As someone who had been enjoying giving enemies massive head trauma in Gotham, this coop review HAS NO LIES. There is fun in here somewhere, and it is more enjoyable looking for it with a friend.

As much as I've enjoyed your comedy "reviews" in the past, I have to say, this style which is closer to a genuine review where you guys, specially Matt, are giving your honest thoughts about the game and talking about your experiences playing it....I really enjoyed this as well. Maybe you could do this more frequently as it takes lesser effort like you said? And do proper "Girlfriend Review" episodes for Games you really want to. That way you can up the frequency of uploads and content. Just my 2 cents. Will be here whatever you guys decide. :)

They seem to assume that everyone wants to play online and doesn't want couch co-op. Nerf the graphics a bit if needed (not the animations just the number of polygons per character + some particle effects), take away the untethered co-op and make people have to stay more together perhaps but get co-op to run in split screen. I have seen at least one person (usually more) on any game that isn't same screen co-op ask for split screen but many developers seem to ignore this = epic fail for me.

Shelby looks good as always but let’s just appreciate how handsome Matt looks like as Barnacle Boy. They’re so cute together.

Jesus, Matt. The shade being thrown in this episode LMAO

The flying cars is a symptom of how the game decides to load the assets from the host. So instead of the guest loading their own assets and sending that information to the host, it says "Hey, you got any cars you ain't using?" And the host is like "YEP, CATCH!" and yeets them across Gotham so that you can crash into them with the .04sec of reaction time it gives you to dodge.

Shelby yelling "Bya, Batsie!" at the end was perfection

I don't know. I love my time in Gotham, be it solo or coop when I'm in the mood. The story is really engaging and heartfelt at points. I like the segmentation of everything, be it cases or the patrols where you reap the chance to disrupt crimes from info you gathered the night before and while the combat can feel basic, on normal difficulty different elemental loadouts can make it fun. I am one of the lucky ones it seems, because the game runs smoothly on my PC and I also play with controller so the controls work perfectly for me. I've encountered 2 bugs, one where downed enemies may jerk on the floor, which is rare and another where Clayface hit me below the map once so I had to restart from checkpoint.
