    Arkham Knight is the sweet spot between the ‘all cowl and no codpiece’ rigmarole of Arkham City and the tight claustrophobic construction of Arkham Asylum. It’s not as solid as the latter but it manages to have more variety and more focus than the former. It’s a beautiful game as well, ditching some of the swollen stylised body types of its predecessors and finding a more cohesive neon-gothic, blimps and all.

Locked to 30FPS, but runs at around 15. Anyone giving this a positive score either hasn't played it, is outright lying, or has mistakenly left a review on the PC version Metacritic page when they in fact played it on console.

    The laziest port I've seen of a game in a long, long time. It takes some going to outdo Assassin's Creed: Unity in the "did you even playtest this thing before release?" stakes, but Arkham Knight comfortably achieves that and more.

    It is so unplayable that I can't actually review the game itself, as I can't get beyond 20 minutes of it before the constant frame rate stuttering gives you eye ache. It's a game that relies on fast paced fluid combat and hectic car driving sequences; both of which are an absolute nightmare at this frame rate.

    Utter garbage.    … Full Review »
