Mortal Kombat XL is a great fighting game when it comes to characters and abilities, I was never into the MK story because the other MK games that I played was 1,2,4 and 11.
Gameplay the game takes into 12 chapters with different arenas and locations, here you are gonna find iconic characters from the retro arcade ones but with different changes, you get a lot of combos and character unlockables and you can actually make a faction. It also has multiple gamemods to play around and the XL edition can be found fairly cheap on 3rd party sites for extra DLCs.
Story again, the cutscenes were cool but if you want a good MK when it comes to story you could play deadly alliance, it's a short game if you want to binge it in one day. but the story in MK10 takes place 25 years after MK9 and it's mainly focused on Shinnok and Quan Chi as antagonists.
Bonus I watched the MK movies but they are not canon in this timeline so yeah, the first MK movie is more related to the older games about Liu-Kang fighting his way out to avenge his younger brother by defending Shang Tsung, never watched documentaries about the new lore in the new universe with the revenants because I found it to be boring.
