Playing a match, the only haptics you can feel is what side the character is taking damage - so, if they’re facing the left side and get hit in the front, you’ll feel the haptics only on the left side of the controller. In reality, it’s only the haptic feedback that needs tweaking. ![]() ![]() The biggest downside to the PS5 version of this game is the fact that it doesn’t make much use of the new controller. Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is fantastic, and I only really have one complaint to share, and that comes by way of the DualSense controller. She’s also got four sets of costumes and three different, each of which is just as intimidating as the other. Especially the mask, Mileena can opt for just about anything you could dream up for her (including, like other masked characters, going maskless), and each one of these will definitely intimidate whomever you’ll be versing. Players can unlock and customize her mask, gauntlet (which also changes her claws), or twin sai, and every single one of these looks amazing. As for her cosmetics, I’ll preface that she has the best out of the three new characters. For example, Mileena can teleport onto the opponent and launch a High attack, drop down into the splits like Johnny Cage and throw her twin sai, as well as launch a roll attack that pushes the opponent into the air to set up a juggle combo. She’s been in the MK series since MK II in 1993, and since then she’s developed a huge array of skills and abilities. Let’s start with the one and only Mileena. Are they good? Are they fun? Without a doubt, they’re amazing. While juicy visuals and great load times are… great, what about the actual content you’ll be playing? Well, since the story, the Aftermath DLC, and the Kombat Pack 1 have been out for a while I’ll be putting those aside to address the characters in the Kombat Pack 2. It really takes only a couple of seconds to jump into a match (and even less time selecting if you select a mode via the PS Home pop-up screen), and you can spend the rest of that time you made up taking in all those juicy visuals. But on the PS5, it runs amazingly and looks incredible. It definitely ran great on the PS4, and the visuals were insane. It’s kind of nuts how far the technology has come, and how much effort NetherRealm Studios has put into optimizing MK11 for the PS5. Jumping into a practice match, I can already see those improved load times in action. Phew, that’s enough of an overview and a marketing pitch, let me share my initial thoughts on the Ultimate edition. Plus, players on both consoles can play via the games’ “Krossplay” support (boy, does NetherRealm Studios love the letter ‘K’) Further alongside all of this is that MK11 Ultimate is Smart Delivery Enabled for the Xbox Series X|S, as well as provides a free PS5 upgrade for owners of the PS4 version - which includes 4K dynamic resolution, better visuals, and improved load times. This expansion also includes three playable characters Fujin, Sheeva, and RoboCop. The Aftermath Expansion is the series’ first story expansion, continuing the story of the main game. Those who have played Mortal Kombat before will recognize Mileena and Rain, while the 80s action movie buffs will enjoy the inclusion of John Rambo. In order to entice players, NetherRealm Studios have included the newly released Kombat Pack 2, which includes playable fighters Mileena, Rain, and Rambo. Since its March 2019 release date, NetherRealm Studios has been hard at work on keeping MK11 fresh and providing post-launch content in the form of “Kombat Packs” and the Aftermath Expansion. So, let’s preface this review with an overview of Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate. Games released the latest edition for MK11, I was intrigued. I’ve exhausted the content on MK11, played through the storyline (not the Aftermath Expansion, however), and racked up tons of wins (and losses) online. ![]() That being said, I have spent a huge number of hours on Mortal Kombat 11, but that’s mostly due to piggybacking off friends and playing split-screen with them. Although I have played each and every mainline Mortal Kombat game, I’ve spent more time with Mortal Kombat 9 and X. It’s the series to jump into if you want pure, unadulterated violence pitched in front of an amazing narrative. For me, the Mortal Kombat series has always been the definitive fighting experience.
