Injustice: Gods Among Us or Imbalanced: Gods Always Win is an unforgettably fun but heavily imbalanced video game that captures the feeling of pretend-fighting your childhood friends and classmates as overpowered superheroes with absurd made-up super moves but requires serious dedication to learn and master for competitive play. Despite NetherRealm Studios releasing several patches to address balance issues, some characters remain overturned and underturned. Oppressive top-tier to mid-tier characters throughout the years, such as Batgirl, Martian Manhunter, Superman, Scorpion, Black Adam, Deathstroke, Lex Luther, Zod, Doomsday, Wonder Woman, Batman, Aquaman, and Killer Frost, essentially invalidated a large portion of the roster. Barely functional low-tier characters such as Shazam, Ares, Joker, and Lobo lacked complete viability. Although the stage interactables can make the game fun and exciting, they were broken and unfair game mechanics, especially the pig on the hook and the dumpster. Nonetheless, this game offers an incredibly diverse base roster, with every character playing a role in the compelling story mode and a solid, well-picked DLC roster. Unfortunately, Ares, Deathstroke, Doomsday, Hawkgirl, Killer Frost, Lex Luthor, Raven, Shazam, Solomon Grundy, and Sinestro did not return to Injustice 2. Regardless, Imbalanced: Gods Always Win is an excellent first solid entry in the Injustice franchise.
