I played it on Xbone back when it came out, story-wise it was pretty bland but I had a ton of fun with the game and really enjoyed the way they handled the combat.

It was decent. Agreed that the combat was probably the best part, kind of similar to the Arkham games.

This. The game is quite short for today's standards but that's the only game I liked on the xbone before I sold everything.

I'm not sure about the PC version, but I thought the XOne version was very bland. Nothing stood out in it. I think it was the game that Microsoft tried to 'show off' the Xbox One with but it really didn't grab my attention. The combat system and graphics are both OK but nothing great, and the story was terrible.

I was pretty pleasantly surprised by the X1 version. I got it for free with my Sunset Overdrive bundle, though. It's a very competent brawler; super pretty too. The only things I took issue with were how few enemy models they had; you're basically killing the same guy hundreds of times. If you can look past that though, it's a pretty good time. I'd probably play through it a few more times if it had a 2UP arcade style mode.

its a beautiful looking game. but a mostly forgetful experience. Very short too.

it served its purpose as a nice tech demo for the xbone as launch title. Aside from that its not really worth the purchase and still overpriced in my opinion.

the other thing that annoyed me about that game was the review embargo that was on it. Everyone knew it would be at 6's and 7's - yet they held the review back to the last possible second

For free though! Pretty great for free.
