Never liked Batman Arkham Asylum, even tried to play it again in the first half of 2022(it was my third try), still, I was curious about this game, the "Sony Ex-clusive". The begining didn't sold it to me, but In the end I had a good time with the game.
Like with God of War, this is another game that fears losing player interest, to me, it's clear they have a department studying "how to not make the common player feel bad", I do not think this is something that is all positive, sometimes it looks like it's pampering in fear that players will stop playing if they don't advance or find some type of collectible every 3 minutes.

Swinging through the city can be fun, and I give credits here, you have the freedom to make this more fun and faster using different moves, so it's not just press a button and keep it straight.
Combat uses the same basics from Batman, with no lock, attack button and "counter" button, not really my type, but the aerial combos are fun and then pulling and throwing things with the web, these, and dropping enemies from buildings(I'm not killing anyone, it's all gravity's fault... just kidding, the web will save them). There is also a good variety of gadgets and attacks using the web.

There's a good number of supervillains in the game, but only one, or maybe one and a half, have a good screentime, it seemed too rushed. The tone wasn't very good, usually too light, but I won't be too harsh here(the problem is probably elsewhere, I believe this is how Marvel ♥♥♥♥ is treated | also some characters are different from the 90's cartoon, that's the only Spider-Man I know), yet there are 2 really tough moments throughout the story.
The soundtrack for the most part is awful, generic and boring.

After a good experience with Spider-Man, I even think in giving Batman another shot in the future(but for sure it won't be the awful Arkham Asylum), I think that's the better praise I can give to this game.
