Mortal Kombat 1 is out now for early access players, and critics have also started releasing their reviews of the latest mainline game in the Mortal Kombat series. Early impressions look good, with most reviews suggesting the game is one of the best Mortal Kombat games in years--if not ever.

The somewhat confusingly named Mortal Kombat 1 is actually the 12th game in the series, and is designed as a soft reboot for the franchise, taking place in an alternate universe to previous games. Due to a short review period and the impressive scope of the game, many outlets including GameSpot have yet to release their reviews, or have published a review in progress.

Enough reviews are now available for the game to be scored on Metacritic, with the PS5 version of Mortal Kombat 1 currently sitting at 86. With many reviews yet to be released this score is likely to change, with the other platform versions of the game also unscored at present. You can check out some of the early reviews below.
