“Probably the best single-player experience ever in a fighting game, on top of being an extremely accessible and highly technical multiplayer brawler.”

9/10
“The unrivaled amount of single-player content to explore, especially the highlight Multiverse mode, and the height of Injustice 2’s skill ceiling make it an easy environment in which to lose hours of your day without ever even challenging another human… or giant telekinetic gorilla, as it were.”

| 3DNews | Алексей Лихачев | 9 / 10 | 05-26-2017 | Parade of new tricks, great loot system, huge attention to detail and engaging Multiverse mode are the reasons why you want to come back to Injustice 2, again and again. Everything here was made with huge love to DC comics (and probably with huge budget too). This fighting game is great for everyone: for newcomers who never ever heard about comic books, for DC enthusiasts, and for fans of the genre. | Read review |

| Arcade Sushi | Luke Brown | 9 / 10 | 05-24-2017 | There have been a number of fantastic fighting games featuring comic heroes and villains over the years, but few have been as addictive, fun, and well-made as NetherRealm Studios’ latest dip into the DC Comics pool. | Read review |
| Areajugones | Javi Mañas | 8.5 / 10 | 05-18-2017 | Injustice 2 is everything that a good fighting videogame should be. The story mode, even though it has a short duration, has a great plot and its characters have an amazing personality. The new customization feature is the best that NetherRealm could have done for this videogame. | Read review |
| Ars Technica | Steven Strom | Recommended | 05-22-2017 | Injustice 2 continues NetherRealm’s tradition of best-in-class story modes with solid, complex fighting to back it up. Learning the ropes could just be a little more convenient. Buy it. | Read review |
| Atomix | Alberto Desfassiaux | 85 / 100 | 05-15-2017 | Injustice 2 is a great sequel for Gods Among Us. NetherRealm Studios took a pretty safe road with this title in terms of gameplay mechanics, but the little changes they made work perfectly. A great story, good loot box system and a solid multiplayer, makes this experience worthwhile. | Read review |
| Attack of the Fanboy | William Schwartz | 5 / 5 stars | 05-24-2017 | Not content with just being a stylish and smart fighting game, Injustice 2 delves into deeper territory with a must-play story mode for DC fans and progression systems that’ll keep players coming back for more. | Read review |
| CGMagazine | Phil Brown | 9 / 10 | 05-25-2017 | Injustice is back and good lord is it ever a blast. | Read review |
| Cheat Code Central | Jason Messer | 4.5 / 5 stars | 05-18-2017 | Injustice 2 isn’t the best fighting game I’ve ever played, but it’s probably my favorite in recent memory. That says a lot, considering some greats released in 2017. | Read review |
| COGconnected | Erin Soares | 91 / 100 | 05-23-2017 | There is nothing else that quite compares to the excitement and joy you feel after stringing a bunch of moves together, making an epic combination, and kicking the big-bad to smithereens! | Read review |
| Critical Hit | Kervyn Cloete | 9 / 10 | 11-29-2017 | Injustice 2 is NetherRealm at its very best. It’s a game that succeeds not just as a great fighting game, but a superlative superhero one. An accessible yet deep fighting system, an engaging and cinematic single player campaign, a rewarding loot system, and a wealth of content. Injustice 2 has it all. | Read review |
| Cubed3 | Gareth Fidler | 8 / 10 | 06-11-2017 | Injustice 2 packs a powerful meaty punch and has enough content crammed into its superhero trunks to put a lot of its genre sharing peers to shame. NetherRealm has delivered a satisfyingly robust package that tightens up and expands on pretty much every aspect that made its predecessor so great, while remaining true to the DC source material, and making a game that looks, sounds, and plays incredibly well. | Read review |
| Cultured Vultures | Ashley Bates | 9 / 10 | 05-25-2017 | With its content-rich Multiverse mode and the boundless possibilities of the gear system, the thrilling Story experience, and the superlative game mechanics under the hood, Injustice 2 proves why NetherRealm are setting the pace for all fighting game developers. | Read review |
