This game isn’t particularly good or bad. At first, I thought it was a PS2 game, but it turns out to be a PS3 title. The decision to adapt several comic books and integrate them into the cutscenes makes the overall storyline engaging. However, the gameplay gets too monotonous, especially when it comes to the combat system.

not a great game, not a bad game overall its fine for a single playthrough pros combat system- it is simple but challenging (pro/con , read below for context) the character upgrade system feels rewarding the voice acting - it is dynamic and contrast between night owl and rorschach is very well executed the visuals are nice and with max resolution it still holds up the animated cut scenes are amazing and really refreshing the cons the combat system - while being simple it has no evolution it feels stale and repetitve after a certain point the writing - the lines given to the enemies and the lines said by the dynamic duo are not very creative or well written and get repetititve very quickly the thugs/gang members- they dont really have any personality and they just keep on coming and coming leading to my next point. streched out chapter gametime- a lot of fights feel pointless and according to me feel as stalling , i would have appreciated more puzzles locks etc and 2-3 big challenging fights controller compatibility - you have to disable steam input for the game to recognise , perhaps this is old architecture but this spun me for the first 10 mins, dont know who to blame for that my modern system or the code now onto things that was not good or bad the story 6/10 - it was very linear with no real breaking of the mold chapter 6 had some breakage but it was not enough to bump it beyond a 6 its an expected story done in an expected way you wont be shocked but you also wont be amazed overall it has pieces of a great game alongside some elements which drag it down its a game with a linear story which plays out how its expected to pretty ok for a one time play cannot comment on the replayability for a movie promo movie its not bad i am now looking forward to my viewing of the movie which is quite polarising from what ive seen online to sum it up linear story with a fun but repetitive combat system paired with animated cutscenes which make this a decent one time experience if you want to expand your dc game collection or as a fan of the watchmen movie / comic its not a bad buy

Rorschach's journal, June 13, 2026: Finished tie in game based on Dan and me. Expected the slime of corrupt corporation, that is exactly what happened. Comic cutscenes. Easy on eyes, reminds of Black Freighter stories. Manhattan misquoted as saying he would intervene with plane crash, plane crashed anyway. Laurie not pleased. Underboss fight recreated faithfully, boring slog that went on longer than needed, reason for not appearing in movie. Recommend game, get to give scum what is deserved.

while this series deserved better than it got, i remember reading the whole 12 part series when i was a youngin' in the late 80s early 90s because my dad was a huge comic book collector, part of why i gre up loving dark and gritty dystopian/cyberpunkISH material, this game, once i found the Watchmen controller template in steam settings, it became managable with my xbox controller and im having a blast, yeah it could be better but im enjoying it so far
