There's just tons to like, aside from doing open world traversal etc. really fucking well. There's a good line of humour in even the daft collectable shite, the got a snort from me.

Erm. Is that a ‘secret photo’?

About to hit last section and only just discovered secret photos! Didn’t know they were a thing.

Aaaaaaand.... I’m done. 

Fucking amazing game. And to think I was gonna pass on it and only played it cos Boris was lending it out. What a knob I am.

Need to finish this. Though I just started God Of War so it's not looking good.

really got into this over Christmas after buying it in the Black Friday sale. The city looks so beautiful, and the gameplay is like a perfect balance of Arkham and Infamous (yes, I loved the first Infamous).

Check Howlongtobeat. I’d say around 15 hours.

Yar, game seems pretty lean (in modern terms) if you mainline it. Even the bloat ain’t that...er, bloaty.

I think all the extra stuff is cosmetic except the L3+R3 suit power (that isn't tied to your suit) thing. But I only ever use the web everyone up one and that's an early unlock anyway, so I don't think you'll have any speed bumps or difficulty spikes.

Yeah it’s a tight game. I plat’ed it and that my one and only of that colour. The problem will come with the sequels where they’ll start bulking out with loads of unwanted bulk. In fact just what the Arkham games did.

Aye, it's like a win button on easy mode.

Just done a stealth challenge and failed it loads of times on the last two guys near the hostages. Tried all sorts, including my million web spinning thing, the skill that staggers the guy when you do the triangle button zipline KO (the fella still "spotted" Spidey while dazed and face down on the floor), the stealth boost thing, trip mines and all sorts. The web grenade worked in the end, took one out and I launched myself at the other.

Is there a better way of taking out two close baddies that I'm missing? Even when I did it the spotting icon was filling up, so there's a chance it won't work every time. I couldn't just pull one away either as they were under a walkway without a perch nearby. Doing that has made me realise that I really neglect the gadgets, might try experimenting.

Yeah those little Spidey-droid bits were pretty tedious and that’s the sort of thing I can see them adding in more. Plus The thing I’d like them to work on is the environment. Try and really bring the city alive like a GTA game. Arkham never got anywhere with that by evacuating the city at the start of each sequel.

I'm currently on the last DLC pack. The DLC is good but I feel it overeggs the pudding. The base game has just the right amount of content - you'll 100% it just as it starts to get boring. There's nothing wrong with the DLC as such but it doesn't have the variation you'd get from a proper sequel and it ends up being more content than I actually wanted. Plus I find myself having to grind the new crimes because there isn't enough traversal to do them organically.

It’s not this one, is it?

Not that one, I think this was to the west of the map. I'll have a check once Nate has done this demon base.

Andy, it was the Hell's Kitchen one right on the Western edge of the island. The two guys are just stood by the hostage, not patrolling or anything so they had to be done at the same time.
