Injustice 2 Reviews: 9 Critical Reactions You Need To Know

6. The Roster Has Great Variety

"The cast sees the return of familiar faces--the likes of The Flash and Green Lantern--but also introduces unlikely fan favorites such as the blood-barfing Red Lantern Atrocitus and the plant-based behemoth, Swamp Thing. The nearly 30 characters offer a broad range of super powers and fighting styles, and each has a distinct trait that can instantly trigger a status buff or summon an underling in the middle of a fight." - Gamespot

"The new additions to the cast ably fill a range of niches, such as Dr. Fate and Deadshot and their strong zone control, Black Canary and her quick and technical offense, or Atrocitus and Gorilla Grodd’s more methodical, heavy-hitting styles." - IGN

"The roster, while lacking some heavy hitters for narrative reasons, offers a nice variety that pulls equally from DC’s gods and titans as the vigilantes, such as the Bat family and Suicide Squad...Supergirl, Gorilla Grodd, and the always-quirky Doctor Fate are excellent additions to the roster, although no new character shakes up the foundation in dramatic ways." - Game Informer

The near-30 fighters included in the base game represent a fantastically diverse slice through DC's gallery of heroes and villains, plucking more niche characters to sit along the iconic likes of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and so on.

Of course, players will inevitably be left lamenting the exclusion of their favourite niche character, but NetherRealm have judiciously picked a range of fighters to support all different play styles, ensuring the roster doesn't feel left wanting for any particular type of hero or villain.
