However, it's difficult to remain engaged in a pretend ninja feud when every third match creaks like a shopping trolley dragged from a bog. Matches also inform an ongoing faction war: you pledge your allegiance to a familiar Mortal Kombat organisation, such as the Lin Kuei or Black Dragon, and your wins count towards a weekly faction ranking. There are stacks of competitive options, from standard player matches to winner-stays-on king of the hill. Much like the offline game, it's more frustrating because the ideas are so promising.

At least a third of my ranked matches choked and died, usually at the point things became interesting. TheyвЂ™re notable problems with an otherwise excellent game, and it makes the PC version feel under-optimised. More worryingly, I had trouble making it playable on a machine which met minimum specs only when I switched to a meatier PC could I enjoy the game to its fullest. While it runs at a buttery 60fps during fights, cutscenes and x-ray moves drop to 30fps. In fact, unlike Mortal Kombat 9 (or whatever it wasnвЂ™t called), thereвЂ™s no option to disable vsync in the menus-youвЂ™ll have dig into appdata or tinker with your graphics card. Screen tear is apparent even on high-end machines even with vsync seemingly activated. However, there are notable PC-specific problems. Like Injustice, they incorporate contextual attacks, but Mortal Kombat is better because it lets me throw old ladies at my enemies.

The x-ray moves are a highlight, full of detailed splintering spines and skulls which crack like own-brand Easter eggs. It looks as lovely as a game featuring sliced tongues and smashed brains can. This might frustrate some, but it made me experiment with every variation.

After five minutes spent trying to summon hellfire, worried I was messing up the combo, I discovered it wasnвЂ™t in the build IвЂ™d chosen.

Be prepared for minor changes to your favourite characters, though.
