Injustice 2 Reviews
With its content-rich Multiverse mode and the boundless possibilities of the gear system, the thrilling Story experience, and the superlative game mechanics under the hood, Injustice 2 proves why NetherRealm are setting the pace for all fighting game developers.
Injustice 2 is not only the best game in its genre for some time, in a year that’s gifted us with some truly great games already; Injustice 2 in my opinion is a strong Game of the Year contender in 2017!
After loving ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ so much, I’d been eagerly anticipating Injustice 2. There was just this little part of me that was worried that it wouldn’t live up to the hype. You know what though? It exceeded all of my expectations, in turn providing one of the best fighting experiences I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing in my lifetime of gaming. I’m often guilty of riding high on a video game after I’ve enjoyed it, but everything about Injustice 2 is simply fine-tuned to perfection. The slick and accessible fighting mechanics, the fantastic roster made up of DC super heroes and villains, the addictive customisation options, the multiple game modes that offer something new every day, and the jaw dropping visuals – they all come together to create one of the finest fighting games that has ever been released.
Injustice 2 is an overall improvement compared to the first entry. The developers mastered making a video game that hardcore fighting game enthusiasts and casuals can both enjoy. NetherRealm Studios also continues its tradition of great storytelling.
Injustice 2 is Epic, thrilling, fuelled by power and extensive imagination. The game shows an alternative view on the heroes and the villains and some have swapped their roles which makes the story mode more intense than it actually is!
Injustice 2 does more of what made the first Injustice so popular - a meaty campaign, satisfying combat and a stack of extra content with the promise of more to come means that Injustice 2 is a fighting game that appeals to pros and newcomers alike.
Simply put, Injustice 2 is a landmark title and should be the blueprint for other fighting games to follow. The Multiverse mode and RPG-style gear are great for those that like playing the game solo, while online play is readily available for multiplayer fans. Adding the fun story, amazing visuals and accessible fighting system, it’s clear that this is a fighting game everyone should try.
Injustice 2 is a very good fighter with a strong roster, engaging story and tons of content to keep you playing long past the credits roll. It does fumble the implementation of its biggest new mechanic - The Gear System - but even with the poor audio design and imbalance within the roster, it still manages to be a damn good time.
Overall, Injustice 2 improves in nearly every aspect of its predecessor and is packed with so many things to do offline that it would probably take awhile for you to have an itch to go online. It has a very memorable story and it takes real skill to get the hang of this game. This game is enough to satisfy my fighting game needs for the rest of the year and it should probably be the same for almost everyone else.
The game does not leave anything to chance, and in addition to the almost four hours of enjoyable history, it has a truly multiplayer universe. The innovative modes introduced in this second chapter bring the game to almost total perfection, although the various changes that will bring NetherRealm to the Gear System during the various upgrades will be kept in mind.

t’s a solid all round beat em up with a lot of replayability and a lot of fun to be had.
Injustice 2 sinks its claws in deep and the story makes sure that you don’t want to go anywhere, even if you did try and pry them out.
All-in-all, Injustice 2 is a polished experience, one that highlights the professional and well-practiced craft of NetherRealm Studios. The developer takes their Mortal Kombat experience and gives Injustice 2 all they have in their arsenal. Astonishing graphics, flexible mechanics, quality story, and fitting audio make Injustice 2 riveting and addicting. If NetherRealm continues to put forth this much effort into future titles, such as any possible upcoming Mortal Kombat installments, the company will achieve heights far greater than they already have. Players who love fighting games and DC Comics fans will find coming across a better game almost impossible. The game’s well-rounded roster and fresh Gear System cater to different playstyles, and the ever-changing Multiverse, along with upcoming DLC, will keep Injustice 2’s heart beating for quite some time.
With Injustice 2 you get a feature-packed all around great fighting game. The new loot system integrates well with the rest and you will be pleased with the fast loading speeds and pretty graphics. If you are a fan of fighting games this is a must-have!
In short we can say that the PC version of Injustice 2 is made with extreme care. As we already knew the story mode is interesting, the challenges are different and the combat system is adequate; what scared us, given the precedents was the transposition of the title in terms of quality, not so much graphic, but technical. Fortunately, however, our doubts and our fears have been reassured by what is a very good porting that maintains an excellent graphic quality, accompanied by an adequate technical level. The title runs smoothly, without frame drops, always remaining on the fixed, but stable 60 FPS. Even the cutscenes are beautiful, although they lock at 30 FPS. In short, players on PC, if you are looking for a brawl on the DC Universe, with Injustice 2 you will certainly make a good choice!

The fighting genre has games and franchises for practically anyone’s tastes. But, the DC Universe has finally found its stride, creating one of my favorite experience out of the three games thus far.
Overall the game is one of or if not, the best fighting game of 2018, and you should definitely put this on your list. If you already have it? Then you're one of the lucky ones.
One of the best fighting games but is brought down quite a bit by microtransactions, stat-based gameplay, and more. Still, I love playing as superheroes and just beating someone up.
Injustice 2, for its few faults, is still incredible and brilliantly put together. Hurry up with Red Hood already.
Injustice 2 offers a lot of content, a great battle system, an interesting story mode and much more. Too bad that the NetherRealm Studios DLC policy has remained the same and there's only a few arenas. Despite this, Injustice 2 can be highly recommended, it's one of the best games on the market.
