Let's start with the combat, since the days of MKX it has not changed in principle, except that XRay was replaced with Fatal Blow (If there is little health left, you can use a special move after seeing a bloody beating of the enemy), and one single bar for special moves and XRay was replaced with two bars to enhance attack and defense (like dodge).
There are 25 characters, and 6 more - Kombat Pack, added character customization, etc. minor changes.
The plot is also great, I advise you to go through it, I think it will suit you.
Crypt, that’s what I want to point out, but I didn’t expect to see crypt from a third party. For the first time in my life, I was able to run around Shang Tsuna's island, opening chests, visiting the dining hall and visiting places from the MK movie. Compared to other parts, two new currencies were added to the crypt: hearts (given for fatalities, brutalities), and souls (given for various actions), coins, of course, remained.
There are towers of time containing a bunch of towers that you can go through alone, and some in co-op with a friend. There you can also play for the new DLC character for free, try it out, and get a couple of cool things for him.
In general, it’s good, definitely worth taking, but from the minuses I’ll single out one single piece of shit (I apologize for the expression), People only play for the characters at the top of the tier list, that is, 90% of the players are Scorpions, Lukens , sub-zero. For example, I have never met Geras in multiplayer matches simply because he is bad as a character.
