This is magnified by the game’s (new) Gear system, which allows you to deck out your characters with a variety of gear, acquired through loot drops and/or microtransactions. There’s a tutorial and there are plenty of moves that are universal or at least similar for all characters, but getting to grips with all the special moves and then the right tactics (for the right opponents) is where things get tricky. This was a wise choice, as Injustice 2 does take some practice. As a result, it’s easy to find someone you’re comfortable with or at least interested in trying out – and in my case this meant starting off with a couple of power hitters first, as I figured those would be easier to control for a not-quite-expert like me. ![]() ![]() There are hard hitters like Gorilla Grodd as well as characters who are quick and nimble, like Catwoman. Even with 28 characters, they all feel unique and distinct in the way they handle. Injustice 2 comes with a 28 character roster, with more to be added over the next few months. This can range from subtle damage to a movie theater’s facade to smashing someone right through an entire building – the latter of course feeling the most satisfying. This is also true for the game’s backgrounds, which are often highly interactive and multi-layered and never static backdrops to the action. It’s absolutely seamless, and a real showcase for how far technology has come. When initiating special moves, the camera can fluently switch to a close-up of your character’s face, zooming back out to see him deliver his deadly move and subsequently seeing its effect on your adversary. This highly cinematic style also translated into the actual fighting portion of the game. ![]() It’s easily the most ambitious delivery of a single player campaign in the fighting genre from a visual standpoint – some Japanese fighters have deep background stories as well, but the delivery is often more functional than anything else. They’re also expertly directed, with highly professional cinematography through changes in camera angles and zoom levels. The way the story is delivered here is through high quality cutscenes that are gorgeous to look at and well written (for a comic book inspired story). The single player campaign in Injustice 2 is way more than just an arcade mode, tons of background text or a brief exchange of words right before the fight. Highly stylized and cinematic, this is the videogame equivalent of the popular Zack Snyder brand of superhero movies – and it extends beyond the core fighting mechanics. I’m talking about the total package that’s delivered with the kind of presentation rarely seen in a videogame. I’m not just talking about fighting game standards, even though the game has no trouble competing with the likes of Capcom’s Street Fighter V. It turns out they weren’t wrong, because Injustice 2 is excellent by any standard. We were checking out playable code during hands-on demos almost a year before the game’s actual release, which is a testament to how confident they were even back then. Warner Bros certainly has been open about their game during its development. Tekken 7 is the other, but it has a lot to live up to when you look at how well done NetherRealm’s latest is. Once claimed, you’ll be able to play these PS Plus games for as long as your subscription is active.Injustice 2 is here – the first of this season’s two big fighter releases. October’s games will be available until Monday, October 31st. October 2022’s PlayStation Plus games will go live on Tuesday, October 4th, which means you’ve still got a few days left to claim September 2022’s PS Plus games, which include Need For Speed: Heat, Granblue Fantasy Versus and TOEM. They’re both excellent games, and if you haven’t gotten around to playing them yet, now is the perfect time, but given their age, that might not apply to a lot of people. ![]() Both Injustice 2 and Superhot will also be playable on PS5 via backwards compatibility.Ĭonsidering two thirds of the line-up consists of games that are over half a decade old, this PlayStation Plus line-up might be a hard one for people to get excited about. The PlayStation Plus games for October 2022 include Hot Wheels Unleashed for PS4 and PS5, Injustice 2 for PS4 and Superhot for PS4. October 2022 is certainly no exception, though it’s worth noting that this isn’t the most stacked PS Plus line-up ever. The start of a new month is usually an exciting time for PlayStation Plus subscribers, as it means there’s another wave of PS Plus games for players to claim.
