Gameplay

143 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay, if a little easy, has only seen a nice polish and really benefits from a tremendous leap in technology as there is a lot more interactivity with the environment and a lot more integration with Batman's gadgets.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
136 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As mentioned, there's a lot Rocksteady are aiming to deliver on and the main story especially gives arguably the best Batman experience money can buy.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

Flawless Combat System (Freeflow): The series' signature combat system reaches its peak in this game.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is diverse and the difficulty level is well-balanced, so it never felt boring to me.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is a console port admittedly so I'd recommend bringing a controller but the main game was solid and sturdy running at a consistent 90 fps.
