Honestly, gameplay wise got some moments but definitely i downloaded some mods for traversal and combat speed... It's pretty slow even on bike, nothing fluid or thrilling.

We go backward from Arkham games and Origins. Yeah you made a solid game with Origins far more interesting about the relation between Batman and Joker, plus some Killing joke reference...

Some enjoyable parts, Gotham City is pretty nice (less than Arkham Knight), some interiors well done and customisation pretty good. Missions are not that bad, pretty varied but needed more depth to it.

Hell, there is even good things with the bat family and i like the alchemy between them but man, i smell the ESG or maybe sweet baby Inc behind some takes like Lucius saying "White male and wealthy" doing "some crusade"...

It's like seeing Lucius as just the smart "black" guy... Who is racist here ? gamers or writers ? You see people trough color since 2015, it's so tribal, destroying every progress we made since WW2 but hey they're the first calling you NAZI huh.

Cringe dialogue from some NPCs and encounters everyone is an activist in this game, too many females as criminal mobs, like i'm smashing mostly females npcs, let's go, do i'm feel better ? NO.
You want to bring "real" issues (aka flags) on Gotham city but in "reality" female are less attract doing criminal things.
Don't let activist around video games, they are narcissistic, play victim cards and they know nothing about real issues around the globe except what they read on X/Twitter.

Just look at the narrative director interview for that game.

Batman audio logs seems out of character written by an average tumblr/fanfic user...
Yeah, it's terrible like in Suicide squad.

Glad i got this for 6 dollars deserve nothing more with just an improved gameplay and more grounded lore around Gotham and less 2024 Portland, probably i would buy it full price and give it a positive evaluation...
