I know I'm late to the party, but aaarghgg, it's so good.
One thing I'm constantly impressed with is the combat. When I played the demo last year I wrote it off as a crappy button masher, but having played it now for a while I can see how well done it actually is. It's mind-blowing to me how much fun they can make a what on the surface is a 2 button brawler, why hasn't it been done this elegantly before? And the animations are fucking fantastic, how can a game look this good but elsewhere in the industry some developers still have massive problems (eg: Bethesda)?
The combat has a great flow to it too but still requires a decent amount of skill in paying attention to your attackers, timing counters and tackling different types of thugs at once. On hard difficulty it's also a decent challenge, especially when you are being attacked by large groups of thugs at once. Batman isn't superhuman and he can and will die if you make a few mistakes. Sometimes I find myself barely making it through a tough fight alive and seeing that last slo-mo attack is incredibly satisfying. Other times I'm fucking Batman and feel like a total badass taking a multitude of bad dudes out in a few seconds.
God damn. I'm not even done but it's already one of all time favorites, and I'm not even a fan of Batman or comics in general, if I was I probably would have played this one much earlier. It took a damn $7.50 sale from Steam to get me on board. Looking forward to the sequel a lot now, hope they don't fuck with the formula too much.

Maybe it's just me. I really like the game, but it hurts immersion for me because I have to think about controls a lot because they aren't super-intuitive, in that they differ greatly from traditional keyboard bindings.
