Injustice™ 2 - Infinite Transforms Review Summary

DLC enables free transmogrification and is a must-have, but refund and activation issues, high Source Crystal costs, and skins locked behind crystals make it not worth full price.

DLC enables free transmogrification: The DLC removes the cost of Source Crystals for changing gear appearance, allowing unlimited transmogrification. This feature is highlighted as a major benefit across multiple clusters.

DLC is a must-have: Reviewers consider the DLC essential because it provides free and unlimited gear appearance changes, which saves resources over time. The value is emphasized as paying for itself eventually.

DLC refund and activation issues: Multiple players report that the DLC cannot be refunded, does not activate after purchase, and sometimes requires verifying game files to work. This indicates a broken purchase experience.

DLC not worth full price: Several reviews state the DLC is not worth its full price, especially if the player lacks enough items to benefit from the transformation feature. The value proposition is considered poor.

Source Crystal costs too high: Players complain that the in-game Source Crystal cost for transforming gear is exorbitant, with specific examples like 2000 crystals for one transmog. This is seen as a cash grab.

Skins locked behind crystals: Not all skins become available after purchasing the DLC; many remain locked and require Source Crystals. This limits the DLC's usefulness.

Transformation feature limited: The DLC only allows transforming already owned items to look like other items, and not all appearances are available. This is seen as a restrictive and confusing system.

DLC enables equipment appearance transformation: The DLC allows players to change the appearance of one equipment piece to another of the same type that has already been collected, effectively transforming owned items to look like other items. This feature swaps appearances without altering attributes.

Transformation costs Source Crystals without DLC: The transformation feature costs Source Crystals unless the unlimited transformation option is owned, which is part of the DLC. Without the DLC, gear transformation requires spending Source Crystals.

Transformation requires owning multiple items: Using the transformation feature requires owning at least two different pieces of the same equipment type for a character. This ensures the player has both the base item and the desired appearance item.

Transmogrification requires farming desired items: To use the appearance transformation, players must farm and drop the desired item to unlock its appearance. This adds a grind element to the feature.

Gear is replaceable and improvable: Gear is replaceable as players can always improve their character, suggesting that the transformation feature is not essential for progression. This may reduce the perceived value of the DLC.

Buy only on sale: Multiple reviewers suggest waiting for a sale before purchasing this DLC, indicating that the content may not justify its full price. This advice appears in several clusters, reflecting a common sentiment about value.

Consider if appearance matters: The DLC is recommended for players who care about character appearance and want to avoid farming Source Crystals. This is a niche but valid use case.

Not for power players: Reviewers note that the DLC is not recommended for players who focus on stats rather than appearance, as it offers no gameplay advantage. This suggests the DLC is purely cosmetic.

Not for outfit completionists: The DLC does not unlock all character outfits without significant gameplay, so players expecting a shortcut may be disappointed. This is a warning against unrealistic expectations.

Verify game files: One reviewer advises verifying the integrity of game files to ensure the DLC works properly, indicating potential installation issues. This is a practical tip for troubleshooting.

Community fair range: $5.00 - $8.00.

Value-Conscious Cosmetic Seeker: Plays regularly, likely in a guild, but lacks abundant Source Crystals; seeks cost-effective cosmetic options. Motivation: To customize character appearance without spending real money on premium currency. Stance: buy.

Veteran Completionist: Has unlocked all gears and likely has abundant resources, so the DLC's transmogrification feature is redundant. Motivation: To have all content and gear; the DLC offers nothing new to them. Stance: no buy.

Frustrated Bug Victim: Attempts to use the DLC's transformation feature but encounters a bug that still requires buying crystals. Motivation: To use the DLC feature without additional purchases, but it fails, causing frustration. Stance: no buy.

Monetization: The game features a cosmetic microtransaction system using Source Crystals for transmogs, with prices that players find high. A paid DLC offers infinite transmogs, which is seen as a must-have to avoid spending on the currency. The monetization is standard with a cosmetic shop and a convenience DLC, but not pay-to-win or gacha.

Monetization feels mobile-like: Players criticize the DLC pack for adopting monetization practices typical of mobile games, such as aggressive in-app purchases. This approach is seen as predatory and out of place in a full-priced title.

Game is not free-to-play: Reviewers point out that despite the mobile-like monetization, the game is not free-to-play, making the additional costs feel unjustified. This contradiction frustrates players who already paid for the base game.

Game is overpriced: Reviewers feel the overall cost of the game, especially with the DLC, is too high for the content offered. The price point is a major deterrent for potential buyers.

Pack excluded from packages: The DLC pack is not included in either of the available game packages, forcing players to purchase it separately. This is seen as a deliberate money grab and a poor value proposition.

In-game currency too expensive: The cost of in-game currency is criticized as excessively high, making progression or cosmetic purchases feel unrewarding. This adds to the perception of a pay-to-win or pay-to-enjoy model.