| Daily Dot | AJ Moser | 4 / 5 stars | 05-22-2017 | Injustice 2 gives ample reason to check back almost daily, whether to strengthen an individual character or progress your guild’s reputation. With a solid story mode and comprehensive tutorials, it never once feels like the fighting mechanics are too difficult to grasp. While it may not be the most technically impressive or competitive fighting game ever made, Injustice 2 surely is one of the most accessible and difficult to put down. | Read review |
| Daily Mirror | Aodhan Gregory | 5 / 5 stars | 05-23-2017 | In a nutshell, Injustice 2 is a beautifully crafted fighting game with a great balance between gameplay and story, while retaining that wonderful competitive flare of watching Batman and Superman go toe-to-toe with each other. | Read review |
| DarkZero | Dominic Sheard | 9 / 10 | 05-31-2017 | Injustice 2 is a bigger, better, more beautiful follow up to Gods Among Us that improves on the irks of the first game to make it a polished fighter. | Read review |
| Destructoid | Nic Rowen | 9 / 10 | 05-24-2017 | At the same time, if you’re an enthusiast fighter and want a competitively viable game with a lot of depth to explore, Injustice 2 makes a strong case for itself. It’s the full package in a market filled with fighters that have come out half-cooked. I plan on savoring it for months to come. | Read review |
| Digiato | Pouria Daneshvar | 90 / 100 | 05-29-2017 | Injustice 2 is a fantastic game for everyone. This Amazing sequel offers a deep gameplay experience for fighting games enthusiasts but also welcomes casual players. | Read review |
| Digital Chumps | Nathaniel Stevens | 9.5 / 10 | 12-20-2016 | The good folks at NetherRealm Studios made this fighting game much more than it should have been. They have essentially created an enjoyable balance between story, multiplayer and online experiences. The story mode is incredibly immersive, the multiplayer is teeming with a richer gameplay experience, including multiverse, which mixes familiar comic storylines with the fighting gameplay core, and the online modes are just as good as you want them to be. Nothing seems like a filler. If they could get rid of the microtransaction for Darkseid, then it will be a complete circle of near perfection. Until then, it’s a great game. | Read review |
| Digital Trends | Steven Petite | 4.5 / 5 stars | 05-23-2017 | The most expansive solo experience we’ve seen in a fighting game, Injustice 2 compels you to master its fast-paced, combo driven combat. | Read review |
| Digitally Downloaded | Nick H. | 3.5 / 5 stars | 05-26-2017 | Injustice 2 is a very solid fighting game that has not changed a whole lot mechanically from the last offering. Visually it is a step forward, but the narrative is a step back. I cannot entirely share the feeling that this is going to be a title that is meant to milk out additional money via a combination of microtransactions and DLC, which is a bit of a turnoff, but the variety of modes and quality roster do help to take the sting out of that, because there is already so much content available. | Read review |
| DualShockers | Tomas Franzese | 9 / 10 | 05-20-2017 | Injustice 2 improves upon Injustice: God Among Us in almost every way. It’s faster, smoother, better animated, and better written than its predecessor, and is definitely NeatherRealm’s best fighting game yet. While the Clash system sullies otherwise great fighting mechanics, and the game’s story has a few problems of its own, I’ve had tons of fun with Injustice 2. As both a comic book and video game fanatic, I’d recommend Injustice 2 to anyone who is even remotely interested in it, as it does its source material justice while delivering both a great single player and online experience, and looks just as awesome in the process. | Read review |

| EGM | Ray Carsillo | 9 / 10 | 05-25-2017 | Injustice 2 is one of the most complete fighting games you’ll ever play. From the story to the Multiverse Mode, there is something for everyone here to enjoy. And with how addictive the gear system is, you’ll be hard-pressed to put it down. | Read review |
| Eurogamer | Wesley Yin-Poole | Recommended | 05-16-2017 | NetherRealm’s latest is content complete. | Read review |
