Geras, the terror of online play in Mortal Kombat 11, is finally getting a nerf that looks to scale his power back significantly.

Mortal Kombat 11 is one of the best fighting games released in ages – and that’s coming from me, somebody who’s not much of a Mortal Kombat fan. There’s a point in the series history where it just fell off a cliff for me, and that was sometime around the release of Mortal Kombat III.

These, are the best sequels of 2019.

Fisticuffs! Glorious competition, settled on a stage between two individuals who are ready to put everything on the line to see who’s the best. In many ways, fighting games are the essence of competition boiled to its purest form and unleashed with all manner of face-melting techniques that favour the skilled. 2019 may not have been bursting at the seams with fighting games, but what entries there were in this cult favourite genre were some of the best excuses ever to throw down a gauntlet and pick a fight online.
