I actually enjoyed this a lot. I think the PS3/360 era was the peak for open world games when they were made with a focus on fun rather than tedious collectibles. Everything here serves its purpose well and instead of feeling like a meaningless collectathon like modern AC games I found myself enjoying traversing the city like I was playing GTA.
The best part of this game is how it drip feeds you new powers and tools to play with that make combat seem fresh. The story is nothing special but it kept me engaged and I liked the characters. Traversal was fun but a way to launch off the ground like in Second Son would have made it much more fluid.
Overall, it's a little dated yes but it reminds me of why I loved the PS3 generation so much, first party developers weren't afraid to work on their own new IPs and be creative. It's also pretty cool that this stands up there with other superhero games despite not having any licensed or popular characters.
