Just finished the main campaign, now cleaning up the crime events in each district to get the platinum. Really enjoyed my time with it, the story was fantastic, it looks amazing, and even after 20-odd hours I'm still loving swinging around Manhatten. I've never once used fast travel, swinging just feels right. I'm a bit concerned that it may ruin exploration of other upcoming open worlds, making other games feel slow and boring moving from A to B.
Regarding the criticisms of the stealth sections, I feel like there were two types of stealth; the combat stealth (which I enjoyed and which felt VERY Arkham) and the story mission stealth, where you controlled MJ or Miles. The latter were awful, and hopefully don't appear in the inevitable sequel. But I hope Insomniac don't read the criticism as being against all stealth in the game, because again, I really enjoyed picking off henchmenn in the bases one-by-one using gadgets and perch takedowns.
Good to see Insomniac get rewarded with so much buzz online (and in the real world), and for me they managed to live up to the hype of that first trailer and then some.
