The verdict
A decent but mediocre Bat-Family action RPG with a good-looking Gotham and fun co-op, held back by clunky combat and traversal. Skip it if you expect Arkham quality or 4-player story co-op.
Great for
Bat-Family fans wanting a cheap co-op brawler with a friend who can drop Arkham expectations
Main risk
Expecting Arkham-level combat and traversal and getting clunky, repetitive gameplay
