Beat the game tonight and honestly, it's easily a 9/10 for me. Story and voice acting were good, played it entirely on my Steam Deck locked at 30fps and everything ran fairly smoothly on mostly high settings and it was characters in the Bat Family that I prefer over Batman himself. I liked the change of focus and the passing of the torch on several fronts in the game. My negatives against the game would be poor optimization, while the game did run fairly smoothly, I did get occasional freezes and crashes (though their frequency did decrease after the initial 2 patches) and I wish there were a few more villains to tackle in the game like Twoface or Catwoman. Overall it took me about 46 hours and I didn't complete every challenge or anything like that, just took my time and enjoyed the game.

My recommendation to anyone considering the game is this, the game may superficially seem like a springboard from Arkham Knight, but it's really not. If you go in expecting a sequel or a 1:1 copy of the Arkham gameplay you'll be disappointed, however there is a legitimately good game here that got needlessly crapped on prior to release and then several youtube personalities jumped on the bandwagon.

For me, the game was well worth what I payed for it. Personally, I see it as game of the year for myself because it lived up to my expectations and is more or less exactly what I wanted out of the game.
