this game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks and is barely even a skate. game.

I played this game when I was younger and mostly forgot about it. I have heard things over the years about this being the greatest video game superhero franchise of all time, I have played quite a few games in this genre and after playing this games main story (cant be bothered with DLC or other content at the moment), I would be inclined to agree. Even some newer titles in the genre touted as the greatest in it such as Sony's Spiderman games still I would say lack in many aspects to this game.

This game's combat is definitely the most refined "arkham style" combat, the modern spiderman games feel worse than this game's and they use the same combat system, now for me I personally don't like arkham style combat, but I will say for this combat system it does it best. Many complain of the bat mobile combat, but personally I found it to be okay, I didn't find it to be that bad although I guess they could have toned down how much bat mobile combat there is though. Like I said, not a huge fan of arkham style combat so the retreats from that to doing combat in the bat mobile I enjoyed.

The game's story was fine, nothing too great, but it's engaging and in a video game that's what matters, if you want a great story go watch a movie. Basically the story revolves around hunting the Arkham Knight and Scarecrow which make for pretty cool villains, there are a few hooks and turns in the story which keep you engaged.

Now the graphics really enhance the experience of this game, this game's main masterpiece in this department is the post-processing. This games post-processing is master class and I have never seen a game that masters post-processing quite like this one, if this game didn't have the post processing it did the graphics wouldn't still be talked about to this day, this further proves art design > technical complexity (take notes modern devs). For how this game runs, as long as you have a half decent card from the past 10 years it will be fine, I played half of this on my Linux PC with which runs an RX 580 and it ran great at 1440p max settings on there too.

Overall $20 I would say is worth it for this game, I got it on humble bundle for $5 for the premium edition though so I would say just buy from there or other such sites instead. Definitely an experience worth checking out especially if you enjoy superhero games and you haven't already played this one.

Well I would have liked to have played it, but unfortunately the game on my system will open the Easy Anticheat launcher then proceed to never open the game itself. I waited 20 minutes for it to launch and even reinstalled it with no solution, great game!

Amazing game paired with a terrible launcher, buy somewhere else or ☠︎︎.

Engaging, well written story, and great game mechanics such as the combat. This was the game that sold me on the Yakuza 0 (It's a prequel so it is supposed to be your first Yakuza game) and I believe if you try it, you will be too

Cool concept but in practice the main problem is that it uses too much resources. Even on a single monitor setup like mine I get 30% GPU utilization for a animated wallpaper that I barely look at. Overall it's okay but I only recommend it if you can take the massive performance hit.

Most boring racing sim i've ever played.

Doom

Builds off of Doom 2016 well and fine tunes the game play to be even more fast paced and full of action than 2016, also it will run on anything that isn't a potato so it makes for a good game to buy if you have a low spec PC or laptop.

Beautiful but unoptimized, worst PC port from Sony but still a good port (make sure to have at least a GTX 1060 6 GB or equivalent for this game). Game is not for me, but it isn't a bad game.
