Wow, what a great game that holds up. I played it in upscaled 1080p (4K) and it's just beautiful on modern hardware and performs great.

Mark Hamill is the star of the show. His Joker narration drives the game forward and keeps you sucked in. And of course Batman's actor from the animated series is also here and is the consistent rock that anchors Joker's insanity. The immersion backed up by the fantastic "free flowing" combat system. I played the game on Normal but there is also Hard mode for those that feel it needs more challenge. I would even say this combat system is still better (in my opinion) that the Shadow of Mordor / Shadow of War that adopted it, if you've played those games. It's just a bit more streamlined and tighter feeling (but not as many moves). A lot of villains make an appearance and they are each satisfyingly portrayed.

Don't expect a superb boss fight for each villain; some are represented more as threats to deal with in other ways than in direct combat. It's more about the immersion, there.
