2017 was a somewhat weak year for fighters as some of the biggest names produced lukewarm sequels. With no Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat this year, we were left with some other well-known games in the genre.

Injustice 2

Whether you like DC Comics or not, the Injustice series has proved to be the best superhero fighting game out right now. With fast-paced, punchy action, good looking visuals, and a lot of content, Injustice 2 tops the last game on every level. This is the most robust, fun, and well-done fighter this year
