Mortal Kombat 11: 10 Reasons It's NetherRealm's Best Game Ever

There's an interesting comparison to be made between the customization in MK11 and the game that came before it, Injustice 2.

Certainly, Injustice 2 offers a far greater level of customization, but it doesn't really allow for set costumes. In contrast, MK11 has set outfits, whilst also giving players the opportunity to customize certain parts of the outfit. What is the better system is up to personal preference. Both are solid.

MK11 does outshine Injustice 2 in one area though, and that's variety. On top of the costumes and gear, MK11 also has a vast selection of intos and outros for players to chose from, alongside a great amount of taunts that play when a round is won. All of these make the player feel like their version of Scorpion is unique to them.

The ability to create your own custom variation also has to be mentioned. This helps to further add to the uniqueness of your chose character, while also added a layer of tactics. Perhaps one of your variations has a focus on zoning, while another is all rush-down, picking between the two at the beginning of an online match then becomes far more of a tactical decision.
