Despite some technical issues that I won't go into - they've all been documented here already - I'm really enjoying this game.

My biggest complaint would have to be that at launch the story goes by in a flash, pun intended, but is clearly setting up something grander for the future. We could probably rename this one "Suicide Squad: Kill a Justice League", as multiple hints are dropped that nothing is quite as it seems.

As for the missions, yes, they can get repetitive. But they're so much fun you probably won't notice.

It's hard to pin down whether or not I'd recommend getting this game in it's current state, at it's current non-special pricing (but you should definitely avoid the Deluxe edition), perhaps I'll need to re-assess my rating in a year, after the extra content drops.

For now all I can really say for certain is I'm having a lot of fun, and cautiously optimistic for future content that might make this game a better value proposition.

Eight months after launch, and I still can't run this game on my main gaming rig (works fine on my ASUS ROG Ally though).

Sony really screwed the Naughty Dog on this one....

Having played this originally on the PS3, I do recommend playing this game. Just perhaps not on PC?

A beautiful show piece game that suffers from regular bad pacing in the story department. The developers seemingly happy to rely almost entirely on the Lara Croft's fame instead of any real character development.

Jonah however, continues to be the highlight character of these new Tomb Raider games. So much so I found myself at times wanting to take control of the character at pivotal moments in the game. Perhaps there's a spin-off in this character's future?

Humourosly, there are some truly strange moments in the story where you're left asking "What the heck happened to Jonah?", moments after a cataclysmic event forces Lara into action.

Still got a ways to go until they can draw me in the way the Uncharted series does, but certainly worth a play during the hiatus of that series.

Have played and finished on the PS4 and the game is, as expected of Rocksteady, AMAZING.

Issues of the PC version up to this point aside, this is a solid entry in the Batman Arkhamverse with some mostly minor flaws. Notably the forced Batmobile sequences, which range from needlessly difficult to just plain unenjoyable, mainly due to the vehicle's handling (or lack thereof).

If you're like me and bought this game to 'be the Batman' then these sequences will no doubt dissapoint.

On the flip side, if you put some 'quality time' into learning to drive the Batmobile said sequences will do little to deter you from finishing the game.

Overall; a top notch - albeit predictable if you know your Batman lore - story is the order of the day here. With non stop thrills, mostly excellent gameplay and fantastic voice acting it's hard not to recommend Batman's final story in the Arkhamverse :)
