His story is addictive and very entertaining, a popcorn action suitable for both fans and novices.
The Kameo fighter system brings immense and highly appreciated depth.
Its combat system improves upon what was seen in previous installments, and it includes a wide variety of game modes.
Wonderful in terms of visuals and sound.

Invasions is the highlight of the experience
Sound design is exceptional
most of the story mode is satisfying

Diverse roster
Kameos are an excellent addition
Combat-wise, Mortal Kombat 1 is easily the best game in the series
Progression and gear system are better balanced than Mortal Kombat 11.

Solo content that leaves you wanting more
Lack of information on the specificities of the characters.
Some repetitions in the animations and a slight lack of expressiveness in the style of certain characters.

The most flexible and potential-rich combat system in the saga.
Varied and substantial workforce, significantly enriched by the presence of the Kameo.
Technically always remarkable
Solid netcode is translated into French as "code réseau solide".

The additional game modes are rather disappointing, especially the Invasions.
Balancing seems to be an utopia now.
Less cleanliness and general care than what we expected.

Small tutorial and training mode
All important special moves and finishers are directly accessible in the action list.
Easy-to-learn system for children, but that experts can refine.
Countless cosmetic customization options...
With a large team of 22 fighters (pre-orders will receive Shang Tsung for free as number 23).
New Kameo system that offers more game diversity and a greater sense of dynamism.
15 fighters from Kameo, including many classic heroes such as Sonya Blade, Kano, or Jax.
Super well-executed story mode
Lush invasion mode
Elegant and detailed graph.
Beautiful animations, often smooth.
Mainly stunning effects
Very good sound effects
Good speakers also in the German version

Permanent connection to the server is also required for the rounds and Invasion mode.
... but with almost typical abbreviations through in-game purchases.
The fatalities sometimes seem to lack imagination.
The arenas are no longer "interactive".
Some animations are rather clumsy or quickly move on to the next animation phase.
No German voice in the Invasion mode.

Stunning graphics and all at 60 FPS.
A story mode far from being anecdotal.
The Dantean content to unlock ensures a great lifespan.
Dynamic and still brutal fights
A large number of characters present from the start.
The tutorial mode, which is essential, is well introduced and quite comprehensive.

The tutorial mode, which is essential, is well introduced and quite comprehensive.
An easy mode that would have simplified the move commands rather than affecting the strength and AI of the enemies would have been welcome.
Some quite long and redundant cutscenes that we would have liked to be able to skip after a few viewings.
A gameplay that is quite technical and may discourage less patient/skilled beginners.

A new entertaining adventure, expanding the lore of Mortal Kombat.
The Invasions mode, a new and fun mode that should be updated through Seasons system.
A careful achievement
New brutal Fatalities, just the way we like them.
A high-quality voice-over
A present VF, although uneven.
The rollback netcode for online gaming.

Generally less generous than its predecessor.
The presence of Kung Lao, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero both in the roster and in the cameos. We would have preferred to keep these slots open for other fighters.
Possible cameos in story mode only.
More Crypt
The guard on a button, forever a heresy.
Gameplay too focused on controller players.
A learning mode that is frankly questionable.
Having to modify the settings of your console to change the language of the game is quite annoying.

The cameo system is a revolution in itself.
The Invasions mode is a masterpiece that combines the best of the Krypt and the Towers of Time with numerous unlocks and a crushing progression system.
Rollback Netcode makes the online experience much more enjoyable.
