PROS
Easy to learn fighting system; Visually compelling brutality; Lots of unlockable content

CONS
Cut scenes in Story Mode a tad long; Lacking a few iconic characters

VERDICT
While the series’ power may have waned with recent iterations, MKX feels like a real return to form by NetherRealm. The studio has kept this new title as simple as possible, focusing purely on the elements that made the original so great: no holds barred action, speedy button mashing gameplay and absurdly bloody fights.
