The story mode is a lot of what one would hope for from a Mortal Kombat campaign. It's pretty ridiculous and there's some really awesome moments for a lot of great characters of the franchise. That said, it's not as satisfying as 11's story. Most character arcs are left almost entirely unresolved with Sonya Blade being the really only one that feels satisfying, and the combat's a little slower and heavier than I prefer - it feels closer to an Injustice game than the type of MK that I like. Not to say it's not fun though. The loadouts and cosmetics are great, and it's a FANTASTIC roster with some really great DLC characters.
