Our take on Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection
The emphasis on Mortal Kombat’s legacy and archival material may overshadow the collection’s central scope: early games, selected home versions, and rare releases. The documentary, timelines, and interviews add context, but they do not replace the format of revisiting older fighting-game releases.
