Additional strong points are the branching narratives that force impossible choices with meaningful consequences, and the 'Shadows Mode' art style which was absolutely gorgeous.

The voice acting is strong, the atmosphere feels like Gotham, and when the game lets Batman actually be Batman, it's great.

The story was interesting, because the origin of some villains were reimagined and one even created specifically for this game, the music, the artwork, the character design, like always for games at this studio is top-notch.
