Injustice 2 received generally favorable reviews, according to Metacritic. Reviewers lauded Injustice 2's story and presentation. Eurogamer's Wesley Yin-Poole praised the game's narrative and visuals, describing them as "impressive" and a "significant step up" from Injustice: Gods Among Us. Injustice: Gods Among Us was praised for its wonderful and extremely DC fanboy-friendly story mode, and Injustice 2 is even better in this regard. The graphics have been upped for starters, and it’s the animation that’s truly extraordinary - the facial capture is perfect, lifelike, and fully expressive. The acting is great too, mixing veterans from the Justice League animated series with perfectly cast actors such as Robert Englund, Jeffrey Combs, and Alan Tudyk.

 

Aside from its roster, the main strength of Injustice 2 is the depth of its content. There’s a lavishly produced story mode that is sizeable and well-written. It does a significantly better job of telling a Batman vs Superman story than the movie and has a ludicrous amount of content. unlike the first game has plenty of opportunities to play more than one character. It even has an alternate “dark” ending. There are moments where rather convoluted events happen to provoke a fight, but then you remember you’re playing a fighting game and they kind of have to do that - believe me, it’s easy to forget.

 

Injustice 2 retains many game mechanisms in Injustice: Gods Among Us, including environment interaction, stage transitions, conflicts, and character features, but has made minor adjustments to the game mechanics. Injustice 2 introduces a new feature called Gear System, which is a loot drop system that can reward players with clothing and equipment that can be used to customize the appearance of characters and modify their abilities and statistics. The gear system uses an RPG-like mechanism to reward players for the experience and loot gained after each game.

 

Players can further enhance their basic attributes by equipping the equipment obtained from the loot drops, which also allows players to customize the appearance of their characters. Rare equipment can include one or more bonus enhancements, from new visual effects for special actions to higher game currency or experience value gains. There are three types of equipment: equipment, shaders, and abilities. Except for the random loot obtained at the end of the battle, all three types of equipment can be purchased in loot boxes, called "Mother Boxes", using in-game currency.

 

Players can buy "Source Crystals" using real-world money to purchase cosmetic adjustments for fighters, such as premier skins and shaders, instead of waiting to obtain them through normal play. Source Crystals can also be used to buy "Transform Gear". Transform Gear lets players apply the visuals of one piece of gear to another, allowing them to match their preferred stat modifiers with their preferred costume pieces. You can create some truly bizarre and outlandish creations with Gear and the shaders available, and that’s part of the fun of Injustice 2. But you can enjoy the game without spending money. Any purchases made with Source Crystals are just decorative and do not provide any game advantages.
