29th Jan - These knighthood missions to gain basic traversal mechanics are a chore. Everything in this game is so slow and the hostage bomb type crime sucks. The stealth doesn't work and isn't implemented in gameplay (you cannot stealth the bigger foes). It's so spongy with combat. The knighthood system disincentivizes to play as anything but the character I main. The open world stuff is so bad that for crime types I do not like, I simply disengage with them and ignore them completely. The fact that I am a superhero matters not since I could not be subjected to more spongy slow combat after spongy slow traversal. If the whole game was on a 2x speed timer, I wouldn't complain.

30th Jan - That Harley battle with the Basher and the other big dude while also stopping 3 bombs from detonating every 10 seconds while solo along with elements of the Freeze fight (the random Lazer patterns) truly make this game horrendous for single player.

31st Jan - I do think it bears mentioning but civilians are just everywhere in this game. Even in the middle of the open world crimes and they are just chilling on a park bench and droning on random pedestrian dialogue while a hulking figure is getting molly whopped.
5th February - Finally got really annoyed at the game and after the first battle it Man-bat which the game asks you to do 3 more times in the open world, I said screw it and set the game on the easiest difficulty just to get rid of this thing. The battles were becoming so spongy on Medium difficulty that it was not even difficult but frustrating due to how slow and stiff the whole game is. Decent story though all things considered. Talia's betrayal is too sudden and the court of owls well and truly do not have anything left to give plot wise after killing Jacob Kane. Finished all case files (main story and side quests).
