Injustice 2 is NetherRealm at its very best. It's a game that succeeds not just as a great fighting game, but a superlative superhero one. An accessible yet deep fighting system, an engaging and cinematic single player campaign, a rewarding loot system, and a wealth of content. Injustice 2 has it all.

Injustice 2 is both a fantastic fighting game and a great use of the DC licence, too. You won't find much better in the genre on either the Xbox One or PS4.

While the multiplayer aspects of Injustice 2 are lacking, it still manages to be an incredibly strong fighting game title that is worth checking out, even if you've never picked up a DC comic in your life.

Featuring a diverse cast of characters, Injustice 2 manages to provide a great time for both fighting game fans and those who love comic books. Its feature set is among the best in the genre, and fans have plenty of reasons to keep playing even after the story ends.

Netherrealm and WB Games pack a new Injustice, and it's more powerful, big and epic then ever. It would have been enough to follow the footsteps of great successes like the latest Mortal Kombat, but it's not like this: Injustice 2 is not a simple reskin with the characters borrowed from the DC Universe, it's a brand that finally reaches its completeness, it's dignity, and now is able to earn a first place in the world of Beat'em up for the general public.

Injustice 2 is a great sequel for Gods Among Us. NetherRealm Studios took a pretty safe road with this title in terms of gameplay mechanics, but the little changes they made work perfectly. A great story, good loot box system and a solid multiplayer, makes this experience worthwhile.

All in all, Injustice 2 is one seriously impressive package. NetherRealm has never shied away from packing their fighting games with lots of content for players to sink their teeth into and this latest installment is no different.

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.

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.

Injustice 2 is a fighting game that's accessible to anyone, but also deep enough for veteran fighting fans. An incredible step up from Gods Among Us in practically every way possible, it successfully leverages heaps of content and a strong roster with tight and fast fighting mechanics. Gear pushes customization without sacrificing balance, and both Multiverse and Online modes keep Injustice 2 interesting no matter how you play.

The good folks at NetherRealm Studios made this fighting game much more than it should have been. They have essentially created an enjoyable balance between story, multiplayer and online experiences. The story mode is incredibly immersive, the multiplayer is teeming with a richer gameplay experience, including multiverse, which mixes familiar comic storylines with the fighting gameplay core, and the online modes are just as good as you want them to be. Nothing seems like a filler. If they could get rid of the microtransaction for Darkseid, then it will be a complete circle of near perfection. Until then, it's a great game.

This sequel is far more than a fighter. It's a love letter to DC's heroes and villains

It is the lightest possible complaint to say that I had a great time with a videogame, and I have already ordered the PS4 version of the first game to go back and play. I've also read the first year of the tie-in comic book to find out more about this weird fork universe of DC Comics. I guess I'm now waiting for Injustice 3 to come out. I need to know what's up with Swamp Thing and the wild world of a nature worth fighting for.

With NetherRealm firing on all cylinders, Injustice 2 is not just a great looking comic book fighting game, but it's also a remarkably deep, gratifying and consistently entertaining one too. The gear system is great too, ensuring you'll be playing for months on end. A triumphant return for DC's heroes and villains.

Injustice 2 is by far the best fighting game this year, and may very well be the best fighting game on PC.

Fights with a popping staccato rhythm, and capes-galore to unlock.
