As soon as I heard that this game was set in the Arkham verse I knew people were going to expect another Arkham style game and feel. However this is completely different, it's a loose style main story looter shooter. This game, without trying to give spoilers, is all about going around metropolis killing all the brainiac minions and leveling up the 4 main playable characters with killing the justice league as more of a side mission. Flash was a high speed chase with trying to get shots off before he zips away, GL was a no holds barred grudge match with him sending his constructs to kill you, Batman was a stage fight where you had to get a timed shot off and then unload at his face, Superman was by far the hardest as he was nearly everything combined into one fight. All that being said the boss fights, in my opinion playing on the hardest difficulty allowed at the start, were not that difficult. The only boss fights that are truly hard are brainiac's, which makes sense. However I feel like killing the justice league should've been harder as they are the world's greatest heroes. I would give this game a 7/10 based off the city of metropolis looking absolutely beautiful, each character has something different and unique about him or her, the character designs, and the fact that once you beat the main story there is miles more things to do to level up and face harder foes. I love the Arkham games for obvious reasons, personally I feel like Knight was the best one so you can take that into account.
This game is not for everyone and I understand that and that's all good with me. Does it "ruin the Arkham verse" and that Batman? I would say that I would've enjoyed Batman's story more if it wasn't tied to a version that was unstoppable for years in Gotham defeating every criminal that came in his way. I do want to say that if you love DC, the Justice League, the Suicide Squad, or just think it looks cool then give it a try. If you don't like it then cool at least you said you tried, just don't make assumptions based off what someone that hasn't even played it yet.
