    @Pape Badiane, So, is this now still a beat 'em up? Can we change its category so simply? It has been ranked by 125 people after all. Don't want to mess up the database.

      Editing … Of course it's a beat'em up! What do you want to change its category into?

      Editing … The fact that 125 people have ranked makes changing the genre problematic. But if the rest of the game is like the bit I played, there are no swords or sharp weapons and Batman fights with his fists, so it would make more sense as a beat 'em up imo. I know HnS are also characterized by individual levels that the game gives you scores for based on how fast you beat it, combo, amount of damage you took, etc. Is the scoring aspect also common in Beat 'em ups? If not, that would be another argument for Batman being a Beat 'em up.

      Editing … The old beat-em ups had a scoring system yeah, God Hand also has its own kind. The lines between some of these genres do blur a bit, the Arkham games do play with a similar pace to something like God of War and have similar mechanics (on top of adventure stuff), but Batman punches and knocks people out which is beat-em up style.

      Editing … For me the Arkham games are action adventure first , stealth second, in Asylum's case metroidvania third and in City/Origins case sandbox games third. I guess they're beat em up's too though. Technically City becomes a hack and slash for the last boss fight but that's not enough to put it in that category.
