“Mortal Kombat 1 is the best Mortal Kombat game yet. It looks amazing, has a great story mode, and the new Invasions mode will keep you busy for hours. It’s a must-play for fans of the series.”
Screen Rant
“Mortal Kombat 1 is a great game, but it’s not the best place to start for newcomers. If you’re a fan of the series, you’ll love it, but if you’re not, you might be a bit disappointed. Still, it’s a must-buy for fans of fighting games.”

“Mortal Kombat 1 is a rebirth for the series. It’s everything you love about Mortal Kombat, but with a fresh new perspective. It’s a must-play for fans of the series.”
IGN
“Mortal Kombat 1 is a great game, but I need more time with it to give it a final score. So far, I’m really enjoying the Kameo system and the new fighting mechanics. The story mode is great, but Invasions seems like a bit of a grind.”
Games Hub
“Mortal Kombat 1 is a refined and confident instalment of the series. The story campaign is great, the fighting mechanics are solid, and the game is very accessible. It’s a must-play for fans of fighting games.”
Mortal Kombat 1 Launch Trailer Features Ferociously Fierce Fatalities
Warner Bros. Games has released the new Mortal Kombat 1 launch trailer. It’s as brutal as you would expect, with plenty of gore and over-the-top fatalities.
The trailer shows off the game’s cast of characters, including Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Raiden, and more. It also features some of the game’s fatalities, which are sure to make even the most hardened fans cringe.
In addition to the fatalities, the trailer also shows off gameplay for two new characters, Reiko and Shang Tsung. Reiko is a powerful Shokan warrior, while Shang Tsung is the sorcerer who has been manipulating events in the Mortal Kombat universe for years.
The trailer is definitely not for the faint of heart, but it’s a must-watch for fans of the series.
