This was my first experience with a Batman related videogame.In terms of gameplay it's satisfying, the gadgets are very useful, and the combat is pretty fun.

The world looks absolutely breathtaking, Gotham is a beauty, a dark, atmospheric and post apocalyptic vibe that fits the tone of the game perfectly. Exploring with the Batmobile or gliding from the buildings feels amazing, doing side activities and upgrading the skill tree, finding clues, getting to know the villains better and all that stuff, there are a lot of things to do in this game.

Now let's talk a little bit about the Batmobile. Personally I actually liked it for the most part, driving feels great, the issue is, the Batmobile is overused, and even though I really liked driving around and taking down enemy tanks and helicoptets, it got exhausting near the end, and the tank boss fights are extremely infuriating, specifically the stealth talk boss fight was an absolute pain.

The story is relatively simple with some interesting plot twist along the way, but the pacing... oh well... the pacing is atrocious, it's all over the place, random errands as I'm doing something very important, backtracking to an entire different location on the map just for something that doesn't add anything to the story... it's such a mess, I'm genuinely wondering what were they thinking.

At times I felt like I was doing chores, and some of the puzzles are very confusing, I didn't particularly enjoy them and I wish there was less stealth and just more action overall.

Lastly I wanna point out the fact that you can play with multiple characters in some missions, well that was actually a surprising addition, I liked it!

I really wanted to enjoy this game and to some extent I definitely did but there are some parts about it that could've been handled way better, it's not bad by any means, it's just not really the best way to end a trilogy.

Final Rating: "Good" ~ 7/10.
