Mortal Kombat 1, again.
Mortal Kombat 1 is a comic book movie set in the Warner Bros. Cinematic Universe based on the fighting game series Mortal Kombat. Developed by Netherrealm Studios, Mortal Kombat 1 follows directly from the events of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath and explores the new universe Liu Kang created after gaining control of Kronika's Hourglass.
Fighting Against Arrested Development Mortal Kombat 1 is the fighting game equivalent of Toy Story's Sid Phillips, a child taking all of their playthings apart and then gluing them back together in different combinations to see what happens. Nothing is unique here, not even any of the playable characters are original.
Mortal Kombat 1's Invasions mode is a perfectly fine dose of single-player variety, but it isn't as visually interesting as the Krypt nor as enjoyable as some of Mortal Kombat's Konquest modes or other mini-games in previous entries. It also suffers from feeling like a reuse of ideas, as many of the encounters and fight modifiers accessible in Invasions are just different variations of the gear system and Test Your Luck settings from the previous three games.
MKX and MK11 felt like evolutions of the 2011 formula, and tantalizingly hinted that they might move the franchise forward in some capacity. Characters were killed off, series favorites were allowed to grow older and have children, and it seemed like change was really happening. Even at the moment where Liu Kang rewrites history at the end of MK11: Aftermath, there seems to be the potential for more. Mortal Kombat 1, conversely, brings everything back around again.
