in my continuing journey to get into fighting games i picked up Mortal Kombat 1 next
Mortal Kombat is on of those properties that i know a ton about, not because i've actually played it, but because i've pored over wiki pages and youtube lore videos. it's such a great aesthetic, 70s kung fu movies through grindhouse gore and 90s sci-fi
the story mode is a ton of fun and i quite like the soft reboot with Raiden and Liu Kang switching roles (this is completely unrelated to the fact that i would pay $1,000 for Liu Kang to spit on me)
there are a lot of fun interactions between characters and interesting fights
the story does go off the rails at the end, kind of working back on its initial setup, and it loses focus on the ground-level characters who it started off with
still havent gotten into the online modes because i'm a chicken but i know i have to get into it to get better
