Honest Game Trailers Season 6 Episode 21 INJUSTICE 2 (Honest Game Trailers)

For the 21st episode of the sixth season of Honest Game Trailers, the focus is on Injustice 2, the fighting video game developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. In this episode, the show's host plows through DC's iconic characters, from Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman to lesser-known ones like Swamp Thing and Doctor Fate.

The show begins by giving a brief introduction on Injustice 2's story campaign, which takes place after the events of its predecessor Injustice: Gods Among Us. In the alternate universe, Superman becomes a tyrant after losing his wife and unborn child, resulting in a five-year insurgency led by Batman to subdue the Man of Steel. Meanwhile, Brainiac threatens to destroy the world, and a new generation of heroes and villains must join forces to stop him.

Like its predecessor, Injustice 2 also features a comprehensive list of DC characters, each of whom has their own fighting moves and special abilities. And Honest Game Trailers does a great job highlighting the good, the bad, and the ugly of them. From characters with powerful combos like Gorilla Grodd to those with unique movesets like Scarecrow's mind games, the show offers a great rundown of the characters that players can expect to face.

The host also touches on the game's graphics, pointing out the impressive levels of visual detail in each character's armor, and highlighting the destructible levels. The environmental hazards can be downright brutal, and the stages often incorporate multiple levels, changing the strategy of combat significantly.

The show doesn't just focus on the characters and gameplay, though, as it also gives an overview of the customization and gear systems in Injustice 2. The game offers an overwhelming amount of loot to unlock, featuring a range of cosmetic and gameplay upgrades that can be applied to the characters. Honest Game Trailers points out how this massive amount of varied items keeps things interesting, even after you've beaten the story campaign several times.

The show then moves on to the various gameplay modes that Injustice 2 has to offer, from the standard versus modes, to the online multiplayer which offers new challenges in real-time against other players. The host even jokes about the "mother of all grind fests" that is the Multiverse mode, where players can fight through the multiverse for a chance at some seriously powerful gear.

Of course, as with any fighting game, the balance of the characters becomes a topic of discussion. While the host acknowledges that there are some genuinely overpowered characters like Deadshot and Aquaman, they also highlight how NetherRealm Studios has done a somewhat decent job of balancing nearly 30 characters.

Finally, the show concludes with a verdict on Injustice 2 as a whole, calling it "hands down, the best fighting game featuring superheroes." The final score for the game? An impressive 9.0 out of 10.

Ultimately, the 21st episode of Honest Game Trailers is a comprehensive look into the second installment of Injustice. It covers pretty much all the game's key features and characters, as well as its strengths and flaws. Overall, it's a thorough episode that you should definitely check out if you're a fan of the game or just curious to know more about it.
