These games are Mature for a reason, and they feature some truly gruesome gore not intended for all ages.
Gore in video games has always been a hot topic in the gaming community. During the era of classic games, the visual representation of gore was more pixilated. However, in recent times due to technological advancements, game developers have started to create well-detailed and realistic blood animations. To some gore is much more than just regular violence but also adds artistic value to the game.
In many games, gore can show a character’s motive, as well as bring out emotions to the scene. While some might appreciate this not everyone is a fan of gore as they might feel uncomfortable with the use of excessive violence. That is why this matter is subjective and comes down to every individual’s taste. 5 Mortal Kombat 1
Gore has been one defining characteristic of Mortal Kombat ever since the first game in the franchise came out. Mortal Kombat is the only fighting game to exist that focuses on fighting against the enemy in the most gruesome ways. The game includes features known as the Fatalities and Brutalities which involve dismembering, decapitating, or performing other gruesome actions. These features are available for every character in every Mortal Kombat game allowing the players to experience these graphically intense visuals.
Mortal Kombat’s inclusion of gore has sparked debates over the years when many people are not happy with the amount of blood portrayed in the game. However, the developers try to add new characters with varying gore effects while also not pushing beyond the boundary of what is acceptable.
