Injustice 2
(May 16 – PS4, Xbox One, PC)
The first Injustice was quite the experience. After the less than stellar Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, the folks at NetherRealm figured out a way to give DC’s extensive roster an identity all of its own that borrowed some of the best elements of Mortal Kombat and created something new. The sequel, Injustice 2, aims to push things a bit further, offering a suite of RPG features that will allow players to customize their experience in ways not possible before.
There’s an entire gear system, with different sets of armor that are more than just cosmetic applications. They change your outward appearance, yes, but they also can alter your stats and even change your movesets, allowing you to create the perfect version of your favorite heroes (and villains). It still maintains the fast-paced, technical gameplay that fans of the first have come to appreciate, but with the added level of depth, this is sure to be one to keep on your radar later this month.
