whole one character per chapter thing that makes them the only important/competent person in their scene with the most fodder the moment it's the next characters turn to shine, as well as a bunch of filler fights, that only happens because the characters are way too stubborn and in some cases, completely brain-dead to actually talk to each other about important things for more than 2 seconds before throwing hands.

Yeah I get it's ANOTHER multiverse story but I feel like it was done so well. I started playing MK with Deadly Alliance so with this story like you said calls back to those games and it was awesome. This looks better than MK11 to me just because of the use of much more color. I agree with the intros & outros. Miss those. I like that they took a chance and didn't do a krypt for the invasions mode. Overall this just feels more fun to ACTUALLY PLAY vs what I got outta MK11, personally. So for me I like this more

I just want to point something out about the Kameo Fighters. When I saw earlier previews of the gameplay, I was like, "Guess we're not picking different fighting variations anymore." Which got me down a bit, cause that added some interesting level of strategy and mixing things up in the fights. Then when I closer look at the Kameo Fighters mechanic, I realized that it's still kind of the same thing, just in a different scenario entirely. So I'm glad that Netherrealm was able to still keep some of that aspect from the past games.

This game here made a great weekend for myself and my partners. I had no idea that all of them were mortal kombat fans in some way. We were suppose to play board games for th eweekend and turned the dinner and board game weekend to waking up at 4am each day as each of us watched or played the game until it was done. THis story was on point. Everyone was absolutely rivetted at every twist and turn.
