Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 25, 2026)

Brick built brawling across an open city earns this caped crusader adventure 89.1, top 20% of games we analyzed.

👍 Strengths

140 reviews call it fun and a joy to play, praising the open world, combat, suits and vehicles. 91 admire the visuals, describing pretty graphics and high production values, and some single out how good Gotham looks on dark, rainy rooftops. 44 enjoy the story, which follows the hero from his origins and weaves decades of film, comic and game references into one narrative with plenty of humor. Visuals & Sound ranks 194th of 1249, Story & World ranks 434th of 1096, and Gameplay ranks 381st of 1396.

👎 Where it falls short

53 reviews report performance problems, including frame drops, stutters and freezes in the open world even on low settings. 33 question the price and value for the amount of content, and some object to outfits locked behind subscriptions, sign ups or physical purchases. 30 find parts repetitive, from combat and enemies to collectible hunting, and a few say the city feels empty after the main story. Pricing & Fairness ranks 914th of 1399, and Tech & Support ranks 609th of 1399.
