Even then I am not sure, if it can keep up the wonder and horror. It will work only so many times.

I would love to experience the sequel like I did the original, but not sure if it is repeatable.

Could you explain what this community was about?

I thought Mortal Kombat 1 was a good introduction to the series for me. The cinematic story is a banger in the first 2 thirds, and the final part is weak, but doesn’t break its neck.

And for quite some hours I had a lot of fun just playing it. However the gameplay will not hold up past the 2 week honeymoon phase, with all the bugs, pricing, always online and truly awful invasion mode, which is the core single player experience next to the story.

So it depends what you expect of it, other fighting games are just better in many aspects.
