Ballistics Report


Pros


One of the best action games ever made. Can beat the same person up over and over and it still feels fresh.

Gorgeous visuals.

Exemplary voice acting. Mark Hamill is the best Joker. Just saying.

Well-written plot.

Excellent open-world setting.

Tons of content. A decent-sized campaign, tons of side-missions, hundreds of collectibles, and over a dozen challenges.

Excellent soundtrack.

Some side-missions are of a stellar quality





Cons


Bug-ridden mess. Though most of my crashing ended with the patch, the two week wait is inexcusable.

Poor DX11 performance.

No significant improvements to non-combat mechanics. Stealth, though it works well enough, could be better.

Same boring enemies. There’s one henchman cloned a thousand times.

So-so boss fights. Nothing exciting, nothing memorable, very few to begin with. At least they’re varied.

Repetitive.

Backtracking. The length of the game is unnecessarily padded.

Progress-impeding gamification. This is aimed at the side-missions.

God-awful DRM. Pirates shouldn’t be getting a better experience than legit customers.