| Everyeye.it | Tommaso Montagnoli | 8.5 / 10 | 05-16-2017 | Netherrealm and WB Games pack a new Injustice, and it’s more powerful, big and epic then ever. It would have been enough to follow the footsteps of great successes like the latest Mortal Kombat, but it’s not like this: Injustice 2 is not a simple reskin with the characters borrowed from the DC Universe, it’s a brand that finally reaches its completeness, it’s dignity, and now is able to earn a first place in the world of Beat’em up for the general public. | Read review |
| Game Informer | Andrew Reiner | 9 / 10 | 05-15-2017 | A deep game that hits hard in three key areas: fighting, story, and collecting | Read review |
| Game Rant | Riley Little | 4.5 / 5 stars | 05-23-2017 | The second installment of DC Comics’ super-powered fighting game packs a serious punch, delivering an expertly crafted experience for gamers and comic fans alike. | Read review |
| Game Revolution | James Kozanitis | 3 / 5 stars | 05-17-2017 | But these fruits are soured by lazy, contrived storytelling, and a gear system that stands in opposition to what fighting games should be about. All of this ultimately makes Injustice 2 a step back not only from the original but also from the level of quality we’re used to seeing from NetherRealm. | Read review |
| Game Volt | Ahmed Hassan | 7.3 / 10 | 05-29-2017 | If you are a fan of the world of DC, this is a game you do not have to miss, if you want a combat game that has a distinctive story and characters with visual and creative visual skills, you will have this game and of course there is a joker to satisfy the arrogance of all DC lovers | Read review |
| Gameblog | Jonathan Bushle | 8 / 10 | 05-22-2017 | Injustice 2 is a good follow-up and a very good fighting game. Its story is less surprising than the first episode, but it does the job, and the fights are spectacular and quite technical. | Read review |
| GameCrate | Angelo D’Argenio | 8.8 / 10 | 05-18-2017 | While the multiplayer aspects of Injustice 2 are lacking, it still manages to be an incredibly strong fighting game title that is worth checking out, even if you’ve never picked up a DC comic in your life. | Read review |
| Gamefa | Amirhossein Dehnavi | 10 / 10 | 06-05-2017 | NetherRealm Create a Game that not only is leap forward to the franchise but also set a New Standard in the Fighting Genre Games. | Read review |
| GameGrin | Simon Brown | 9 / 10 | 05-31-2017 | Injustice 2 is a fantastic fighting game with great visuals that is a lot of fun to play casually but with enough depth to master. The new Multiverse mode will keep you playing for a long time while you build the perfect Batman. | Read review |
| GameMAG | Azzy | 9 / 10 | 06-09-2017 | Injustice 2 is an example of excellent AAA-blockbuster fighting game with a great variety of modes. It has everything to entertain you and your friends. Awesome graphics and interesting story campaign will please fans of DC. RPG enthusiasts will spend hours creating their characters. And those who are serious in the genre and eager competitive action will be able to enjoy fair PvP online battles and tournament mode. | Read review |

| GameSpot | Peter Brown | 9 / 10 | 05-15-2017 | NetherRealm sets a new bar for fighting games in 2017 with Injustice 2, despite over-complicating its most distinct feature. | Read review |
| GamesRadar+ | Sam Prell | 4.5 / 5 stars | 05-22-2017 | Injustice 2 may not be revolutionary and what new things it tries may be underwhelming, but you didn’t come to this game for the new or to try something different. You came to Injustice 2 looking for further refinement of the first game’s supremely satisfying controls and the focus on presentation that you’ve come to expect from NetherRealm; you know what you want, and what you want is exactly what you’re going to get. | Read review |
| GameWatcher | Chris Capel | 9 / 10 | 11-19-2017 | Injustice 2 is by far the best fighting game this year, and may very well be the best fighting game on PC. | Read review |
| Gaming Nexus | John Yan | 9 / 10 | 12-14-2017 | Injustice 2 is the best fighting game from Netherealm Studios to date. It improves over not just the original Injustice, but Mortal Kombat as well. The story mode puts WB’s live action movies to shame and the Metaverse provides near endless replay value. | Read review |
| GamingBolt | Shubhankar Parijat | 9 / 10 | 05-19-2017 | Injustice 2 is a game that has enough content for two decent games- or a staggeringly incredible one. | Read review |

| Geeks Under Grace | LJ Lowery | 9.8 / 10 | 06-12-2017 | Injustice 2 is an overall improvement compared to the first entry.

