This game was really enjoyable, a good improvement on the first. The graphics were actually pretty impressive, although some of the facial animations got a little uncanny at times. The character designs are an improvement over some of the weirder ones in the first, but superman's stupid chin guard and emo joker leave a bit to be desired. Also some characters like.. Captain Cold. Im not really a big superhero fan but seriously lmao who cares about Captain Cold. The combat is just as enjoyable as the first and the scene transitions/super moves for the most part are all really fun, but there is far too few arenas. The story itself was really good for a fighting game. I usually find her a bit overrated but I really like what they did with Harley Quinn in this game, and Supergirl was great in it I only wish she was shown a bit more. The Braniac boss fight also is dumb with him having moves that do half your health bar but it was nowhere near as unfair or as infuriating as the Shao Kahn boss fight from MK9. Unfortunately as neat as the pick Superman or Batman's side thing is, the ending was a bit disappointing and left pretty much every character's arc unfinished. Felt really sequel bait-y (like most superhero media) but it was still enjoyable until the end. I didnt play any multiplayer because I dont care for that, but the gear system seems dumb.
Overall another really fun NetherRealm game, only barely being a 4.5 because a lackluster conclusion to the story holds it back a bit for me. Also I am in love with Supergirl our wedding will be this summer, im accepting reservations now.
