The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
The series is strictly single-player, so joint engagement depends entirely on couch co-piloting where one person spots gargoyle perches and hidden vents while the other holds the controller.
Skills this builds
- Passing the controller between predator stealth rooms and open-city traversal
- Spotting structural weaknesses and hidden paths during Detective Mode scans
- Collaborating on multi-step Riddler puzzle solutions and map routes
Try this together
When entering an armed predator room, pause at the first vantage point and plan your sequence of silent takedowns together before dropping down.
