Eventually, a playable demo reached us, which was generally well-received (apart from being a bit demanding on one's PC). At any rate, the game had everything: big-budget production, talented cast, in addition to promising gameplay and visuals. We approached it with a dose of caution though, seeing as Rocksteady has only one other game under its belt (Urban Chaos: Riot Response)."
