    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.

    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.

    Injustice 2 continues NetherRealm’s tradition of best-in-class story modes with solid, complex fighting to back it up. Learning the ropes could just be a little more convenient. Buy it.

    Despite annoyances with the gear system and the loot boxes, Injustice 2 is a huge amount of fun. There's tonnes of stuff to do, it looks the part and the new fighting mechanics serve a purpose while deftly avoiding adding complexity. Injustice 2 is also a game I thoroughly appreciate for the lovely little touches. [Recommended]

    As a fighting game, it’s responsive, easy to learn with thick layers of complexity buried underneath. It’s a brilliant exercise in taking out your action figures and ramming them into each other until one of them breaks.

The addition of the gear system and premier skins is genius and a great way to promote diversity in the game.
    The story mode (although not as good as Injustice 1) was great!

    Absolutely phenomenal. This is a fantastic game. One of the best fighting games to date. Injustice 2 takes everything we loved from Gods AmongAbsolutely phenomenal. This is a fantastic game. One of the best fighting games to date. Injustice 2 takes everything we loved from Gods Among Us and brings it back to the PS4 and Xbox One even better than before, and takes everything we didn't like and overhauls it. The combo system is stellar, the graphics are great, the gameplay is addicting, and the new Gear System is fantastic. You will waste several days of your life collecting hundreds of pieces of gear for each character. This is the DC Universe game we've been waiting for. The story, by the way, it fantastic. I've been waiting so long to experience the second chapter of the Injustice saga, and Injustice 2 definitely delivers on my expectations. Buy this game. Now.… Full Review »
