There is a lot of complaints about too much batmobile and although I do agree there is a lot of missions that incorporate the Batmobile, I do not think it takes away from the awesomeness that has been the Arkham series. Combat is very fluid and I love how you can switch back and forth between a fellow crime fighter in mid-battle while executing combo/co-op moves. Really gives it that "I'm in a movie" feel. Maybe some of the side missions could have been a little more inventive but the main story was good and the Catwoman side quest was fun as well. I think all of the awful ratings are because of the horrible performance of the game upon release but most of those issue are resolved now. Got this game with all of the DLCs for $13 US bucks. My only complaint is that sometimes it is not clear where you need to go on missions and the riddler trophies are a bit obnoxious.… Expand

    It's sad to see the Arkham trilogy finished (well until all of the DLC is rolled out :p). There likely will never be a better Batman video game franchise....

There likely will never be a better Batman video game franchise.... Arkham Knight ends on a solid if not a little safe note. The many problems with the game though are easily redeemed by the deep character driven experience and top notch voice acting. I personally was happy when I heard Mark Hamill back as the Joker. Overall the game felt like an ending reunion for Batman fans who grew up during the 80's and 90's (especially for fans of the cult classic cartoon). The biggest complaint I have of the game is the use of the Batmobile. I rarely found myself using it (needing it outside of the story) and found the controls to be a little unintuitive. At the time of this review, the PC port is riddled with problems for many users. I never experienced many of the performance hardships. With my 980, I was able to max the game out in 4k at 30fps. Overall I give the game an 8/10.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A very solid game, as long as you have a very solid hardware setup to run the game.

    Ran this on a 27" late 2013 iMac with 4GB of VRAM and 8 GB of RAM on a Windows 10 partition. I will say that in general, I was getting just under 30fps while traveling around the city, but anytime I would stay in one location or do AR challenges it would get up to about 60fps.

    Love the decisions made to expand the game and combat. Huge map, and the addition of the medic makes combat much more challenging and interesting. Love the fear takedowns. Story itself is fairly good, but the real highlight is really just gameplay developments. The revelation of the identity of the Arkham Knight is pretty dumb and falls flat. The resolution with Joker venom/Joker and Scarecrow makes absolutely no sense. BUT there is fantastic voice acting throughout.

    Personally, I did not enjoy the tank-related challenges. I found it tedious and bizarre for a Batman game. The fact that the final confrontations with both Arkham Knight and Deathstroke are nearly identical tank-missions made me just stop worrying about getting 120% game completion all together. Lame.

    Considering I bought this during a Steam sale for $10 with all DLC, it was well worth it.    … Expand

It's just like all the other previous games with the one negative exception: the Batmobile. It's a big gripe than many people had and rightly so. It took a lot of practice to get it down but the control wasn't the main problem: it's the optimizing while driving. Yes, it's wonky but having to wrangle the damn vehicle after some screen tearing was a pain in the (_!_). Along with that big issue was driving through the incredibly poorly designed challenge tracks from the Riddler. Yikes. Talk about frustrating. Aside from the annoyance the game and story are so much fun and challenging. It's beautiful to look at and exciting. It certainly the weakest of the four but not by much. Perhaps wait for the GotY edition with all the additional DLC that is actual great.… Expand

    Arkham Knight proves it is the best title in the series by utilizing all the gameplay elements from the prior 'arkham' games while nicely weaving in the new bat-tank feature. This may prove divisive for you.... when i first saw the footage of tank gameplay I was initially conflicted with the idea but having actually played with it ultimately felt satisfied with the tank sections, as for me, this coupled with intelligent use of the detective mode segments (a-la origins) really keeps things feeling fresh.

    Story is fantastic and it really feels that by now Rocksteady have mastered the story telling language for this 'arkham' game world. With all the dlc, it really feels like you're finally getting to play the fully realized vision of a decent batman action adventure with some light rpg elements thrown in. The updated visuals and animations really help tell a stronger story with some exceptional stand out moments which stay with me longer long after playing!

