Pretty modest set up but with low settings for most options and normal detail (instead of low) engaged, this game is VERY playable. I haven't experienced and screen tearing, stutters, hiccups, etc. It's quite smooth even with all the rain in the game. Granted, this is a lower resolution than full HD 1080p but it's great fun and works fantastic all things considered. For $30 off the price, it's worth it!
Technical Performance: I purchased in May of 2017 after the patch(s) were released and I find that the game plays as well as any of the former ones did. I haven't experienced any technical issues.
Game-play: The open-world feel is very similar to Arkham City. The game starts with a premise that conveniently empties the streets of all but the bad guys so it has the same relatively empty, criminal element playground feel. Combat and stealth starts with many of the moves that you had in the previous games and builds on them - to the point where I couldn't effectively utilize all of the combat moves available to me. It's a bit too much in my opinion. I seem to get by fine with the standard hit, counter and evade moves. Stealth adds the ability to chain attacks so you can take down multiple foes who are close to one another. This could potentially make the stealth segments pretty quick except for the fact that they've added the ability to revive enemies which I find to be incredibly annoying as it forces you to take down enemies much more quickly. I prefer to plot my approach and take enemies out one at a time using the features of the environment that make the most sense so this element made stealth feel too rushed for my tastes. This, the focus on combat, and the car make the overall game-play more action-focused than previous games. Whether you like this or not depends on your preferred style of play.
The Car: This is the newest element of game-play and it's such a big element that it deserves its own section. Many people seem to hate this addition to the game. I think it's generally okay but it is very different from the approach of any of the other franchises. There are some missions that require the car but many do not explicitly require it. Personally, I'm fine with the car in its normal driving and combat modes but there's one element that I find incredibly annoying: the puzzles. You find yourself in many situations that require you to use the car to solve puzzles through a combination of driving and using what is essentially an electrified harpoon gun. I find many of these missions to be incredibly frustrating. Some require you to climb objects or otherwise move about manipulating elements of the environment with one false moving sending you back to the beginning of your tedious trek. There's also an electrical powering mechanic that I find almost impossible to master, resulting in endless frustration. So yeah, these things I could do without.
Story: I've played about 20 hours so far and am maybe a third of the way through the key elements (not counting all the Riddler items of course). I don't find the story quite as immersive as the previous titles (particularly Arkham Asylum which I thought was excellent). Although I do enjoy the Joker elements to the game very much - These were always the strongest elements of the previous games as well.
