Injustice 2
Developer: NetherRealm Studios | Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Mobile | Release Date: May 11, 2017| Age Rating: 16 and up
What is Injustice 2? Injustice 2 is a fighting game by the makers of “Mortal Kombat.” Its predecessor “Injustice: Gods Among Us” was released in 2013, starting a new era of fighting games.
In Injustice 2, you take on the role of DC heroes and can engage in classic good vs evil battles against each other. In addition to normal 1-on-1 fights, you can also complete various missions and play through a multi-hour campaign.
Who fights here? The entire DC universe comes to battle. A total of 38 fighters are available for selection. Whether it’s Batman, The Flash, or Superman, or the villains like the Joker or Harley Quinn. Less-known characters like Cheetah are also ready to fight. A DLC even introduced the Turtles and Hellboy.
Why fighting here is particularly good:
- Beginner-friendly due to relatively easy-to-memorize combat techniques
- The battle arenas also serve as interactive environments that you can use for your fight
- The story campaign lasts about 6 hours and promises, with elaborate cutscenes, a narrative that enhances immersion
- Regularly appearing challenges and DLCs give players something to do
- Through numerous modifications and equipment items, characters can be altered
- This type of customization is refreshing for the genre and motivates players
Who is Injustice 2 for? Especially fans of DC Comics and the DC movies will have fun. But also fans of story campaigns for single players will get their money’s worth. The story is cinematic and promises a spectacular narrative.
The recognizability of the characters is extremely high, and due to the various missions you need to complete, which have incredible depth, you often forget that the pure fighting is at the forefront.
The game is ideal for fighting beginners. The controls are quickly understood, and the campaign only gets harder over time. The learning curve in the game is low, and you can quickly get into the game. Therefore, the game is also great for quick matches between friends, even if one half has never played it before.
