Why it’s worth playing

While fighting games are rarely praised for their story, Mortal Kombat 11 is an exception. The story here is on the level of a Hollywood action movie, with large-scale battles, unexpected twists and turns, and fun moments where characters fight with their doppelgangers from the past.

The game is perfect for both single-player and friendly battles. Beginners will quickly figure out the controls, and for those who want to test themselves, there’s practice and ranked online matches.

Even on PS4, Mortal Kombat 11 looks crisp and smooth, keeping frame rates high even in the most intense fights.
