    What could of been a good game is turned into in absolute mess with forcing you to use the batmobile for such a large percentage of the game. Unfortunately this overuse of the batmobile turns a good game into a bad one. Arkham Knight really shines when on foot but in the batmobile it really suffers.

    My two cents on the game has nothing to do with the performance issues some people are having, as that has been made abundantly clear by many of the reviewers.

    It's unfortunate that they have not been able to play the game (or maybe just refuse to play out of protest) so that they could give a fair review on the game itself instead of using metacritic as an outlet to air frustrations about the way it performs.

    That being said, I was fortunate enough not to have game breaking glitches and crashes, and found out how to unlock the 30 FPS lock through the .ini file (quite simple to do and takes a whole 2 minutes to accomplish) so I was able to play the game to (near) completion.

    I have to hand it to the story writers of the game, as writing the story for this game was clearly a labor of love, and they had to have some talented people working for them that really have respect for the batman universe, and I personally have no objections with the way they've wrapped up this series (as far as the story is concerned...more below!).

    On the other hand though, the mechanisms they used to deliver this story (gameplay) was something that I have serious problems with. This title is loaded with anti-climactic non-engagements with many of the main villains, and has absolutely ZERO boss fights.

    Some will argue that the vehicle battles with the Arkham Knight leading up to the final encounter with him would count as a boss fight, or that the final vehicle battle with Deathstroke is a boss fight (which is exactly the same tank battle as the one with the Arkham Knight). Those people would be missing the point entirely. There is absolutely no direct engagement with any of Batman's rivals WHAT. SO. EVER. Not in any way that should be considered a "boss fight" anyway.

    It's almost kind of cruel that the game is designed for you to go through the "Most Wanted" quest lines, which are basically side quests that have the player going after the various major villains that are central to the Batman stories, and once the player completes the quest line, they might be rewarded with a pseudo-boss fight (as with Deathstroke), or get to make a "life-or-death" decision (as with the Azrael quest line), but no actual fight or battle takes place that presents the player with anything that resembles a challenge.

    Having a great story is a very important part of a great game, but robbing your customers and fans of any sort of finality or closure by not giving them any engagement whatsoever with any villain in the game other than vehicle fights and skirmishes with henchmen is, at least in my mind, extremely lazy and unforgivable.

    The script for this game would have been better off being sold off to an animation studio for another animated Batman movie because that's essentially what Rocksteady gave us with this title...an interactive animated movie.

    It's unfortunate because up to this point, I really enjoyed the blending of a great story with an action packed games through the Arkham titles, with boss battles that while not the most difficult in the world, presented some challenge and kept me engaged with the story that was being conveyed. The formula for Arkham Knight just fell way too short for me.

    I would strongly recommend waiting to find this game in the bargain bin, or on one of the crazy awesome sales on Steam. Definitely do yourselves a favor and don't make the same mistake I did by paying full price for this "game."    … Expand

    I remember the Christmas that my son wanted a Furby, don’t judge he was 6 years old. In fact, I was against it, spouting the fathers prejudiced “it’s a girl’s toy!”. He saw the adverts and his face lit up begging us, I mean Santa, for a Furby.

He saw the adverts and his face lit up begging us, I mean Santa, for a Furby.
    That Christmas I bowed to the wife’s pressure and we got one. He loved it and enjoyed playing with it, and now I know I was wrong. He spoke to it, played with it, and they sang songs together. That was until a month later when the batteries where low. In a scene that reminded me of the invasion of the body snatchers, it opened its eyes and screeched until it slowly died. I was scared and it was only missing a hand to raise its finger and point. My 6-year-old son screamed in terror and threw it away.

    Batman: Arkham Knight reminds me of that moment.

