Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
98 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Just for the narrative's sake I can recomend it since beating it also means getting rid off the trainwreck that was Arkham: Origins, its DLCs and everything these prequel tales offer story-wise to finally leave them behind you, I sure feel as such.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On the other hand, graphics are definitelly servicable and art design is just as good and reflects the atmophere well enough, yet too much background detailing seldomly made trying to understand where to go next a challenge, not that big a deal but still.
Audio
