The texture of Mortal Kombat in the mainstream has always played clean even though the video games themselves were, many times, extremely violent. But older video games as they were done could make it a little more palatable. The new "Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpions Revenge" pulls the gloves off in a great way.

"Onward" works well and bring in textures of mythology but within the context of a modern world. It is intrinsic but, despite the quest motif, almost seems smaller than one would expect.