    I heard all the reviews all the spouting about it being a bad port but still wanted to play it. I knew the fears but still thought that I might be able to fix any technical issues, I am fair well versed so was quietly confident.
    From the beginning, I had every issue under the sun, flickering, low frame rates, mouse problems, high memory issues, and even having to sit through the introduction screen every minute as I reloaded. I tried every fix the internet gave me but nothing worked fully.
    The background flickered enough to give a blind man a seizure.
    Batman looked like a porcupine on steroids.
    And even closing the game brought issues over into my os.

    But I managed to play a little and in those small moments when the game managed to hold it together long enough. Oh what joy, speaking as batman, descending into the city and rough play with the locals as we sang and danced together. Such delightful memories!
    Fantastic levels of intuitive gameplay, the batman fighting system is so great it hard to put into words as you remember the glories of its lineages. It’s not a bad port, however, it does suffer from extremely bad coding issues, with no sign of being fixed anytime soon.
    Even still gameplay got so bad I couldn’t see the NPCs and it felt like fighting in the dark… And I cried and screamed like a frightened 6-year-old boy… I threw it all in and uninstalled it in a stroppy temper.

    The moral of the story, Rocksteady Studios is the fathers prejudiced. Blindly trying to develop the most visually stunning game that is currently possible without though of any value. Sure the graphics are fantastic but at the cost of bad coding and ostracising lower end pcs. Forgetting for a moment about the serious coding issues, this puts the whole common ethos of modern developers and clearly marks it as WRONG. It’s called PC gaming not PC benchmark testing, and sometimes in over-exuberance, they forget this and create the monstrous “Arkham Knight” effect. A game designed to look great without any thought if gamers can actually play it.

    Sadly the only thing that remains is to take out the batteries and leave it to go dusty in the attic. Rocksteady is working to fix this and it must have been a huge issue to take this long. But only time will if this will a horror movie … imagine Furby 2: The Revenge. I shudder to think.    … Expand

    Contrast Issues - Possibly the worst part of combat in AK is the total lack of contrast. Enemies, props, the environment, 2D effects, all blend in to the background because everything is the same color. The predominate colors are black, gray, red, and green. Only riddler objects are green. Everything else is some shade of gray-red. This causes a significant eye strain on the player due toContrast Issues - Possibly the worst part of combat in AK is the total lack of contrast. Enemies, props, the environment, 2D effects, all blend in to the background because everything is the same color. The predominate colors are black, gray, red, and green. Only riddler objects are green. Everything else is some shade of gray-red. This causes a significant eye strain on the player due to the fact everything is hard to see in your periphery. Very often I am hit simply because I did not see the enemy in time. Red Counter enemies can be hard to identify, because their prompt is red like everything else. This lack of contrast makes for a very frustrating experience.

    Red Unavoidable - There are certain enemies that have undefendable “red prompts” during combat. In Arkham City this was limited to a selection of enemies. I did not like the red prompts in Arkham City that much since it was a little difficult to remember how to counter them, at first. Eventually, I could remember. In AK there are too many red prompts, so I can not keep track of how to counter what.

    The Good - Dual Team Combat, new Big Guys (electrical is my favorite), playing as Nightwing and Catwoman. Oh wait, I played as those guys in Arkham City. Not much has improved on Batman’s combat.

    Preadator difficulty - The difficulty in predator missions has been massively nerfed. Instead of a scenario in which Batman must think how to achieve the goal, you simply attack the guards one by one in any order. You can use the numerous floor grates the Gotham City Council put in everywhere for no apparent reason. Or you can use the many perches, vents, tight rope wires, etc. Most predator maps have roughly the same number of safety zones like perches and vents, so there is not much variety.

    Alarm Collars - Every predator mission feels the same to me, the challenge barely changes. The neck collars worn by inmates in Arkham City no longer exist, there is nothing replacing or improving that mechanic. Players can kill enemies in any order without fear of getting caught often, since guards have idea who is dead until they walk near them. If guards walk near them it is very easy to attack them as well. Most of my predator missions ended with a solitary pile of guard bodies.

