While some players enjoyed the experience, the overall sentiment leans towards disappointment in its perceived lack of value.

The story is criticized for lacking stakes, revolving around Bruce Wayne's desire to experience superpowers through five simulations, which diminishes the narrative's impact and engagement.
“There are absolutely no stakes in this game: the plot is essentially 'Bruce Wayne wanted to know what it was like to have superpowers, so he programmed (or had Alfred program?) five simulations.'”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks any real depth, making it hard to care about the characters or their motivations.”
“The narrative is predictable and uninspired, failing to engage players or offer any meaningful twists.”
