In other words, my evaluation already starts from a biased point. However, there were some that gave me a lot of pleasure (SoulCalibur III, Tekken 3, etc.). Sadly, this is not the case with Injustice. And that's saying something, because as an unconditional DC fan, I would have loved to love it. But it really didn't work out. Let's get to the arguments. First, the graphics. I know that for 2013 it was quite advanced, but the choice for a type of square realism seemed terribly ugly to me, nothing is saved, everything looks... horrible. Then comes the plot. It's not bad, but it's nothing innovative. The problem is that the fact that it is something quite banal only gets worse with the game's art. Finally, the gameplay. When you think about the fighting games before this one, or its contemporaries, like Killer Instinct (released in the same year), there is no excuse. It's heaaaaaavy, not intuitive at all, and boring as heck. What a shame, because there was a lot of potential, even for those who are not fans of the genre. The transition between maps is kind of cool, and Scorpion rocks. Other than that... So no, I can't recommend it.
