Mortal Kombat 1 is a fresh start for the long-running fighting game franchise. Building off the events of the previous game, a universal reboot has reset the timeline -- and all the fighters within it. As a result, the developers behind the scenes had a blank slate to experiment with. The result is a game that embraces new features to great effect all while maintaining those core elements that have always defined the series. The result is an experience that feels unique from previous entries in the series but still feels very much a part of that greater whole.