| Hobby Consolas | Daniel Quesada | 90 / 100 | 05-16-2017 | A game with its own personality, which offers good fighting for online lovers and also for those who want a great solo experience. Either you love DC characters or fighting games, you’ll be more than satisfied. | Read review |
| IGN | Darry Husky | 9 / 10 | 05-16-2017 | Injustice 2’s fights improve on Gods Among Us in nearly every way, specifically addressing fan concerns about movement speed and giving you new ways to burn meter. Visually, the DC roll call shines even as they star in a flat and unnecessarily grim story. The unrivaled amount of single-player content to explore, especially the highlight Multiverse mode, and the height of Injustice 2’s skill ceiling make it an easy environment in which to lose hours of your day without ever even challenging another human… or giant telekinetic gorilla, as it were. | Read review |
| IGN Italy | Gianluca Loggia | 8.6 / 10 | 05-16-2017 | A must have for DC fans, but also a very good beat’em up for everyone. If you liked the first Injustice, you’ll love this. | Read review |
| IGN Spain | Juan García | 9 / 10 | 05-16-2017 | An excellent game that’s better than it’s first iteration on everything. One of the best fighting games that we have seen in a while. | Read review |
| Impulsegamer | Nathan Misa | 4.8 / 5 stars | 05-30-2017 | Injustice 2 is the best fighting video game released this generation, with stellar single-player and online content, addictive gear and customisation options, fast and frantic gameplay and incredible graphics, all of which impressively realise DC Comics’ most iconic superheroes and supervillains. | Read review |
| Kinglink Reviews | Kinglink Reviews | 3.5 / 5 stars | 03-10-2019 | One of the best fighting games but is brought down quite a bit by microtransactions, stat-based gameplay, and more. Still, I love playing as superheroes and just beating someone up. | Read review |
| Kotaku | Mike Fahey | Recommended | 05-16-2017 | Where follow-ups to traditional comic book events often fail, Injustice 2 is a worthy successor to the original in almost every way. | Read review |
| Leadergamer | Alper Dalan | 9 / 10 | 05-21-2017 | If you are looking for a fighting game, which you can show your talents and play without boredom, Injustice 2 is for you. | Read review |
| LevelUp | Angielo Martinez | 8.3 / 10 | 05-16-2017 | Injustice 2 has everything a sequel should have: the return of the features that seduced the fans in the first place; new ways for gamers to submerge even deeper into the title; and an overall improvement of the visual front. If you loved Injustice, you are a fan of DC and you are looking for a medium to hard fighting experience, then Injustice 2 is perfect for you. | Read review |
| M3 | P-A Knutsson | 8 / 10 | 05-26-2017 | Injustice 2 is easy to fall in love with. The super hero theme is as fun as the first installment, and everything else just seem better – including the online mode and the single player campaign. | Read review |
| Metro GameCentral | GameCentral | 9 / 10 | 05-19-2017 | Probably the best single-player experience ever in a fighting game, on top of being an extremely accessible and highly technical multiplayer brawler. | Read review |

| Nerd Much? | Bobby Bernstein | 9.6 / 10 | 05-23-2017 | While Gods Among Us was just a good game, Injustice 2 successfully brings the franchise into greatness, providing a near-perfect superhero fighting game for comic book-loving gamers. | Read review |
| New Game Network | Josh Hinke | 85 / 100 | 05-27-2017 | This is likely their best game since NetherRealm was founded within Warner Bros. The formula seems so perfect, it’s hard to imagine anyone not finding something to enjoy in Injustice 2. Whether you like fighting games, DC Comics, or just superheroes getting into visceral combat, this is a sequel worth checking out. | Read review |
| Nexus | Garth Kaestner | 8.5 / 10 | 05-21-2017 | Injustice 2 offers a constantly changing Multiverse, strong fighting mechanics, accessible gameplay and a well written story mode.

