Was hovering over the 'uninstall' prompt for this game on my Steam Deck, and mulled over if I'd ever give it another chance. Maybe with a few more patches or something?

But on reflection, no, there's not really much here. A totally soulless, ugly game. Before I even hit the two hour mark, I was having to check off a laundry list of tasks to unlike something as basic as a glide for my character. Who enjoys this? I like a grindy 'podcast game' as much as the next man, but this was just so dry. I already felt I was playing on autopilot, with no actual sense of wonder or excitement about this open world Gotham.

The combat is okay at first and feels like they've made some neat distinctions from the usual Arkham fare - but the more you mess with it, the more you realize how shallow it is. Holding a button for a heavy attack is certainly different from Arkham, but not in a truly meaningful way, when everything else feels so similar.
