    Buggy and Unfinished

    I would like to start off by saying this game has great potential and the only reason I gave 3 stars is the fun story & narrative. That being said, the game comes "unfinished" with the alot of the game being buggy, choppy, and missing many sound effects and musical scores as if the game was rushed to be published. It makes the game feel unjoyable and very unprofessional by the game studio who developed this. They did add a patch that does fix alot and adds alot more animations and sounds, but I still find the game lacking alot. The graphics jump in and out of quality, the character animations are terrible with uneven voice levels and loading times are long. It took 25 seconds for a menu to load after my character picked up a collectible (After all patches were installed). This makes it feel like the game was created in 2005. If they made more updates to the game I'm sure it could be great because I love these style of games. I honestly wouldn't recommend it to anyone right now at its current state. The game did come in a great collectible case with limited edition player cards which is a plus I guess.

    Ok game I guess. It crashed on me several times in a three hour play session. I'm just glad I didn't pay anywhere near the full price amount. The art cards were nice though.

    a great story. really good for the choice based genre. the cards it comes with are neat too (limited edition) . the game play can be a bit odd and some trophies may be glitched, but overall a fun game. 6/10.

    If I only had this one game to play, then maybe I'd like it. That's not the case. I played for a few hours trying to like it. Couldn't do it. Slow game play, graphic glitches, and story to get an item takes the long way around. Had to give it one star, because I had to.

    Playing this game, there are lots of very noticeable frame drops. It's quite annoying. I have both the PS4 and Switch versions and they both have this issue. Hopefully enough people complain and there is a patch soon For the switch version, the text needs to be bigger in handheld mode. It's way too small. Also, no subtitles. Definitely not what I was expecting for a $50 game. It's more inline with a $30 price point. Wait for a price drop

    It’s a shame since everything else about the game is great but I can’t overlook the bugs. Crashed multiple times. Noir vibe and characters are great but technical limitations hinder it

    Unique title and premise. It's a little slow as far as action goes, but solid if you enjoy story based games.

    I got this game because I am familiar with the comic book. Great visuals, slow game play (character can only walk). My only complain with the game really is performance, the game was unplayable on a first generation PS4.