    Silent Takedowns - The radius for takedowning enemies has been increased, thereby decreasing the difficulty too much. There is little risk in performing a silent takedown.

    Fear Takedowns - Fear takedowns were enjoyable at first, because it looked cool and played in to the dominating aspect of Batman. However, as the game went on I realized they became a crutch for players.

    Environmental Takedowns - In Arkham City environmental takedowns stunned enemies, forcing the player to swoop in and kill or merely use it as a distraction. In AK they kill on contact.

    Driving - Driving the Batmobile in AK seems like the coolest feature ever. Hooray, the BATMOBILE!! Instead, it becomes an unnecessary device in Batman’s arsenal. The Batmobile can drive through anything, and I mean anything. Mailboxes, traffic lights, freeway supports, sides of buildings, churches, etc. Few objects in AK stop the player from driving the Batmobile. Batman AK is no GTA, Gran Turismo, or Mario Kart, I get that, it is not a driving game. But that’s exactly the problem. Driving is too easy in AK, there is no challenge to it. The car makes things too easy in some cases, such as killing riddler spies, and allowing the player to run down APCs. There are even a number potential predator missions that are finished completely by a few hits of the Batmobile’s Bathowitzer. Driving the Batmobile DOES NOT fit within the fantasy of Batman.

    Tank mode - Driving the Battank is by far, the worst experience in a Batman game. It is the most repetitive and least interesting part of Batman AK. All you do is slide away from enemy fire, then shoot. Slide, then shoot. Slide, then shoot. It gets repetitive fast, and lacks any depth. There are special weapons like the EMP blast or missile barrage, but they grow old quick since they require very little skill. After enough tanking those special weapons are only used because it means the tank battle will be over soon. Battank battles do not fit within the fantasy of Batman.

    The final boss battle in Batman Arkham Knight was just a repeat of the previous Cloudburst tank battle. Except this time it was easier. Woooo.

    That’s it, one boss battle and it is a copy and paste of a previous encounter. Very big letdown to have no bosses in a game like this. I think riddler has a boss battle, but I won’t be playing long enough to encounter it.

    Batman: AK could have been an epic conclusion to the Arkham series. Instead, the features they decided to add to the game detracted from the original game. Batman is someone who sneaks around and out-thinks his prey, getting into hand-to-hand combat when necessary (and kicking ass when he does). Batman does not do most of his work    … Expand

    I got into the game, I was fully aware of the fact that it was capped at 30fps. I wanted to play it just as is first before messing with the ini file. Naturally turned up everything to the highest settings and the result was extremely poor performance, frame drops and tons of stuttering. It is not playable. I then turned down the settings which does not help it much. The astonishing thing is that even with settings turned up high the game graphically does not look good. When I went around searching for the issues on the internet, there are clear images showing the astonishing amount of detail on the PS4 version of the game and the surprising lack of texture detail on the PC version. Stuff like shadows, rain physics are extremely poor on the PC on the PC version.

    I proceeded to fiddle around in the ini file to set the framerate to 60fps/120fps to see if it would help anything. Nope still broken. The game is an unoptimized mess and until it is patched unplayable.    … Expand

    Wow this game is bad. And I don't mean the bugs. The gameplay is horrible, the controls are sketchy at best with a lot of stuff not bound to any gets by default. The physics of the game suck, hit a car with the batmobile and it goes flying off. The batmobile controls suck. The game in general sucks: there's not much hints or help, you're left on your own to figure most of it out (*coughWow this game is bad. And I don't mean the bugs.

    Playing as Batman? Awesome. Playing as Batman through repetitive, empty missions? Less awesome. Playing as the Batmobile? Awful.

    Porting issues aside, Batman: Arkham Knight is a decent enough game. It's not the spectacular swansong we hoped for from Rocksteady, but it's another solid - if predictable - slice of Arkham gameplay, with a couple of great sections along the way.

    An entertaining superhero power fantasy, let down by awful Batmobile combat, a laughable villain, and serious performance issues.
