If you've played NetherRealm Studios games in the past, like Mortal Kombat X(L) and the first Injustice game, you'll know what to expect---quality games with in-depth controls and a great story. Fighting games are always hard to master, with this one in particular. To "get good" at this game, you'll need to use your brain. Button mashing won't get you places, not even through the story! I am currently playing on medium (default) and it's still very difficult for me, and I'd consider myself half-decent at fighting games. Memorizing basic combos and special moves will take some effort, but your effort will not go unrewarded. Online is fun, but get used to losing a lot of you're like me. There are some people online who are insanely good. There are very little "bad" players online in my opinion. People generally know some basic combos to get by. It's frustrating losing often to people online AND to CPUs in the story mode, but not in a way that makes you want to throw your controller across the room. It's more like a frustrated-laughter feeling because you know you need to get better in order to progress, and getting better is possible through time and practice. Highly recommend getting this and also picking up the previous Injustice game if you haven't played it already.
