Injustice 2 Reviews
The most expansive solo experience we've seen in a fighting game, Injustice 2 compels you to master its fast-paced, combo driven combat.
Injustice 2 has built upon the original in every way and then added a whole host of content on top, setting a new standard for fighting games. The gear system alone adds a ton of depth allowing players to experiment with different builds for characters, and that keeps you coming back to the Multiverse or playing online. Injustice 2 has so much content to play around with, and if you enjoy fighting games or the DC Universe in general then this comes highly recommended.
Injustice 2 feels like a step up from Gods Among Us in every way imaginable. It's a far deeper experience, follows up wonderfully on the last game's story, and also gives reasons to keep coming back for repeat visits. The rich cast of fighters all have their own distinct styles, but they're all wrapped up in an easy-to-learn fighting system that's just plain fun to play. NetherRealm has a true grasp of what makes the DC Universe special and this game is as much of a love letter to that world as it gets.
Probably the best single-player experience ever in a fighting game, on top of being an extremely accessible and highly technical multiplayer brawler.
Injustice 2 is everything that a good fighting videogame should be. The story mode, even though it has a short duration, has a great plot and its characters have an amazing personality. The new customization feature is the best that NetherRealm could have done for this videogame.

But these fruits are soured by lazy, contrived storytelling, and a gear system that stands in opposition to what fighting games should be about. All of this ultimately makes Injustice 2 a step back not only from the original but also from the level of quality we're used to seeing from NetherRealm.
A game with its own personality, which offers good fighting for online lovers and also for those who want a great solo experience. Either you love DC characters or fighting games, you'll be more than satisfied.

A must have for DC fans, but also a very good beat'em up for everyone. If you liked the first Injustice, you'll love this.

Not content with just being a stylish and smart fighting game, Injustice 2 delves into deeper territory with a must-play story mode for DC fans and progression systems that'll keep players coming back for more.
Overall, Injustice 2 takes a strong fighting game, delivers an incredibly rewarding and lengthy single player that feels like a priority rather than a tacked on afterthought, and considerably increases the scope of the game by adding in a vast number of well made additional characters to the mix. Sure it hits the uncanny valley a bit, and I'm not keen on the loot boxes or their DLc plans, but it's hard to deny how much fun I had with the game at launch.
Injustice 2 may have the best single-player campaign of any fighting game. NetherRealm has hit a solid groove with their fighting games. A few new blocking mechanics help to add a touch more balance to the game's environmental damage options, and the loot system is second to none. Microtransactions are always a tricky issue with any game, but by sticking to cosmetic items, purchases using additional cash aren't necessary in order to get full enjoyment out of the game. Fighting game and DC fans alike should add this game to their collection as soon as possible.
A fantastic story mode, accessible controls, and a subtle RPG vibe has left our reviewer surprisingly enamoured of NetherRealms' sequel
NetherRealm and Warner Bros Studios have delivered a fantastic sequel with Injustice 2.
NetherRealm has completely knocked it out of the park with Injustice 2 once again.
This is another flourish of a fighting game that is big on style. There is a saunter and character to its roster, to its stages that fizz and crumble under the weight of battle, it is kinetic and fun and easy to get into. And it might just be your new favourite fighting game... even if you have never played one before.
All in all, Injustice 2 is surprisingly fantastic. Combat feels very weighty and satisfying, the graphics look incredible, characters look fascinatingly detailed and even the bass-heavy sound design is top notch. DC and fighter fans should definitely be giving Injustice 2 time. [Dave Aubrey separately reviewed the PS4 (8.4) and PC (8) versions. Their scores have been averaged]
Injustice 2 is easy to fall in love with. The super hero theme is as fun as the first installment, and everything else just seem better – including the online mode and the single player campaign.

In a nutshell, Injustice 2 is a beautifully crafted fighting game with a great balance between gameplay and story, while retaining that wonderful competitive flare of watching Batman and Superman go toe-to-toe with each other.
