Injustice 2 is a fine game. It's basic enough for newcomers to pick up and play but still has depth for experienced players to explore. The story mode is the best in the fighting game genre and really warrants more. However the whole experience is crushed by an experiment to bring mobile game style random bullshit into console games and ultimately makes the game forgettable once something else comes along.

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.

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 is a very solid fighting game that has not changed a whole lot mechanically from the last offering. Visually it is a step forward, but the narrative is a step back. I cannot entirely share the feeling that this is going to be a title that is meant to milk out additional money via a combination of microtransactions and DLC, which is a bit of a turnoff, but the variety of modes and quality roster do help to take the sting out of that, because there is already so much content available.

Incremental gameplay changes and an unnecessary complex Gear System make Injustice 2 a game that's entertaining, if safe. It's not as bad as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but it's not The Dark Knight either.

If you are a fan of the world of DC, this is a game you do not have to miss, if you want a combat game that has a distinctive story and characters with visual and creative visual skills, you will have this game and of course there is a joker to satisfy the arrogance of all DC lovers

A solid fighting game with a good story and an excellent amount of content. But not as good as other fighting games gameplay wise.

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.

Injustice 2, for its few faults, is still incredible and brilliantly put together. Hurry up with Red Hood already.

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.

Injustice 2 packs a powerful meaty punch and has enough content crammed into its superhero trunks to put a lot of its genre sharing peers to shame. NetherRealm has delivered a satisfyingly robust package that tightens up and expands on pretty much every aspect that made its predecessor so great, while remaining true to the DC source material, and making a game that looks, sounds, and plays incredibly well.

All in all, Injustice 2 is a solid follow-up to the original. It has a few flaws and stumbles on the story, but they don't add up to more than a slight blemish. The gameplay is fun, it looks awesome, and there's more than enough content to justify a purchase even for casual fighting game fans. If you're looking for an excuse to have Batman and Superman punch each other in the face, Injustice 2 fits the bill.

An enjoyable game for veterans and newcomers alike, with a fun fighting system and a treasure trove of content and the ability to customize the game to your liking. Not all characters offered here are necessarily well known or even appealing, but the plethora of options offered makes up for that to an extent.

Injustice 2 is a solid game with beautiful characters and interesting fighting mechanics. The hunt for loot is real, and some may be put off by the microtransactions, but it's clear that NetherRealm hasn't lost a step.

Injustice 2 is a fantastic experience for DC Comics fans. Unfortunately, as a fighting game, it turns up poorly and mediocre due to imbalanced gameplay.
