The best features of the series in one game
What makes Mortal Kombat 11 the best part of the series? According to the reviews on Steam, MK11 combines (almost) all of the best features of the series with a story praised by many players and the Krypt – a game mode where you unlock secrets and cosmetics.
Longtime fans may be wondering: “Wait, what about Mortal Kombat X?” The game is in a neck-and-neck race with MK11 regarding Steam reviews and is also very loved by many fans.
However, with 87%, MKX is rated slightly lower than MK11 and the graphics from 2015 have also aged worse. Nevertheless, MKX is still worth recommending for enthusiasts. The game costs only €4.99 on Steam, while the XL edition is €7.99.
What about Mortal Kombat 1? The latest installment of the MK series has been criticized by many fans due to expensive DLCs, the new Kameo feature, and the removal of the Krypt. However, those looking for a modern MK will be happy with MK11 as well – just keep in mind that you only get the fighters that already exist.
If you want to play MK11 online, this is possible due to the approximately 2,800 active players on Steam (via steamdb.info). However, many players report annoying desyncs – so check whether this is an issue for you. If it is, you can return the game on Steam within the first 2 hours.
If you instead play Mortal Kombat 11 on the Sony console, there’s good news as well: Owners of MK11 Ultimate for PS4 receive the upgrade for PS5 for free. Here you can find a list of all games that you can upgrade for free from PS4 to PS5.
