Overview

Daniel played Mortal Kombat 11 on the Nintendo Switch Lite, skipping the tutorial due to childhood familiarity with earlier franchise games on the Sega Mega Drive.

Daniel browsed the roster for characters such as Raiden, Johnny Cage, Jax Briggs, Noob Saibot, and the Terminator, while expressing a preference for fighting franchises like Dead or Alive and Soulcalibur.

Facing menu navigation difficulties, delays, and opponents declining matches, Daniel played and won two online matches—the first as Raiden and the second as Sub-Zero—by button mashing without knowing combo or fatality inputs.

Daniel, having purchased the game on sale for around £20, rated Mortal Kombat 11 a 4 out of 10, complaining about excessive menus and prolonged loading screens.
