Standard MMO with rather questionable choices.

DCU plays 'okay'. You are 'free to play' up to a certain level, afterwards you are required to start buying DLC packs and content. It plays as a standard action RPG, using button presses to attack and all combat is real-time. The two cities of Gotham and Metropolis can be run through, or flown through, all you want, just make sure you be careful you don't run into high-level territory. The customization is pretty cool with all the various costume pieces you can use to put your own outfit together. Or just dress up like the Flash, it's your choice. That said, in 2017 there are quite a few 'odd' directions the game has gone. There is almost an overwhelming amount of 'shiny things' to waste your real money on, and not alot of 'engaging' content pass a certain point. Some power sets are severely lacking behind others, and PvP is hardly considered 'working' by anyone. I've enjoyed my time with the game, but at the rate it is going, I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a long run.
