After the trailers shown at the Mortal Kombat 11 reveal event, one thing that had been made clear was that Mortal Kombat had, appropriately, dialed the gratuitous and bloody violence past 10 and up to 11. Play enough video games and you will inevitably become desensitised to nearly all grotesqueries. The developers at NetherRealm Studios, however, find delight in making even this audience wince with Mortal Kombat’s monstrous Fatal Blows, ridiculous counters and infamous Fatalities.

The footage below is of the very first few matches myself and fighting game aficionado Andi Hamilton played, so do forgive the scrubby performance (from one of us, anyway). However, the footage does showcase my favorite part of MK11, which is how quickly it can be picked up. By the third match you’re dodging projectiles, teleporting behind your opponent, smashing their head into a car and generally feeling about as badass as you look. Then you both stand 5 feet apart and repeatedly try to punch one another whilst out of range. It’s still a learning process. We haven’t got enough time to check the moves list.
