As you fight a Meter builds up to four bars. The inclusion of an Ability Meter helps with both Newbie Inclusion and Pro Domination, and as such is a work of genius.

Moves are generally straightforward to pull off, the tutorial tells you everything you need to know, and even if you barely touch beat-em-ups just pick a character, learn a few of their special moves, and you’ll be able to get through most fights – and enjoy them. Their fighting game engine is slick, brutal, and massively fun to play, but most importantly they realize that non-fighting game fans of DC Comics will want to play Injustice 2 so they’ve kept things as simple as you want. Netherrealm have taken the Mortal Kombat style and satisfying mechanics and improved them even further. The fighting itself is, in a word, wonderful. Mostly thanks to Green Arrow or Harley Quinn. There are moments where rather convoluted events happen in order 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. The story is sizeable, well-written, and unlike the first game has plenty of opportunity to play more than one character. The acting is great too, mixing veterans from the Justice League animated series with perfectly cast actors such as Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger, playing Scarecrow), Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator and Star Trek, playing Brainiac), and Alan Tudyk (Firefly, as Green Arrow, who he actually played on Young Justice). 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. 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. Now several years later, a new threat is rising and the remaining heroes might need Superman to defeat it.

Batman, with the assistance of the “regular” Earth-1 Justice League, ousted the Regime and put Superman, Wonder Woman, and their other compatriots behind bars. In the first Injustice game, Superman was tricked into murdering Lois Lane and destroying Metropolis by the Joker and becomes unhinged, turning himself and the former Justice League into despots who rule the planet.

However, the PC port of Injustice: Gods Among Us was a little lacking, so hopefully Netherrealm and Warner Bros won’t fall into the same trap. On consoles Injustice 2 was considered a triumph, one of the best games of the year and possibly the best selling fighting game of all time. Much like the first game, Injustice 2 has been a long time coming on PC – at least we didn’t have to wait for a Game of the Year Edition this time.
