Has anyone played this? I haven't heard much about it.

The story is amazing and the voice acting etc is great. The combat gets pretty repetitive especially toward the end and the enemies are total bullet sponges, so I highly recommend playing on normal difficulty but just turning down enemy health (or turning up your damage I can’t remember which it is but same difference). Made the game so much more fun for me. Beaten it I think 3 times now because I love the story and the game isn’t too long, maybe 15-20 hours?

I remember a lot of people saying it was very good, and being surprised by that fact since it got very little promotion.

Story's good but I found the gameplay lackluster: platforming wasn't particularly exceptional and the combats felt too repetitive and absurdly hard near the end.

Same experience. I found leaving difficulty on normal but turning down enemy health (or turning up your damage I can’t remember which) made a huge difference. I beat the game a couple of times like that. Before I found out about that option I had given up my first playthrough toward the end because of the combat and spongy enemies.

I've heard a lot of praise for the story. I'm eager to check it out now that it's free.

I've played it and it was great! Maybe my favorite superhero game. Single player only, highly recommend a download!
