Picked this up on GamePass this week and it's much better than I was expecting after the negative reviews.
It plays nicely, the story is fairly engaging thus far and the characters all play a little differently which is nice. The combat isn't as engaging as Batman, but as a casual pick up and play it's just what I was after!
I'm only near the start, but HQ handing over a book and a balloon was really cinematic last night when the music kicked in. Loved it.

Were the negative reviews ever about it's story or the fact that it ran like dogshit and wasn't any serious advancement upon Arkham Knight?

Runs pretty great on Series X, but perhaps it's been patched into decent shape.

Panning the camera in this really fucked with my eyes, but aside from that it's an acceptable 30 I guess. Not sure I'd class it as pretty great in any way.

My son is really enjoying it but he has never played any of the batman games so hasn't got that comparison.

I started off thinking it was decent and not seeing what all the hate was about.
It's not a bad game, it's just not a very good game either.

I started it the other night and it's got a horrible budget feel imo. The city is so lifeless (no explanation unlike the Arkham games where they always had some throwaway) and the worst thing is the feel. Everything feels weighty in a bad way.
The sound design is horrible. The grapple effect sounds like a placeholder and it feels shit. Directly in comparison to Arkham it's worse without a doubt. The combat is also much less responsive feeling and definitely doesn't match up.
Overall so far pretty shit.

If you've ever wanted to drive a motorcycle with the performance of a pizza delivery scooter around Gotham it's the perfect game.

Imagine if it actually was a live service game, as every single thing in the game paints it as.
