Dropping Paul Dini was a mistake because the in-house writers were woefully unprepared and the story is laughably stupid at times but the gameplay is still some of the best in this specific genre of third-person action games. They've made certain tweaks to the overall system that resulted in some jankiness compared to the previous games but nothing too bad.

The game still looks incredible, genuinely better than the lot of AAA games released in the years since. The batmobile is fun albeit a bit overused, especially towards the end. It's a solid game, just not the satisfying conclusion I was hoping for, for this otherwise incredible series. Oh well.
