This used to regularly drop down to $7.99, then earlier this year came down to $3.99 a couple times. $1.99 is the lowest it's been and it has pretty decent metacritic user score (7.6) and the main story takes about 10 hours to finish. If you 100% the game its estimated at 17.5 hours.

And it's 22 gigs? Holy cow that's a big game for 2 bucks. It looks like Batman wearing Jim Gordans over coat. I'm very interested in this but haven't heard of it before now. Has anyone actually played it?

I have it on Switch. I'm a couple hours into it and I've enjoyed it. As long as you understand that you're going into an adventure game, and not an action game, I think you should find it quite good. It does seem buggy though. I'm not sure if that's a Switch limitation or if it's the actual game.

I've played, and enjoyed, almost all of the telltales games over the years, it kinda seems similar to, but much better graphics. As long as the bugs aren't game wreckers it should be fine. Just gotta find 22 gigs of space somewhere......

This game is janky on PS5 and PC. I can't imagine how badly it runs on the Switch.

It was originally a comic book series by the same name. I've never read the books, but I assume it sticks close to that, so a name change wouldn't have made sense.

Played it a few years back. I enjoyed it. It's not a fast-paced action game.

Correct, it wouldn't, my opinion reaches even further to the source then...

I picked this up for $4 during the previous Steam sale and enjoyed it. A majority of the PC-side jank is related to QTEs being tied to refresh rates which I presume wouldn't be an issue on consoles. Certainly worth the $2 if you're into adventure games.
