Pros
Pro Character models are photorealistic
Each character of the Injustice 2 cast look true-to-life, giving the impression that the player is controlling a real person instead of only a video game character. The sheen on Batman's armor in the light, Harley Quinn's menacing, but playful smirk, and the fluid movement of Superman's cape as he fights: these details are all stunningly recreated with photorealistic quality, making the game feel like an extension of the blockbuster films.
Pro Wide selection of characters and playstyles
With the base roster including nearly 30 characters, along with over a dozen additional DLC options, both fans of the superhero genre and newcomers to the universe will find a fighter that they enjoy. Catwoman's acrobatics, the slash of her claws and the crack of her whip are all unique to her, while Poison Ivy throws out clever traps to ensnare her enemies and deal powerful damage to them. From Aquaman to Wonder Woman, there are a ton of choices and different playstyles to pick from.
Pro Combat has a high skill-ceiling
For players looking to truly master combat with their favorite Injustice 2 characters, they'll have hours of practice to look forward to in perfecting long strings of combos. The tutorial only gives the bare basics of the game's fighting system; it's up to the player to discover Injustice 2's true potential. Getting the timing down for the 20+ button inputs for certain combos and finishers may sound daunting to some, but for those looking for a challenge in a fighting game, this is the perfect fit.
Pro Loot-based character customization
Playing through the Multiverse pits players against enemies on various planets with different challenges. Successful completion of these challenges earns a wide range of customizable gear, in-game credits, and more. The Epic Gear sets are the most sought-after rewards, with stats and upgrades that power up characters for high-level play. There are endless amounts of obtainable loot from the many Multiverse battles, along with limited-time events and exclusive rewards that will entice players to come back for more challenges.
Cons
Con The story isn't great
With an overly grim plot that builds up to a conclusion with too many unexplained details, it's difficult to get invested in Injustice 2's story. Things are far too dark for the sake of it, with the plot trying too hard to be serious and interesting. Although the story is a more traditional superhero tale than the first Injustice game, there isn't much to praise with the writing.
Con Microtransactions
Injustice 2 includes microtransactions to get around the grind of leveling up characters, as well as options to purchase skins and other items. Microtransactions are harmless when they're limited to cosmetic options; implementing them for progression in a retail-priced game is unnecessary.
