Still shit and undercooked but I would be lying if I didn't say the gameplay does feel pretty good. Too bad that doesn't outweigh literally everything else.

Gameplay wise this game is fantastic as always, though I do wish they'd stop changing the buttons every game. Graphically the game is wonderful, and I like the soundtrack as well. The new characterisation for the characters is honestly really cool, and feels well done. The story is actually well written…. Until they start to bring in other timelines and create a multiverse, and then kill Sindel. At which point the story takes a nosedive and becomes full of plot inconsistencies and poorly explained events. It also has no real final boss. The game is also filled with microtransactions designed to gouge you out of every penny you earn, so that's not good.

I thought the campaign was pretty good and the gameplay was good. Until I got online and people just spamming down 1
Pretty underwhelming atm and unfortunately I don't see it changing much in the future. I prefer the feeling of 11 gameplay wise to this.
I won't lie, I do find this game good, but I am let down by it. I was really expecting a much better game than it ended up being, I was hoping for this to be a 4/5.
The story is good, but it did feel tiring after a bit, it felt a bit too over the top at times, which is fine. I like the idea of this being a story reboot, and I think that's a cool way to change up relationships of characters, and bring the game series into a new direction.
The graphics, and from a technical standpoint, this game is great. It's absolutely stunning to look at, everything looks lifelike. My issue is the gameplay, it just didn't do it for me. It lacked that great feel that MKX and MK11 had.
The fatalities also didn't do it for me, I found them quite lackluster, and maybe it's because I've become totally desensitized to them.
Overall: 7/10

Fun and brutal. I like the story but I'm not too keen on some of the character redesigns and movesets now, as I had gotten used to MK11 and XL before that. I don't like the Kameo system either but it's still a fun button masher with scope to play like a pro. Plenty of modes too but the board game style one is a bit naff.
