In a bad-vibes moment, they're denying a huge outlet like IGN a review code. No matter what I think of IGN in particular (nothing good tbh), that's not something I can find a real explanation for other than "We made DC's Gollum and want to avoid bad press as long as we can".

Guess they are trying to get every sale possible as this likely won't do well. A shame really. Really enjoyed the Arkham series.

I'm guessing it'll be in the 40s range on Metacritic once all said and done.

It's Rocksteady, so it'll be higher than 40s. Heck, it's almost impossible to get a score lower than 40 on metacritic...

Mid 60s I'm guessing, perhaps as high as 69 if reviewers are feeling generous. The kind of score which would be absolutely fine if it were a cheap and cheerful B-game made by a scrappy team of underfunded devs, but which is an absolute embarrassment when applied to a multi million dollar tentpole. The kind of score that implies 'meh'.

Could be right... though it went from me wanting to get this around launch day to... let's hope it's on GamePass. My backlog of games also helps me to wait on this one.
