Mortal Kombat 11 review: the hard-hitting fighting game of the year

Mortal Kombat 11 is pure gold at its bloody heart, but the bells and whistles don’t impress. Our US chums reviewed the PS4 version… Is this latest outing an evolution for the studio or has NetherRealm already perfected the formula?

Warning: contains spoilers. One of the most affecting scenes of the entire episode didnt have any dialogue. It didnt have any fancy camerawork.
