  • Fighting
  • Local versus
  • Gore

Mortal Kombat fights with character variations you customise, Fatalities and lots of gore. It has a cinematic time-travel story, towers with each fighter's ending, the Krypt on Shang Tsung's island and online play.

Why play it now

When you have someone on the sofa for local versus, or an afternoon for Story mode, which takes about five hours.

Who it's for

For newcomers to fighting games: reviews praise its tutorials, which run from the basics to advanced play.

When not to pick it

If you hate grinding: unlocks are slow, and the Krypt and Towers of Time need a connection.
