Great UI, beautiful graphics, high quality voice-acting that the franchise is known for, and the biggest world map with incredible attention to detail, condensed with so much Batman history that it feels like the most complete love letter to the Batman mythos yet. An interesting reimagining of one of Batman's well-known stories.

But yeah... that's about it for it's good points. The boss fights in this game are unbelievably disappointing (there is only ONE boss that's an actual beatdown boss and doesn't rely on the Batmobile, and I wish I was kidding), and the over reliance on the Batmobile is stifling and detrimental. Combat is good, but hasn't evolved noticeably further from Arkham City. It's also definitely one of the weaker stories in the franchise, if not the weakest, with an ending full of plot holes and plot twists that will become obvious to anyone familiar with Batman's mythos.

Also, you need to get all 243 Riddler trophies to see the definitive ending, which is just terrible... Just replay Arkham City instead.
