Mortal Kombat 1 was released on September 19 to general critical praise, with the game’s Metacritic score currently sitting at 84 on consoles and 83 on PC.

VGC’s Mortal Kombat 1 review calls it “the best Mortal Kombat game to date”, awarding it a score of 5/5.

“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.”
