So I bought this game today and its by far a big contender for Singleplayer game of the year.
The gameplay is a mixture of stealth/horror/action/CSI-Investigation.
You will literally at times be dropped into a room with 8-10 enemies and have to bust skulls.
The combat is simple yet extremely deep. You have dogde, punch,stun, and counter, and you can use batarangs and the bat-claw and other items in combat.
At other times you will be in a room where the enemies are armed to the teeth with guns, and stealth is not just an option, but a neccesisty, since machine guns can mow Batman down.
That just adds to the fun as you really feel like Batman, jumping from hiding spot to hiding spot picking off enemies.
The graphics are great and the story is pretty involving.
The bossfights are right up there with some of the best bosses in history. I dont want to spoil anything, but I will say that Scarecrow might be the next Psycho Mantis.
There is a Wayne Tech upgrade system that will let you use exp points from downing enemies and such to buy health upgrades, fighting upgrades, and tool upgrades (Multiple Batarangs=Win.)
Everything in the game for the most part feels and looks natural and fantastic. I havent beaten the game yet, and I havent touched the Scenario type mode where you have to do a specific objective in a room, but Ill add it later once I try it
