This is the perfect Steam Deck game! The races are short and fun, usually.

There is always a stupid car ready to block you from winning, but that's where the fun part is.
It's cheap, and DLCs actually add a good amount of content and are cheap.
It's a port from mobile and it looks really but gameplay is where this shines. There are a total of 35 vehicles and lots and lots of track to test your mantle.

Highly recommended.

It's an interactive movie with a kind of OK story. It's worse than its predecessor, that's for sure.
More Thomas bad and Rich bad things, like the writer probably had a personal grudge. Batman is treated like garbage in this one but the dynamic with Joker is what saves this.
Recommended if you crave more Batman.

It's an interactive movie but the story is almost good. The way Thomas Wayne is depicted is... controversial. It's like a socialist writing a fan-fic :D
But overall, other aspects like the handling of Penguin & Joker are interesting. (could have been better).
A mixed bag but as there is no middle option, I'm saying yes.

Time to freeze!
Great depiction of Mr. Freeze and an awesome story. Also, more Batman so what's not to like?

Pretty good Batman adaption!
The legendary vigilante, who is a myth, and the way criminals talk about him and the way Batman packs punches in this one is extra-ordinary!
There are bugs but this game is quite underrated in the Arkham series. A must-play!

The game has hugely improved since its launch. b
The SP campaign is worth it (even if shallow) and MP stuff is optional but the community is good.
Good for the price I paid (Thanks, Humble!)
It's still great in late 2024 and growing!

Also, Thanks for the badge, Gaben!

Hades.. a highly acclaimed game with overwhelming positive reviews and they are not all wrong per say! This is a good game but with one caveat: It's repetitive!
The story, characters, art work, soundtrack and even gameplay is kickass! But it's too much grind, especially to achieve the "epilogue", which I think is a definitive ending. I just abandoned it because even some story points are RNG based and it's a no-no for me.
I'd give this game a solid 7.5/10 but the main marks are removed for stupid repetition, grind and RNG to achieve the endgame (and to unlock many achievements, which again, depends on RNG gods).

Recommended if you like Good Music and Art Work. Avoid if you hate repetition.

Just completed it and it was good!
The combat is easy to learn but hard to master. Your one slice kills enemies (except the bosses) and their one shot/slice kills you so the normal fights are OK but the boss fights are annoying as there are many cheap deaths involved.

I quit the game 2-3 times due to frustrating Boss fights but quickly completed them after the re-install! IDK, that just worked. Though, the payoff (story-wise) was not worth it but still, beating this, felt like an achievement!

The story is ambiguous at best and not complete (free dlc is in work), music is kickass and there are some funny interactions.

Recommended on Sale.

I have giveng negative reviews but... Avoid this game, even on a sale!

The graphics are good, mostly but everything else just sucks or is lazy design.
First, everything is sloooooowwwwww; like how the heck did they manage to make a game this slow?! So many stupid forceful animations every few seconds that gameplay feels like a chore. The world-building is good but the actual story sucks with more loose ends than you can count! You can predict the twist and the probable story after first 20 or mins so nothing extra ordinary in that and in a walking simulator, story should be the highlight.

So, I would not recommend this even on a sale price. Go watch some YouTube playthrough instead.

Well, stupid requirement to review a game for a badge but yeah, this game is good but the sequel is even better!
