I’ve always been a Mortal Kombat fan in theory rather than in practice. The world, characters, and style are all up my alley. The only thing that isn’t is actually playing it. The combat is so slow and stiff I feel like I’m posing action figures. All NetherRealm does is make fighting games yet they seem incapable of making one that feels the least bit good to control. The fatalities and cinematics are the only reason to play, but at that point you’d be better off just watching a cutscene compilation.
