Mortal Kombat 1

Fortnite-skins, cringe-inducing guest characters, stunt celebrity casting (I’ve never heard worse voice acting than Nitara in this game).

I have been a fan of this series since I was a kid, I have fond memories of playing the midway 3D Mk games on the PS 2, back when I was like 10 since I never really had a true gaming experience, and to be honest I was hooked, I mean having a controller in hand and playing as Scorpion in Deception was peak life and no one can deny that game still slaps and although it would take like 6 more years till I finally decided to touch an NRS MK game, I started to really love them, back then MK 9 and MK X were out so I decided to buy Mk 9 and it really brought my love for FGs, it's gameplay is probably the most broken out of the NRS games but to say it was not fun was a lie, gameplay wise MKX is the best and probably one of my favorite fighting games to come out of that era, not just gameplay but graphically it is very iconic and even to some extent nostalgic, I hold these games close to heart.

Bringing back characters that weren't in the previous installment of the game like Ermac, Ashrah, Li Mei or Havik was a great idea, the graphics are really decent and the gameplay would be fine too, however, a few key changes make the game drastically lose its value.

A positive I'll say here about performance is that while playing online, wifi players are nowhere near the pain in the ass they were in MK11 and MKX.
