I have not played such a buggy mess since AC Valhalla. There are bugs everywhere - when you fly, your cape sometimes doesn't properly render, it's as though you're about to land and you're flying at the same time and it's one of the ugliest things imaginable. Sometimes, especially during predatory encounters the textures get all messed up and half of your screen is the texture of a table or whatever else the game likes. During the Deadshot encounter, I had to redo it a few times because you're supposed to take down Deadshot and get a cutscene. I didn't get the cutscene, Deadshot is just staying down and I can't progress, when I leave the room and come back I have to start the whole encounter all over again. There are random sound drops sometimes. The Croc fight is straight up unable to render properly, you either don't see Croc and/or you have no sound during the fight. Oh, and it crashed like 5 times on me until I finally beat it. The Bane fight on top of the Gotham Hotel crashed 2-3 times. It's just way too frustrating to play and I unistalled and reinstalled because these bugs piss me the hell off. The rest of the game is good, they reused a lot of the same Riddler puzzles from Arkham City without any great variation but it's still somewhat fun. The story is interesting although I prefer Asylum and City Joker way more but it's evident the developers at least put a lot of work and care in creating their own version of the villains and they largely succeeded. The gadgets are mainly reused from City with only 1 new toy and even then it's mostly a different variantion of the tightrope. If I didn't have the bugs, I'd consider this game a solid 4/5, good story but a lot of reused content and very little innovation in terms of gameplay. But with these god damn bugs which have costed my a few hours of my life, f*ck you WB and fix your goddamn games before you release them to the public. Final score 2/5, go fix your game.
