The latest boxed-video game charts have come through from the largest gaming market in Europe, the United Kingdom, and it is Mortal Kombat 1 which has shot straight to No.1. The ultra-violent fighting game sold best on PlayStation 5 and was followed by the Xbox Series X|S versions and finally the Nintendo Switch version, which had come under quite a bit of criticism. In other news the newly boxed bundle of Pikmin 1 & 2 HD arrived at No.4 and the soulslike Lies of P entered at No.3, despite being available on Xbox Game Pass. Here’s the GfK Boxed Top Ten for this week ending 23rd September, 2023:

I had hoped Cd Projekt Red would add a NG+ feature for Cyberpunk 2077 and increase the lvl cap by more then 10 lvl’s. I was debating on getting Phantom Liberty and checking out the 2.0 update that added Edgerunner collaboration content and easter eggs. The enemy a.i is scaled to the players lvl in the Phantom Liberty expansion, and the police are more aggressive. I just don’t feel like starting another play through just too experience the newly improved skills and perks.
