All I know about this game is that it made some chuds very mad because of "woke". Which makes the game already worth playing in my book. Is it any good beyond that and why exactly are chuds crying woke about the game?

    It's just a legitimately shit game. The story is a dumpster fire after a certain point and the live service model is bad. Better pirate the Arkham games and play them instead.

        I think it's alright. It's certainly 100% derivative of Arkham city, and the story isn't that compelling, but it's a fun enough game.

        As someone who has never cared about Batman or any other superhero but enjoyed all the Arkham games, I think it's worth it for the Gotham-at-Christmas atmosphere. I often replay it around Christmastime

          Sounds like the Batman equivalent of the Miles Morales game. I can see the appeal in a game with winter holiday vibes (both good and eerie vibes) at the right time.

      Better pirate the Arkham games and play them instead.

      Or just pirate and play Sekiro, which was the best Arham game in every way, since you stab people instead of punching them one hundred times each and there's more enemy variety than just "guy" and "slightly larger guy," but the core gameplay loop remains the same.
