I played three towers with the game (Baraka, Kabal and Scorpion in that order).
Game feels natural and fluid. The most fluid MK yet. Indeed there is more emphasis on position and movement (I found myself missing my uppercuts and short punches way too often), but I loved the response of the characters (the first MK where the combos are sometimes fast enough to follow your fingers, unlike previous entries).
Presentation, graphics, music - everything is top notch.
Complaints: One nitpick. Unlike MKX, MK11 (so far) seems incapable of distinguishing character skins and have the appropriate dialogue. For example, as Scorpion I challenged Jade (Revenant skin) and the dialogue went like this:
Jade: You have fought alongside my revenant self.
Scorpion: She lacks your honor and skill.
Jade: Then she must be defeated.
This is SERIOUSLY wrong to hear when you are fighting revenant Jade. This dialogue should only be applied when fighting human Jade. I'm not 100% sure, but in MKX the human skins of Liu Kang and the others never had revenant dialogue.
A nitpick, but a game of such production values shouldn't have such mistakes.
Other than that, it's definitely going to be my favorite MK game. And probably fighting game too (sorry FighterZ).
