Finished the game on PS5 prior to purchasing on Steam ($7.50).

Rating: 7/10 (Average)

Pros:
- The story is decent and does Batman justice in the beginning cutscene.
- The map design and atmosphere is good (not as good as Arkham Knight though).
- The characters are represented well - Nightwing, Barbara, Alfred and Batman are portrayed accurately and I could picture this game being part of the Arkhamverse.

Cons:
- The combat and traversal is pretty bad. Suicide Squad, despite being a worse game has much more fluid movement, traversal and combat (especially playing as Deathstroke in Season 4).
- The RPG elements aren't great and the UI in the menu is very cluttered and looks like a mobile game.
- Red Hood being fully non-lethal using rubber bullets in the game. The charm of Red Hood being an outcast in the Bat-Family and his willingness to kill that sets him apart from the others is one of my favourite traits regarding his character, which this game removed, making him one of the worst and least interesting characters out of the 4 playables.

If you are doing a playthrough of the Arkham Franchise I would recommend adding this game to the playthrough instead of Suicide Squad.
