Part 6/8:
The criticism was not merely about the initial story or character choices. It extended to the fundamental gameplay design, combat systems, and live service mechanics. The game was supposed to feature multiple seasons, frequent updates, and ongoing content—much like the successful models seen elsewhere. However, the overwhelming negative reception indicated that the entire approach was deeply flawed.
All these factors culminated in what can only be described as a catastrophic failure—both creatively and commercially. Industry insiders and fans alike are left questioning what Rocksteady will do next. The damage inflicted goes beyond just losing player interest; it also tarnishes the studio’s reputation, which was built on years of crafting beloved superhero experiences.
