It doesn’t matter how much extra content you add if the base game’s issues haven’t been addressed. When you strip all of the bells and whistles off of Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate Edition, you are still left with a painfully mediocre fighting game with a horrendous monetization system. Sure the fighting may be fun in short bursts, and the gore factor may be fun eye candy, but this game felt as though it didn’t have any care put into it outside of the basic fighting controls.

Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is the definitive edition to own if you don't already own the game and post-launch content. However, running off a PS5, the improved load times and graphical enhancements are amazing and necessary. It's a highly optimized game that feels like it was made for the new generation of consoles. The ability to launch within seconds from the main menu into a match is a technical marvel of itself. It's definitely the Mortal Kombat 11 version to purchase if you want to own all the post-launch content from the get-go.

Despite its grindy economy system, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate offers hours of engaging content, including the meaty and enticing story mode. While not quite as deep as some of the Japanese fighters out there, the new additions to the combat make it a joy and thrill to play.

Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is the perfect definitive edition that the gaming industry should take as standard. New story elements, thirteen new characters and a lot of additional aesthetic content allows the fun to be prolonged without harming the players of the original version. Anyway, if you're enthusiastic about the 90's fighting franchise, MK11 Ultimate is a must-have for your library.

Mortal Kombat has never been better. It blends gameplay from all past generations and adds new elements into a potent and bloody mix. The Fatalities are as gruesome as you’d expect, the fighting mechanics are extremely satisfying and a well-thought-out story mode elevates it into the top tier of fighting games. It’s been in my weekly rotation for over a year and seems like it will hold the spot! Flawless Victory!

Constant improvements make this a solid, content-packed, spectacular game. If you bought previous DLCs along the months, you might not see a huge improvement, but if this is your first MK 11 experience, get ready for a blast. A great way to start fighting in the new generation of consoles.

Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is an excellent bundle offering all of the content released for the game. Great graphics, fun fighting and enjoyable story are just some of the aspect that make the game the best fighting game on the market. It's just a shame that even the Ultimate edition doesn't include the movie skins.

Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is not only one of the best eighth-generation titles, but also one of the best fighting titles ever made; And it will probably remain one of the best games of its genre for many years to come. Well-made gameplay, good sound and music, and great visual effects, along with the rich and varied content of the game, make MK 11 a unique and addictive work that shines among the titles of its genre.

Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is a fantastic collection and the definitive way to experience this title, particularly on the new consoles where it runs smoother (and is far gorier) than ever. Even on older hardware it still shines. While day one players who have already accrued the majority of the included content will have less incentive to splash the cash on the Ultimate edition, it stands as an impressive catalogue to the achievements of NetherRealm over the past year and a half. If you haven't played it yet, now is the best time to dive in. If you have, here above are all your reasons to dial back into the experience.

Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is the definitive package (so far) of one of the best fighting games released in recent years. Rain, Mileena and Rambo are welcome additions. It's great that the PS5 version exists, but it doesn't offer much beyond the improved loading – which wasn't bad on the PS4.

Still, back on point, if you haven’t already invested in Mortal Kombat 11, this Ultimate edition is a steal. For the price of the base game just over a year and a half ago you get the full package, which includes two great story campaigns, 37 customisable fighters and a whole lot more. Its combat might not be as fluid or enjoyable in action as the latest Street Fighter or Tekken, but it makes up for it elsewhere. As fighting games go, none are more generous than Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, especially when it comes to single-player content. None are gorier, either.

With the inclusion of the season pass characters such as Rambo and Rain, in addition to the added Aftermath campaign, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is deserving of its moniker and a worthy upgrade over its initial release.

Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate offers everything that MK11 gave up plus all of the DLC plus a few new characters. It's perfect for those who played the original and want to continue their experience on a next-gen console but even better for those who only played the base game or haven't played it yet at all!
