Why would anyone play this game on purpose?
It’s only cool to fly around as Superman, the rest of this game is boring.

Didn’t realize this was literally a children’s game
Now, just because a game is for children doesn’t mean it’s bad. This is certainly not a good video game whatsoever.
Superman: Shadow of Apokolips features some nice cutscenes that feel straight out of the 90’s cartoon. They’re not amazing, but they’re definitely nostalgic and set the mood well. While it’s fun to fly around Superman and he controls surprisingly well, everything else about this game is downright terrible. Mission design is monotonous and predictable, sound effects are some of the worst ever, and the whole game is so lifeless. There’s no challenge to be had. There’s no fun combat to participate in. There’s no good level design. There’s no good boss fights. It’s just plain bad.
This game reminds me Devil May Cry 2; devoid of any good design decisions, lifeless levels without any structure, piss-poor action that all comes together to create a game without any semblance of fun. I had more fun playing Batman: Dark Tomorrow.
2/10

Not nearly as offensive as Superman 64, but controls are very stiff still. Very boring mission objectives, game couldn't hold my attention. Shame we still don't have a good Superman game yet.
