Mortal Kombat X tried really hard to make itself relevant to the new generation of Millennial gamers. The only thing it could have done more was advertise itself with free avocado and make doggo meme jokes. (Actually, they might have done that in the story mode; I can't remember.) Still, it was refreshing to see a bunch of new characters that showed actual timeline progression since Netherrealm is making story focus a bigger deal.

One of the benefits of this paradigm shift is that you get fatalities like this.

This is just three gunshots, but the way it's sold at the end with the casual stroll up to the opponent and blowing the bubble is hilarious. It's a great integration of Cassie's parents: Sonya (who values the efficiency of taking down a target cleanly) and Johnny (who values being an asshole by humiliating his opponent and pandering to the audience). Clean concept, clean execution, funny overall. It definitely achieved what it was aiming for.

That being said... I can't give it too many kudos for being a great finisher objectively. When you break it down, it's seriously just three gunshots, and the gunshots themselves aren't any sweet display of skill or anything. Sorry Cassie, but your run ends here.
