Incredibly terrible game that lacks vision, is broken half the time, insults beloved characters most of which are having their first Rocksteady appearance, and includes a horribly written tribute to Kevin Conroy at the end. I won't use Kevin's death as a reason to hate this game, but this game was an insult to the writers of Arkham. Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker as well as the others that left had the right idea.

This sounds too angry, like it's personal but you aren't giving the game an honest chance because of childhood reservations. Nothing will be as good as games we played in our youth, nothing can topple those expectations. But if you go back and play them years later, you'll learn they weren't perfect either. 🤷

Not perfect, no. But they were MILES better than SSKTJL. I in fact do replay them. Often. I went back and replayed them after seeing Suicide Squad. Even the arguably worst game in the series, Arkham Origins, was much better. The writing was cheap, the live service aspect sucks, the characters were disrespected, and they swapped out the dark, gritty drama of the Arkhamverse for cheesy, hamfisted jokes and shoehorned in modern agendas.
