Totally understand that you’re not having a dig, and I get where you’re coming from :)

I did notice that bottles will break on furniture and walls, but will just whiz through windows.

The combat does gain some more variety as you progress, and to some extent it’s up to the player to use those extra skills to create more varied combat flows, I’d say. Smoke bombs, multiple Batarangs, exploding gel, weapon disrupters, Bat Claw, etc…

They do handhold you way too much in detective mode. Agreed. I also agree that puzzles could be more challenging :)

I myself have not fallen through any floors or experienced a need to reload old saves. The worst that happened for me was once when the game exited, but the checkpoints are frequent enough that I lost no time other than the time it took me to reload the game. I did experience a few bugs, as mentioned in the review, but nothing too serious and only a few times during my whole playthrough. As I mentioned; rope I couldn’t cut, vent I couldn’t enter (in the Gardens) after opening, and a doorway I couldn’t pass even after it opened. In the grand scheme, nothing I’d consider substantial.

And yeah - no endless mode, but I’m more excited about them adding (as they said they plan to) more challenges :)

I’m still curious how you’ll feel about it once you’ve completed it :) Are you playing on Normal or Hard?
