The action feels more fluid and refined than ever, with tight chain combos and flashy special moves that can be combined in all kinds of creative and devastating ways. The Good FightĮven without its sweeping story mode and robust gear system, Injustice 2 would still be a damn good fighting game. Still, Multiverse mode is a ton of fun, endlessly replayable and yields lots of cool gear, and I'm already looking forward to checking in for new challenges for months to come.
Combine that with the fact that Multiverses rotate out on a weekly, daily and sometimes hourly basis, and there's a good chance that you won't be able to knock off every mission on a planet when you're just starting out.
You'll have lots of opportunities to earn rare gear, but you'll also run into lots of challenges that have specific character or level requirements. However, both the joys and frustrations of Injustice 2's RPG-inspired mechanics come into play here. Each alternate Earth is usually themed around a specific character, and the wild-looking versions of Catwoman, Scarecrow and Harley Quinn I've ran into truly looked like they were from another world. Multiverse mode is generally a blast, and it uses gear to great effect. On some Multiverses, I was able to call in Green Arrow or Robin for a quick assist on others, I was dodging environmental hazards while trying to beat down my enemy. The gear system feeds directly into Injustice 2's new Multiverse mode, which lets you take on a constantly rotating set of challenges that each have their own rules and rewards. Capcom Infinite: Why Our Money Is on DC Infinite Earths Still, if you're willing to put in the time, there's a ton of fun to be had mixing and matching pieces until you've crafted a character that's truly your own. These things are par for the course for your average role-playing game, but they might get annoying for more casual fans who want to give Green Lantern a cool purple suit right away. Injustice 2's new gear system adds an addicting layer of progression and personalization to the game. As a result, I felt somewhat discouraged from jumping between characters so that I could focus on leveling up one or two.
That means you'll often unlock an awesome Wonder Woman headpiece or epic Batman cowl, only to realize you'll need to spend hours getting them to level 20 to wear it. However, while the gear system is the most addicting aspect of Injustice 2, it can also be the most frustrating, if you're not patient.Įvery character in the game levels up individually, and you'll have to get them to a pretty high level to wear the best gear. There's a staggering amount of gear in the game, and it's unlikely that you'll run into a Batman or a Superman online that looks quite like yours. Seeing my Robin evolve from Boy Wonder to badass blue ninja over a few hours of play has been uniquely satisfying, and scratches that same itch that keeps me coming back to loot-based games like Destiny. Aside from some silly plot points and the occasional wonky facial animation, Injustice 2's story mode is the engrossing DC cinematic experience that Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad wish they could be. There were moments that made me pump my fist, cover my mouth in shock and simply smile as I watched a bunch of epic battle scenes play out.

Throughout the entirety of my time with the game's roughly 4-hour story, I was constantly in awe that NetherRealm managed to stuff such a great DC movie into its fighting game. Injustice 2's story mode is the engrossing DC cinematic experience that Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad wish they could be. Certain sections let you choose one of two characters prefight, which is a nice added touch that gives you a bit of influence over the game's cutscenes while letting you try as many fighters as possible. The game's stunning, lifelike cinematics seamlessly give way to playable fights, which let you sample a good portion of the game's huge cast throughout 12 chapters. This sets the stage for what's easily NetherRealm's best story mode yet, topping Mortal Kombat X's excellent campaign and demolishing anything DC has put in theaters lately.
