It's been a little while now since I completed this but here are my thoughts.

 

Gameplay

Gameplay felt like it was missing something. I found myself craving more complexity from both the stealth and the brawler sections. It wasn't bad, I think the impacts in combat FEEL incredible, and it's really fun to get a high combo but I wish there was more I could do with the gadgets. I also wish the game pushed us more into higher stress situations that required more thorough planning and execution. A lot of the boss design were overly simplistic but since I have a lot of games under my belt, I think my initial pov for this when it dropped was much stronger because I hadn't experienced as much back then. With that in mind, gliding is still so much fun. My main gripe with this whole series is honestly the riddler trophies. I think some of them were really fun to get this time around, but there were also some where I was more annoyed than anything else. At least they gave us the ability to beat people up for trophy locations but that just added game time than any fun to me. My favorite gadgets were definitely the ice ones, they were both dope!

 

Story

I think the story had some good moments, I LOVED the finale. I still remember how my jaw dropped the first time I played it, and even though I knew it was coming, I was still able to appreciate how far it decided to go! I loved the story with Talia and Ra's al Ghul. I think the characters this game brings to the table definitely adds a lot of fun DC flavors. I do wish we had a few more focused side stories or that some of them were a little less tedious, but that's more about gameplay than the story. I feel like some of them could've had more narrative to them because I really appreciate when a batman game can teach you about new or different dc villains than the usual. I think some of the pacing felt off but that was primarily due to my riddler trophy collecting.

 

Soundtrack

PHENOMENAL. I don't have many notes. It perfectly sets the tone, the instrumentation feels like classic batman. It knows when to calm down, and when to build up to big moments. I think it also makes you really take in the city while feeling like you ARE batman. The grandiosity that comes from being Bruce Wayne.

 

Visuals

There's a reason you'll still see people posting images on twitter from the Arkham games. They looked fantastic back then, and still do. Yes, some of the character outfit designs weren't my favorite, but I still liked what they did with the entire game. Beautiful architecture, enamoring rain, ominous locations. The game's got it ALL.

A gritty, chaotic playground packed with Gotham’s worst—and I loved every minute. Playing as Batman feels powerful, but switching to Catwoman? So fun. Her segments add flair and agility, and Harley Quinn brings her usual unhinged energy to every scene.

A lot going on at the same time, it was hard to focus sometimes with the constant stimuli in the audio
