Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is off to a rough start with a "Mixed" reception on Steam and the PlayStation version getting slammed for input lag issues.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is the latest documentary release from Digital Eclipse, akin to Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story and Tetris Forever (albeit, not officially a part of the studio's "Gold Master Series," but following that format). And, as someone who loves Mortal Kombat for its cultural impact and silly lore while also thinking a majority of the series' releases are pretty bad as fighting games (especially compared to what Capcom was putting out at the time), it's right up my alley. But after seeing the reaction online, I'm glad I've held off.
As reported by Push Square, the PlayStation 5 version – despite being the version available on the most powerful console available – is actually the worst off. Input lag tester Nigel Woodall tested Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on each platform, with PS5 having 108 milliseconds of input lag, which is pretty significant compared to 73 on Switch 2, 51 on Xbox Series X, and 22 on PC. However, despite the PC being the best platform when it comes to input lag, things aren't looking too hot there either.
At the time of writing, the collection has a "Mixed" reception on its Steam store page with users citing audio issues, the steep price point, bugs, and the rollback netcode – a solution that rolls back the game to account for inputs, as opposed to freezing the game and waiting when faced with connection issues, (which has quickly become the preferred online-play system for fighters) – apparently not working as intended.