| OnlySP | Dylan Warman | 5 / 5 stars | 05-21-2017 | All-in-all, Injustice 2 is a polished experience, one that highlights the professional and well-practiced craft of NetherRealm Studios. The developer takes their Mortal Kombat experience and gives Injustice 2 all they have in their arsenal. Astonishing graphics, flexible mechanics, quality story, and fitting audio make Injustice 2 riveting and addicting. If NetherRealm continues to put forth this much effort into future titles, such as any possible upcoming Mortal Kombat installments, the company will achieve heights far greater than they already have. Players who love fighting games and DC Comics fans will find coming across a better game almost impossible. The game’s well-rounded roster and fresh Gear System cater to different playstyles, and the ever-changing Multiverse, along with upcoming DLC, will keep Injustice 2’s heart beating for quite some time. | Read review |
| Oyungezer Online | Baran Köse | 9 / 10 | 05-30-2017 | Injustice 2 is like a interactive movie rather than a video game. Both the gamer and the viewer enjoy it tremendously. | Read review |
| Pardis Game | Mohammad Taghavi | 9.5 / 10 | 06-01-2017 | Injustice 2 is a combination of the core gameplay NetherRealm always nails and some novel ideas that mix really well. Let’s put aside the giant leap the studio has taken, each part of the game is so deep and done so well that lets you dive in within seconds and spend hours with it. It doesn’t matter if you’re not a comic book guy (or girl!), You don’t like Mortal Kombat or you just hate fighting games. Injustice 2 is an experience that you won’t regret. | Read review |
| Paste Magazine | Cameron Kunzelman | 9 / 10 | 05-16-2017 | It is the lightest possible complaint to say that I had a great time with a videogame, and I have already ordered the PS4 version of the first game to go back and play. I’ve also read the first year of the tie-in comic book to find out more about this weird fork universe of DC Comics. I guess I’m now waiting for Injustice 3 to come out. I need to know what’s up with Swamp Thing and the wild world of a nature worth fighting for. | Read review |

| Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | Max Parker | 8.8 / 10 | 05-22-2017 | “Injustice 2” does everything a fighting game sequel should do. The original “Injustice” was a great game that added some new ideas to the fighting genre. “Injustice 2” just polishes areas that needed to be polished when it comes to the gameplay, and added a gear system that’s never been seen before in the genre. The game has plenty of content for DC fans, hardcore followers of fighting games and casual gamers just looking for a fun experience. | Read review |
| Player.One | Phillip Martinez | 10 / 10 | 05-16-2017 | Overall, Injustice 2 is one of the best fighting game in terms of content and actual fighting that I’ve every played. | Read review |
| Player2.net.au | Player2.net.au | Recommended | 05-30-2017 | Injustice 2 does a bang up job throwing you into the shoes of your favourite DC Villains and Heroes. As a fighter it stands tall and will definitely have its place in the eSport and casual scenes alike | Read review |
| PlayStation Universe | Neil Bolt | 8.5 / 10 | 05-24-2017 | Injustice 2 goes to great lengths to be a fighting game with longevity in mind without ostracizing a more casual audience. A superb story, a great roster, and a smart, if overly complicated, Gear system all contribute to that, and the result is arguably the best overall fighter of modern times. | Read review |
| Polygon | Michael McWhertor | 9 / 10 | 05-17-2017 | With Injustice 2, NetherRealm has outdone itself | Read review |
| Post Arcade (National Post) | Chad Sapieha | 8.5 / 10 | 05-16-2017 | A fantastic story mode, accessible controls, and a subtle RPG vibe has left our reviewer surprisingly enamoured of NetherRealms’ sequel | Read review |
| PowerUp! | Leo Stevenson | 8 / 10 | 05-24-2017 | Injustice 2, for its few faults, is still incredible and brilliantly put together. Hurry up with Red Hood already. | Read review |
| Press Start | James Mitchell | 8 / 10 | 05-22-2017 | Injustice 2 is a fighting game that’s accessible to anyone, but also deep enough for veteran fighting fans. An incredible step up from Gods Among Us in practically every way possible, it successfully leverages heaps of content and a strong roster with tight and fast fighting mechanics. Gear pushes customization without sacrificing balance, and both Multiverse and Online modes keep Injustice 2 interesting no matter how you play. | Read review |
| PSX Brasil | Ivan Nikolai Barkow Castilho | 95 / 100 | 05-29-2017 | Injustice 2 is an awesome fighting game. It has a solid story mode and an incredible variety in the Multiverse and customization modes. The online mode is very good as well. There are some new mechanics in the gameplay and new characters, but the game’s foundation is very much alike its predecessor, and it could have a little more innovation and variety, as seen when Mortal Kombat (2011) evolved to Mortal Kombat X. | Read review |
