At any given second a hero could be punched through a pyramid, thrown into space, or mauled by Harley Quinn’s hyenas. The fighting is once again a ridiculous show of power. You won’t find much to think about in this narrative other than if Green Arrow’s dad jokes could be any worse, but that's part of its charm – this experience focuses on the powers of the heroes more than what's going on inside of their heads. The story is as much fun to watch as the game is to play, maintaining a bombastic assault on the senses from start to finish. The level of detail in the character models is impressive, as is the framing of the action – particularly in a sequence that pits The Flash against Reverse Flash. NetherRealm delivers dumb fun in this story, which unfolds through lengthy sequences filled with epic fights, witty banter, and layer upon layer of fan service. The lurking fear of Superman being freed from his prison is a nice plot thread that adds a layer of uncertainty to the arc, but almost every sequence boils down to “everyone fights everyone.” Brainiac, a space traveler intent on destroying Earth, can control anyone’s will, and has forged his own army of familiar faces. This sequel instead takes the more clichéd angle of uniting heroes and villains to stop an intergalactic threat. Although penned as a direct continuation to the original game and comic series, no moment is as shocking as Superman ripping out the Joker’s heart the tone also isn't as dark. Injustice 2 doesn’t reach the same level of narrative intrigue as its predecessor, but remains enjoyable for an entirely different reason. Injustice 2 once again delivers knockout blows with its super-powered story and fighting, but finds a third way to entertain through an addictive collecting component. NetherRealm Studios’ 2013 fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us also balanced duality, finding success as a fun fighting experience coupled with a popular story. Most of DC Comics’ heroes lead double lives, all in an attempt to blend into society as seemingly ordinary people who don capes and masks when trouble arises. The last survivor of Krypton and the reporter. I don’t want to spend $60 for the opportunity to spend hundreds more.The Caped Crusader and the billionaire. If you want to know why people are getting turned off of buying AAA titles, here’s why. Now, Injustice 2 is letting you unlock an almost limitless combination of stuff for however much money your fiscal irresponsibility lets you spend. There was a point of extreme hesitations when Mortal Kombat X allowed you to unlock all of the Krypt for $20.
My hesitation comes from the general trend towards more microtransactions in these games. The excellent story, diverse play option, and stellar visuals all atop a polished fighting system means I’m glued to my couch for at least a weak. The inclusion of Captain Cold also tickled my “Legends of Tomorrow” bone, and I similarly enjoyed seeing Atrocitus in action. It’s fundamentally satisfying for the meganerd in me to be able to duke it out between Gorilla Grodd and Swamp Thing.

My overall opinion of Injustice 2 is very positive, but mostly because the series has yet to wear out its welcome. Compared to the 28 base characters of Injustice 2, the present Injustice: Gods Among Us combines the base roster of 24 with the DLC roster of 6 for a total of 30. It’s also a hard sell compared to the complete Injustice: Gods Among Us package that you can get right now for just $30. It’s an excellent formula, but compared to the multiple styles and fatalities of Mortal Kombat X I find it a hard sell. You still have the clashes, the super moves, combo moves, special meter burns, and no fatalities. Compared to the first, it basically does the same thing with (mostly) different characters. Now I’m sure that some expert can come along and tell me that the hit/dodge frames have been perfected/destroyed into absolute trash tier, but I have yet to do that research. From that perspective, this game is not a major improvement over the first. I can win online, but as soon as a juggle combo that requires an air escape meter burn to get out of goes off my eyes glaze over and I put the controller down. I’ll get good enough to figure out most of the characters, but nowhere near an EVO level player. How is the actual fighting? Well, I’m what you would describe as a middling fighting game player. Now the story is great, but this is a fighting game. Way more intimidating than his name implies.
