So I originally thought that I liked this game. And for a single, casual playthrough I still do. However I recently decided to try 100%ing all the Arkham games and I've already done Asylum and City. However, in attempting to complete this game I've run into significant issues. I knew it had a reputation for being a little glitchy which I thought I could handle, but it's not just the glitches, it's the asinine Dark Knight progression system, arbitrary unlocks and the ease in which you can lock yourself out of certain achievements for the rest of a playthrough. One of the progression paths involves stopping a crime in every district, but after the Firefly fight on the bridge, crimes no longer spawn there. Additionally, to do the predator challenges, you better friggin' hope that you did it right because it doesn't notify you unless you complete the predator arena, in which it SAVES THE DAMN GAME so you can't retry so you can literally run out of predator arenas before completing the progression system. My final point is obviously the multiplayer achievements for a game whose servers went offline in 2016, enough said.

I work on automation all day. Then I get home and I play this game. What does that say about me?
Game is good if you want to kill time but also have to think.

It's Prey meets Control meets Powerwash Simulator. This game was made for me.

I cannot stress this enough, it is better than most official Half-Life Games. It was better than Black Mesa, Blue Shift, Opposing Force, Decay, and Episode 1.

I love Arkane. I have played Dishonored 18 times, Prey 9 times, Dishonored 2 12 times, Death of the Outsider 4 times, and Deathloop twice but have probably cycled over 50 times. I had a great time playing this game with 3 friends. Up until you load the second area. I have been troubleshooting this for 3 hours but we are entirely unable to all load into the same location. One of our members it still says "Loading" but he is able to control his character with no sight or sound. I am an Arkane superfan and cannot in good conscience recommend this game to anyone until it is inevitably fixed. Deathloop and Dishonored 2 had rough PC releases as well but I would still consider 3 of the last 5 Arkane games to be genre defining masterpieces meaning this will get fixed. As of now, do not buy this game.

It may be simple, but no other game makes you feel inside the song like this game does.

It honestly invalidates all other first person adventure VR games. I can't believe it's really this good.
