It had a shitload of badass moments but there were some little things that annoyed me.

CONS:

- No batcave
- I can't summon Robin to fight with me
- Joker frequently breaks immersion
- No civilized Gotham to fight thugs in after main story
- The game made me kill my favorite fucking villain as Joker

PROS:

- Batmobile is badass
-  Batman is badass
- Catwoman is badass
- Scarecrow is badass
- Gordon is badass
- Robin is badass
- Combat is satisfying as hell
- The main story kept me engaged
- Side missions are wicked crispy
- The "I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman" line made me jizz

Objections:

Cons
-what purpose would a batcave serve?
-"civilized" gotham seems like a lot of work with no payoff
-not sure what you meant by "the game made me kill my favourite villain as joker"

Pros
-Battle mode is contrived and mundane
-Gordon is annoying (voice actor's fault)
-Combat is dumbed down from City and Origins
-side missions are a let down, the longest missions are the most repetitive
-"i am vengeance. I am the night. I am batman" was ridiculously cringe-worthy. Thanks, Kevin Conroy.

- It would make my nerd heart happy
- Just put a few civ npcs here and there. Not that fucking hard
- Riddler has always been my favorite and I had to fucking kill him
- I didn't call his voice badass you tard.
- What do you expect from a batman game? The combat is simple and fun.
- I for one enjoyed knocking the shit out of Two-Face
- IT IS NOT CRINGY. IT IS FUCKING BADASS AND YOU CAN FUCK YOURSELF. DEATHSTROKE IS A BITCH. I RAPED YOUR SISTER WHEN SHE WAS 5 MOTHERFUCKER.

- Just put a few civ npcs here and there. Not that fucking hard
They would have to develop civilian AI and strategically place them. Not to mention, it would fuck with the Batmobile's functionality.

Riddler never dies, dude.

I expect better combat, because that's what I'm used to from these games.

Calm down. It has a pretty bad delivery, dude. The line is sick, though.

The good delivery.

- Fine
- Riddler doesn't really die but you still kill him in the hallucination
- Combat is pretty much the same
- How dare you not respect Batman's authority

So what.

- Combat is pretty much the same
There are half a dozen combat moves and enemy types missing from Knight to simplify the combat.

I thought the story was kind of a letdown. With this being the final installment, I expected the series to go out with a bang. The expanded gameplay features and open world met this demand but unfortunately the story did not. They even used plot points that are pretty common within the Batman franchise and even went with twists used earlier in the Arkham series. The stakes also seemed somehow lower at the end of this game compared to AC, despite their best attempts.

Harley Quinn and Red Hood DLCs were pretty lackluster compared to the Harley Quinn's Revenge from AC and seemed to have way less content.

Also why tf are there no challenge maps on the vanilla game? I'm hearing there will be a patch soon that will add them so I have to assume it was for spoiler concerns.

Do you have the sauce for this? I've heard other people say it but all I can gather is that you'll have to pay for them. Says so in the Season's Pass description.

Oh ok. I just heard people saying there would be a patch adding challenge maps and believed them. From what I understand, the PC game problems might be delaying it.

It's nice but it has it's problems. More so than the other Arkham games unfortunately
