What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The game is coming up to being twenty years old and I still found solving the riddles, watching the story and pounding hench thugs faces into flat circles effortlessly engaging.
Now sure, the gameplay mechanics might be a little bit rougher, I heard other Arkham games have it way more polished.
I ran everything at max very comfortably and other than early 2000's YouTube cutscenes the visuals are sharp and feel stylised without compromising fidelity.
The music, the voice-acting, SFX is joy to listen to.
- M+K is not the best, though easily manageable I would recommend a controller
I've played it on my home PC multiple times and just finished it on the Steam Deck.
