Two PlayStation 5 games are sitting at almost the same price, but they offer very different kinds of fun. One is a fighting collection built around a long-running series; the other is an open-world superhero adventure with a cinematic story. If you're trying to decide between them, the choice comes down to whether you want round-based kombat or free-flowing web-swinging action.
Quick verdict
If you love one-on-one fighting games and want a collection that arrives ready to play, go with the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection. If you want a story-driven adventure where you play as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 is the stronger fit.

Product notes
Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection - PlayStation 5
The Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection for PlayStation 5 is the fighting-focused option in this pairing. It's listed as Like New with the feature "New and Unplayed," so the copy feels fresh even though it isn't Brand New. The genre tags cover both Action/Adventure and Fighting, meaning you get a mix of story-driven action and one-on-one combat in a single collection. If you're after a game to play through arcade-style battles and explore a legacy of fighters, this is the one. The main limitation is the condition: Like New is not the same as a sealed, Brand New copy, so collectors who value that untouched state should factor that in. Also, this is a fighting game first, so the pace is round-based and matchup-driven, not the free-roaming exploration you'd get from an open-world adventure.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 PlayStation 5 Video Game
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 is the brand-new, story-first alternative. The listing clearly marks it as Brand New and a Standard Edition, and the description goes deep on the dual-hero setup: you switch between Peter Parker and Miles Morales, use Symbiote powers and bio-electric Venom abilities, and take on Venom, Kraven, and Lizard. It also highlights PS5-specific features such as Web Wings for faster traversal, ultra-fast loading, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback, which makes swinging through Marvel's New York feel more immersive. The Teen rating, in-game purchases, and DLC support are all listed, so you know what you're getting into. The trade-off is that the campaign is built around solo narrative progression and open-world exploration. If your goal is a quick local versus fighter, this isn't that.
Final choice by use case
At $24.49, the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection is the pick for fighting-game fans and anyone who wants a collection that's ready to play. At $25.99, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is the pick for superhero story lovers who want a complete PS5 adventure with dual playable heroes. With only about a dollar and a half between them, the real decision is whether you want to settle a score in kombat or swing across an expanded Marvel's New York taking on Venom and Kraven.
