In this sample, players often praise the fast, mobile combat and the freedom to chain attacks and abilities, along with the striking, reality-warped environments and the pleasure of exploring Manhattan. Story, characters, lore, atmosphere, and music are also recurring sources of enjoyment. Some reviewers instead found combat repetitive or navigation confusing, so these positive impressions are not shared by everyone in the sample.
