Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I finished the story in Dark Knight mode, and honestly, it was not that difficult.
163 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
Combat is obviously inspired by the Arkham series, but it feels closer to Arkham City than Arkham Knight.
105 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is probably the biggest improvement compared to past LEGO Batman games.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The dark and gloomy spirit of Gotham is mixed in with the light-heartedness of LEGO, making for an almost oxymoronic playthrough that feels both immersive and fun, especially when the graphics look this good, too.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
Some of this might be because my CPU is weaker, so I can take some blame there, but the game still needs optimization patches.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Still, the difficulty was mostly enjoyable, and I liked that some levels were fun to play co-op with my girlfriend.
