VGC - 10/10
Its a game that manages to build on everything that came before it, while at the same time presenting it in a way that will appeal to lapsed fans of the series the ones who still have the ABACABB blood code from the Mega Drive / Genesis original imprinted on their brain but wouldnt know Kotal Kahn if he tore their spine out.

It offers a deeply satisfying combat system sorry, kombat system that rewards both skillful play and button-bashing, its one of the best-looking fighting games weve ever seen and its got so much content urgh, kontent that players will be occupied for along time before the Season structure is even taken into account.

That initial Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat rivalry from 1993 will always go down as one of the most iconic face-offs in video game history. But 30 years later, fans of both can now make a serious claim that in 2023 they each received the best game in their respective series.

Mortal Kombat 1 is the best Mortal Kombat game to date. It looks stunning, has a brilliant Story mode, its new Invasions mode will keep solo players busy and, above all else, it's an absolute joy to play. Thoroughly essential for die-hards, lapsed fans and newkomers.
