Pros
- Story mode was a fresh and intriguing time.
- Core fighting mechanics felt good, which was helped by the excellent Kameo fighter system.
- Fatalities shine once more.
- Fun cutscenes backed by a great voice cast and fantastic visuals.
- Johnny Cage is peak in this entry.

Cons
- Story falls back into familiarity towards the end which was a shame.
- Invasions was fun for an hour but ultimately too grindy for me.
- I miss the traditional crypts!
