The rain outside sounded like LEGO bricks tapping against the roof as I landed a perfect glide across Gotham. For a moment the city felt smaller, conspiratorial—like someone had hidden a map under the carpet. I caught myself smiling at the moment Batman becomes a puzzle you can still laugh at.
I’ve played through the main beats and chased almost every shiny collectible so you don’t have to guess what’s ahead. You and I will move through the chapters, spot where the big collectibles live, and measure how long the story actually takes on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, or Switch. I’ll point out when TT Games borrows Rocksteady’s combat cues and where Twitch drops and WayneTech chests pay off.

The main story is a ticking fuse beneath the city, and the side content is the spark you light if you want the full show. Gotham plays like a jigsaw; every collectible is another piece that makes the picture clearer.
If you sprint only through main missions expect roughly 10–12 hours of gameplay. If you chase every Red Brick, Trophy Piece, WayneTech chest, and the Twitch freebies, the run stretches into double digits—and rewards you with more abilities, custom Batmobile cosmetics, and a fuller sense of the city.
I’ve laid out the chapters so you can choose: speed through the plot, or methodically comb the map with a checklist. Which route will you take — the fast patrol or the full detective sweep?