| Pure Playstation | Stuart Mclean | 8.5 / 10 | 06-24-2017 | Injustice 2 does more of what made the first Injustice so popular | Read review |
| Push Square | Dan Thompson | 9 / 10 | 05-24-2017 | For those of you which fantasied about your favorite DC characters fighting by bumping your action figures together, Injustice 2 extends that fantasy into an impressively executed video game. There’s a lot to offer, and it will take you hundreds of hours to unlock everything, let alone attain the Platinum Trophy. The game’s depth in fighting, story, and customisation options make it a worthy addition to not only any fighting gamer’s library – but demands to be tried by people of all tastes. | Read review |
| Reno Gazette-Journal | Jason Hidalgo | 9 / 10 | 05-26-2017 | Like a loaded hero sandwich, Injustice 2 serves up a stellar fighting game that is not only mechanically solid but also packed to the gills with plenty of “fixins.” It still has some uncanny valley moments and the dark, insufferable versions of Superman and Wonder Woman are starting to wear a bit thin. Thanks to a deep combat system, a chunky narrative and a plethora of collectibles and unlockables to collect, however, Injustice 2 is proof that fighting games can be full-fledged experiences that aren’t one-dimensional. | Read review |
| Saudi Gamer | عصام الشهوان | 8 / 10 | 05-20-2017 | An enjoyable game for veterans and newcomers alike, with a fun fighting system and a treasure trove of content and the ability to customize the game to your liking. Not all characters offered here are necessarily well known or even appealing, but the plethora of options offered makes up for that to an extent. | Read review |
| Shacknews | Ozzie Mejia | 9 / 10 | 05-19-2017 | Injustice 2 feels like a step up from Gods Among Us in every way imaginable. It’s a far deeper experience, follows up wonderfully on the last game’s story, and also gives reasons to keep coming back for repeat visits. The rich cast of fighters all have their own distinct styles, but they’re all wrapped up in an easy-to-learn fighting system that’s just plain fun to play. NetherRealm has a true grasp of what makes the DC Universe special and this game is as much of a love letter to that world as it gets. | Read review |
| Sirus Gaming | Jarren Navarrete | 9.5 / 10 | 12-09-2017 | Overall, Injustice 2 is a masterpiece of the fighting game genre. It features one of the best super hero stories of all time, defying expectations of both the genre and the medium. Not only that, but it’s the best looking fighting game to date, with the best facial expressions in a game since Uncharted 4. | Read review |
| Slant Magazine | Justin Clark | 4 / 5 stars | 05-26-2017 | At its most crucial, Injustice 2 joyously depicts its heroes doing the right thing simply for its own sake. | Read review |
| Softpedia | Cosmin Vasile | 9 / 10 | 05-25-2017 | It might not be the best fighting game out there, but Injustice 2 is definitely the most solid among them thanks to the amount of the content it offers for single player and online experiences. | Read review |
| SomHráč.sk | Martin Kubeš | 90 / 100 | 05-30-2017 | Injustice 2 offers a lot of content, a great battle system, an interesting story mode and much more. Too bad that the NetherRealm Studios DLC policy has remained the same and there’s only a few arenas. Despite this, Injustice 2 can be highly recommended, it’s one of the best games on the market. | Read review |
| SpazioGames | Daniele Spelta | 8.5 / 10 | 11-19-2017 | Injustice 2 is a massive fighting game. A lot of content in single player and interesting RPG elements to personalize the characters, support an interesting and well orchestrated storyline. | Read review |
| Stevivor | Steve Wright | 9 / 10 | 05-18-2017 | This sequel is far more than a fighter. It’s a love letter to DC’s heroes and villains | Read review |
| TechRaptor | Alex Santa Maria | 8 / 10 | 11-30-2017 | Injustice 2 is a solid game with beautiful characters and interesting fighting mechanics. The hunt for loot is real, and some may be put off by the microtransactions, but it’s clear that NetherRealm hasn’t lost a step. | Read review |
| Telegraph | Tom Hoggins | 5 / 5 stars | 05-25-2017 | This is another flourish of a fighting game that is big on style. There is a saunter and character to its roster, to its stages that fizz and crumble under the weight of battle, it is kinetic and fun and easy to get into. And it might just be your new favourite fighting game… even if you have never played one before. | Read review |

| The Digital Fix | Leigh Forgie | 9 / 10 | 05-23-2017 | If Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice left a sour taste in your mouth, then Injustice 2 is the perfect remedy. | Read review |
| The Games Machine | Danilo Dellafrana | 8.3 / 10 | 05-16-2017 | Bigger, faster, stronger, the second chapter in the beat’em up series of the DC Universe improves the original in every possible way, with a great single player mode, a very rich customisation system, and some nice online features, for competitive and casual players alike. | Read review |
