protagonist appeal

Protagonist appeal is strongly supported by coverage describing the game as a love letter to Batman and his wider media legacy.

Hazel is one of the game’s clearest strengths, regularly praised as likable, charming, and easy to follow.

Gustave is explicitly described as wonderfully likable, pointing to a strong lead-character hook.

Hugh and especially Diana are consistently praised as likable leads who carry the experience.

Edward Kenway remains central, with new material focused on his internal struggles and personal story rather than replacing the original protagonist.

Patrick Gibson’s younger Bond is repeatedly framed as charming, witty, reckless, dynamic, and compelling enough to make several previews more interested in playing.

Reviewers generally find Arjun compelling, layered, and well performed, though one review frames him as a flawed and unpleasant figure. The appeal is strongest when tied to Rahul Kohli’s performance and Arjun’s personal drive.

Brianna Young and Lashana Lynch are the clearest points of protagonist appeal. Previews describe Young stepping up, Lynch as recognizable or marketed as the lead, and one video calls her compelling.

Protagonist appeal is limited by avatar customization complaints, though the game does give the player more voice, pronoun options, and a superstar identity.

Noah divides reviewers. Some found him likeable, but multiple reviews say he lacks a clear personality, objective, or interesting emotional presence.

Protagonist appeal is mixed-low because Kliff is often described as blank, muted, or not especially compelling.

Khazan’s setup is strong, but some reviewers still find him flat or emotionally distant as a lead.
