Good game, definitely overhated. The way I see it each Arkham game was a blockbuster movie and this is a TV spin-off. Only get this if it's on sale (very often now) and you are a fan of the Arkham games.

Pros:
- Good main story
- Good side-stories, including character-specific cutscenes that show their development over time
- All four characters are fun to use. At first they are fairly samey but as you unlock more abilities they flesh out into quite different play styles
- Some cutscenes have unique dialogue based on who you're playing with
- Side content and the RPG aspect is optional
- There are two additional post-game activities released as free DLC but very light on story. Plus you can continue playing after the story as each night there are randomised crimes and challenges you can tackle for XP and gear.

Cons:
- Never quite reaches any of the highs of Arkham - stories, mechanics, vibes - all attempt to recapture what Arkham did but fall way short of it
- Beginning is a bit slow, with a lot of cutscenes and exposition - 15 minutes to get control of the character, 25 minutes to enter combat.
- Traversal is incredibly slow - whether it's the batcycle which seems to be running at 20 km/h, the characters' unique air traversals (half of which are very annoying to use), or the characters' relaxed pace even when sprinting, the game never wants you to get to your destination quickly. I don't understand why given that this is released in an era of SSDs
- Some cutscenes break immersion by not tracking whether your current character or a different one did something. Having played this entirely solo I kept switching between characters after each mission so I encountered this a lot.
- Meh ending

Perhaps I treated you too harshly Gotham Knights.
