Edit: With new updates, the 30fps cap has been removed. The game is now 60fps across all modes. My feelings towards the game remains unchanged.

This is a 6/10 recommendation. Get it on a sale.

The game is good. The kameos add a new depth to the fighting, the characters are visually impressive, the story mode production value is as amazing as the previous games if not better, and there are plenty of references/callbacks to the older PS2 games which I think fans would appreciate.

HOWEVER - the monetisation is incredibly predatory. I have to pay to get Omni-Man as a voice announcer? Are you kidding me? It should've been free for anyone who bought the premium version. We also got amazing skins (Conan the Barbarian Kotal, Indiana Jones Erron Black, The Batman who Laughs Noob Saibot) for free with the Kombat Pack in MK11, MK1 wants you to pay for new skins. Also paying for "seasonal" fatalities? Imagine if MKX wanted you to pay to access the clan fatalities!

Invasions - While I appreciate the fact that they tried to attempt something new, playing Invasions feel like a slog compared to the random Towers of Time in MK11. I also feel like the replayability is low compared to Towers of Time.

Menus, Fatalities, Fatal Blows and the Invasion mode are all locked to 30fps, which is weird because they removed the 30fps cap in MK11 in a later patch.

Would I recommend this game? Yes, but not at full price.
