MK11 is a great fighting game, certainly the most full-featured and entertaining Mortal Kombat games since MK9, and possibly the best the series has ever been. The Story Mode is without a doubt the most entertaining story mode in any fighting game, and the core fighting itself is rock solid, with excellent graphics and sound to make the experience seem all the more impressive.
The Story Mode is delightfully over-the-top with entertaining and well-directed battle sequences, and lots of cool callbacks to earlier games.
Apart from that, the Klassic Towers give you a classic MK experience with a set of fights with a boss at the end. The basic combat being so good and the characters being so varied, this is plenty entertaining without all the random rule changes of the Towers of Time mode.

- 9611I think my favourite online shop fucked up and sent this to me 5 days before the release date! What a nice Easter surprise!
- 9612I can't stream this on PlayStation (yet): 'Cannot use the selected feature with this application'.
- 9613completed the game on Medium difficulty (Story Mode). I just beat the Story Mode in 5 hours. Very easy, more cutscenes than gameplay, but still extremely entertaining. There was a lot of over-the-top costume drama with giant battles, and lots of cool callbacks to earlier games. Very hard not to like.
- 9619I took a chance and published my full story mode playthrough today, before anyone else on YouTube. I had a couple of fun hours watching the video get over 10K views, before it was taken down by a Warner copyright claim. It's completely fair, I just hope that I can release the video later.
- 9621I tried playing the Time Towers, but the konnection keeps resetting, so it's almost unplayable right now. Maybe I should postpone playing this until release.
- 9631I played an hour of versus mode with Malu and Anders.
- 9638I played a bunch of matches with Martin and Marius, getting destroyed by Marius' Noob Saibot. When I got home, I played through a Time Tower with Jax. The next tower I got booted from the server, but at least it's getting better...
- 9639I finally managed to beat a Time Tower with Jax. And then an error when I tried again with Liu Kang.
- 9650Another day, another failed attempt at completing a tower and getting a server error, dropping me to the main menu. Apart from Story Mode, this game is unplayable.
- 9660Still searching for a solution to the server disconnect problem, I found a post by dings1337 on mortalkombatonline.com that suggested setting up a router DMZ for the PS4. I'm trying that.
- 9661It worked! After setting up the DMZ, I have played for hours without any server issues. Finally, I can fully enjoy this great game.
- 9662I completed a couple of Towers of Time using Liu Kang and Scorpion.
- 9663I played online with Malu for a while, trying out some new stuff with Baraka.
- 9664All players have received a bonus of 500,000 Koins and other stuff, and I've been spending it all in the Krypt. I got an Ermac ability so I can get the green glowing things.
- 9665completed the game with Scorpion on Medium difficulty (Klassic Novice).
- 9666completed the game with Jax on Medium difficulty (Klassic Warrior).
- 9669I played against ERP for a while, he just played the tutorial, so he was pretty green. Still, it was very fun.

- 9672completed the game with Sub-Zero on Medium difficulty (Klassic Champion).
- 9673completed the game with Kung Lao on Medium difficulty (Klassic Champion). I got Scorpion's Spear in The Krypt.

- 9683completed the game with Raiden on Medium difficulty (Klassic Warrior).
- 9684I played a bunch of matches with Erik, and he's become much harder to beat after he's been practicing. His Skarlet is particularly mean.
- 9685completed the game with Frost on Medium difficulty (Klassic Warrior).
- 9686completed the game with Johnny Cage on Medium difficulty (Klassic Warrior).
- 9687completed the game with Cassie Cage on Medium difficulty (Klassic Warrior).
