I had big expectations for this game, I even bought the Ultimate Edition because of how hyped I was. But man, this was a big disappointment for me. Let me make one thing clear, I love the cast of characters of this instalment, and ho they are represented in their moves and animations. I also thoroughly enjoy the gameplay. It's basically the same from the first game, but it's obvious it has been more polished.
Now, I have a big problem with the customization in this game. The variety is great, don't get me wrong, but the fact that every piece of armour modifies the stats of the character is absurd. Moreover, it gives an unfair advantage to those people that are willing to buy boxes in order to have more gear. It is a flawed system, and I'm happy that they changed it for MK11.
The narrative in this game is nothing spectacular. When you have all the DC characters at your disposal without the limitations of a film, you may think it's going to be epic in scale. But no, they stick to their formula of having chapters with a character fighting four times in a row, which destroys the pacing of the story.
All in all, this fighting game had so much potential, but its customization system is awful and unfair, and the story is overall underwhelming.

homie is prioritizing a fighting game's story over mechanics

at least a fair fraction of people going into the injustice games do in fact care about the injustice 1/2 comic's story and these adaptations/continuations of it so yeah imo that's pretty fair in this case chan
