Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition vs V Rising: which should you buy?

Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition is an older fighting game with simpler graphics and low PC requirements, ideal for Filipino gamers on budget PCs who enjoy 2D fighters and local multiplayer. It has a higher Metacritic score (82) and community rating (4.1/5). V Rising is a newer action-adventure MMO with modern visuals, demanding a much stronger PC (Core i5, 12GB RAM, GTX 1070 recommended). It offers online co-op and an open-world survival experience. If you have a low-end PC and prefer arcade fighting, get MK. If you have a capable gaming rig and want a persistent world with friends, choose V Rising. Note: V Rising currently only on PC, while MK also on consoles. Both have about 7-hour average playtime. Price data is missing, but MK being older and often discounted is likely cheaper in the Philippines.