| The Jimquisition | Laura Kate Dale | 8.5 / 10 | 05-19-2017 | Overall, Injustice 2 takes a strong fighting game, delivers an incredibly rewarding and lengthy single player that feels like a priority rather than a tacked on afterthought, and considerably increases the scope of the game by adding in a vast number of well made additional characters to the mix. Sure it hits the uncanny valley a bit, and I’m not keen on the loot boxes or their DLc plans, but it’s hard to deny how much fun I had with the game at launch. | Read review |
| The Outerhaven Productions | Karl Smart | 3 / 5 stars | 05-21-2017 | Injustice 2 is a fine game. It’s basic enough for newcomers to pick up and play but still has depth for experienced players to explore. The story mode is the best in the fighting game genre and really warrants more. However the whole experience is crushed by an experiment to bring mobile game style random bullshit into console games and ultimately makes the game forgettable once something else comes along. | Read review |
| TheSixthAxis | Aran Suddi | 9 / 10 | 05-22-2017 | Injustice 2 has built upon the original in every way and then added a whole host of content on top, setting a new standard for fighting games. The gear system alone adds a ton of depth allowing players to experiment with different builds for characters, and that keeps you coming back to the Multiverse or playing online. Injustice 2 has so much content to play around with, and if you enjoy fighting games or the DC Universe in general then this comes highly recommended. | Read review |
| TheXboxHub | James Birks | 5 / 5 stars | 05-29-2017 | It’s safe to say I’m having a blast on Injustice 2, trying out a myriad of characters to level them up and put them in some shiny new gear. The customisation side is sheer brilliance, even if you aren’t overly bothered about stats, a change in attires is always welcome and there are a ton of items to collect. | Read review |
| TrueAchievements | Marc Hollinshead | 4.5 / 5 stars | 05-23-2017 | NetherRealm has completely knocked it out of the park with Injustice 2 once again. | Read review |
| Twinfinite | Ishmael Romero | 4.5 / 5 stars | 05-16-2017 | All in all, Injustice 2 is one seriously impressive package. NetherRealm has never shied away from packing their fighting games with lots of content for players to sink their teeth into and this latest installment is no different. | Read review |
| Use a Potion | Daryl Leach | 9.6 / 10 | 05-24-2017 | After loving ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ so much, I’d been eagerly anticipating Injustice 2. There was just this little part of me that was worried that it wouldn’t live up to the hype. | Read review |
| USgamer | Mike Williams | 4.5 / 5 stars | 05-18-2017 | The first Injustice was a well-done fighting game, but it’s completely outclassed by its sequel. NetherRealm Studios offers up a love letter to the DC Universe and fighting game fans. An accessible combat system underpins a game with a great roster, tons of character customization, and several robust gameplay modes. The story mode alone is worth witnessing. As a complete package, Injustice 2 sets the bar for fighting games. | Read review |
| VGChartz | Patrick Day-Childs | Recommended | 05-23-2017 | Injustice 2 is everything a Mortal Kombat game would offer, and everything a fighting game should be, making it a must-have for both DC and fighter fans alike, even if it does feel a little bit too familiar. | Read review |
| VGN | Giovanni Marrelli | 9 / 10 | 05-22-2017 | Whether you are or not a big fan of DC Comics hereos and villains, you should definitely give a chance to Injustice 2, which proves what a fighter game should offer in 2017. The story of Injustice 2 is really great and offers the chance to test most of the 29 characters available on day-one, while the Multiverse is a great addition that allows players to try new challenges everyday and drop sweet loot to custom their favorite characters. The online multiplayer is great and well-balanced, and the overall experience makes Injustice 2 one of the best fighting game ever made. | Read review |

| VideoGamer | Alice Bell | 9 / 10 | 05-17-2017 | Fast, satisfying combat and the most ambitious single player for a fighting game yet, Injustice 2 is a great game elevated further by its attention to detail and Cavill-esque good looks. | Read review |
| Wccftech | Dave Aubrey | 8.2 / 10 | 11-25-2017 | All in all, Injustice 2 is surprisingly fantastic. Combat feels very weighty and satisfying, the graphics look incredible, characters look fascinatingly detailed and even the bass-heavy sound design is top notch. DC and fighter fans should definitely be giving Injustice 2 time. | Read review |
| We Got This Covered | Tyler Treese | 4 / 5 stars | 05-17-2017 | Featuring a diverse cast of characters, Injustice 2 manages to provide a great time for both fighting game fans and those who love comic books.
