5. Mortal Kombat X
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, iOS, Android, Windows
Is it a cheat to have two Mortal Kombat games in this list? Maybe, but it does go to show just how good the series has become.
Building upon their innovations from their previous entry, Mortal Kombat X gives players more of what’s come before, but this time with a whole new original story and a host of new characters.
The game also gave players some great horror themed DLC characters, including Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, and both the Alien and Predator, all of which they managed to seamlessly fit in, in game-play, style and tone.
