Don’t let the recommended PC specs scare you away from this game. I was expecting it to run like absolute garbage after seeing those requirements, but surprisingly, it ran really smoothly for me. There are still a few areas where the optimisation could be better, but overall, I’m genuinely impressed. After [b]Batman™: Arkham Knight[/b] in 2015, I honestly didn’t expect another Batman game to give me this much fun. The story is actually pretty solid, and all those little moments inspired by the Batman movies and animated shows are such a nice touch. Also, I seriously wasn’t expecting the map to be this HUGE. And the Batcave… bro. This might genuinely be my favourite version of the Batcave in any Batman game so far. Well, I had a really good time with it. If you’re a Batman fan, this is definitely worth playing. 🦇
TLDR: Main game is worth the buy, the DLC is NOT. It's a great game. The city is very well made and the exploration is good, combat can be a bit repetitive but I think it's mostly fine since you can use different characters and they all have different abilities. The main game is seriously a 10/10, but the new DLC is just not it. I expected it to be Joker and Harley Quinn playable in the main game with a new area that you can explore but that's just not it... it's a completely new mode and it's basically just go in, kill enemies, click some buttons to rob some stuff and then extract. There's a little bit of story but it's like not even an hour long, I really wish they made it like the first LEGO Batman where you actually did story missions as the villains but no instead they just made it a simple gamemode added a few costumes called it a day and make you pay €25. There's not even a skill tree for Joker and Harley Quinn, seriously disappointed.
The DLC is unbelievably baaaad, don’t waste your time. The game itself is awesome though. All the references are great and yeah... I still miss when LEGO games gave us a huge roster of superheroes and villains you didn’t even know existed. 8/10, definitely recommend it
