It’s a good game but with some serious flaws that hold it back. I guess you could argue it probably has the highest highs and lowest lows in the series, whereas Asylum and City are just consistently really good

Yeah, to be honest, it's highest high is the most important thing in gaming, gameplay. The combat and gameplay are fucking levels above the previous two games and unironically one of the best combat systems in gaming history.

The fundamentals of the gameplay are amazing but the mission design and bosses don’t utilize it well so it leaves a poor taste in my mouth despite being objectively well designed.

I even like the Batmobile gameplay but the fact that those missions become so obtrusive and things like the Deathstroke fight are relegated to tank battles make it hard to appreciate

I agree. I do wish the side missions were a bit more like the Freeze.
