Endsights writes: "All said, this is an absolutely fantastic game. If it weren't for the excess use of detective mode needed and the small dip in quality towards the end, this would undoubtedly be getting a score of 10. Really, anyone even remotely interested in playing a Batman game should play this. And if you're a fan of the Dark Knight's comics even a little, there's not a single excuse good enough to not experience this game – it's exactly what a Batman game should be. I've played through the story, got three bats on nearly every challenge mode, solved every riddle in the game, and I still can't wait to dive back in on Hard mode. It has personally gained the top slot for my game of the year so far, and will surely earn it for many others".