    I read on launch the tech in this title was exceptionally bad... However, playing in 2018 the quality esp at higher than 1080p rez is very impressive for an unreal 3 engine game. Helps to have a decent gaming rig to play this on, however, even with latest patches/gpu drivers, I found there were moments where my fps would tank with no obvious on-screen visual benefit. Most of the time it would hold 1800p @ 50fps on my R9 390. Overall then this is a must have game IMO!    … Expand

    The stories about extremely poor performance and crashes on launch are unacceptable, and I cannot understand how a huge corporation like WB can make such a massive mistake. However, I can only comment on my experiences playing the game from its installation in March 2017. And from my own experiences, I can only say it is a polished port. I suspect I will get downvotes for that, however I can only give my opinion from the gameplay experience I've had.    … Expand

    The main problem of Batman: Arkham Knight this is the city. The impression is twofold: Yes, the city was needed, and the city is very beautiful but he is as useless and filled with absolutely dull and dreary third-party missions for the destruction of enemies. The worst thing is that to get this ending you need to beat the game 100%. It is not correct. Why the plot should depend on empty numbers?!

    The plot is fun to follow. And if the game cut absolutely unnecessary outdoor world, the game would only benefit from this. You can spend hours to perform the third party tasks, then return to the story and not remember what is there in the story happens. Don't waste your time - game is to pass solely for the sake of the plot. Although I do not deny that there are a few interesting side quests to investigate.

    It is a pity that the villains like two-face, Penguin, Riddler, I thought you are not interesting side quests. In the story they are not! This is a big minus. But as returned the Joker is just awesome - scenariste done, and in the end everything becomes more interesting.

    Separately, you can select a PC release that is just disgusting. Although I have almost had no problems and I successfully passed.

Boss battles were maybe too mild and not as challenging, ex. Firefly. I only needed to refer to a walkthrough once only because I was confused about a timed response needed in the game. This isn't so bad if you compare this to Arkham Origins, where I had to refer to forums and walkthroughs several times.

    Battle with the large flying sentries could have been more challenging or engaging. Graphics = 10, Gameplay = 10, Story = 8. Wish Batman's other allies were more involved in the story and had their quests in the game, would have extended the awesomeness of this long game. Ex. Catwoman was quite involved in the Arkham City. In Arkham Knight, very limited. Robin and Nightwing drop in for teamup battles but then disappear afterwards. Wish you could explore their missions. DLC: Each story was great, but way too short. They could have taken their time to make a long extension pack that adds more story after the end of Arkham Knight. Mad Hatter's puzzles are extremely annoying to solve, might be a keyboard + mouse issue. Just don't play Arkham Origins, adds nothing new to the Arkham City engine other than snow effects and a dead boring city.    … Expand

Rispetto ai predecessori (Asylum e City, che sono di Rocksteady e che fanno parte dello stesso filone narrativo) ha un sistema di movimento molto piú dinamico e veloce. Che sia volando o con la batmobile, ci si sposta molto velocemente da una parte all'altra. Ci sono tantissime missioni secondarie, come in City, e sono quasi tutte interessanti o almeno divertenti. Alcune peró, soprattutto le sfide dell'Enigmista, possono risultare un po' pallosette e a volte eccessivamente difficili. In generale il mondo di gioco sembra sempre vivo, ricco di opportunitá, ed é bello da viaggiare. Una cosa che il gioco non ti dice esplicitamente dall'inizio, ma che é quasi d'obbligo, é appunto fare (quasi) tutte le missioni secondarie. Solo in questo modo infatti si sbloccherá il finale completo. I combattimenti sono i soliti degli Arkham , mai troppo banali, molto ben fatti. La vera protagonista di Knight é la batmoblie peró, in quanto moltissime missioni andranno fatte in macchina. Guidarla , prendere sotto i vari teppistelli, spaventarli e distruggere armate di carriarmati comunque é sempre divertente e non annoia mai, anzi. Tecnicamente a livelli altissimi, anche su PC (ora gira bene, anche se rimane un gioco pesante) , curatissimo in ogni dettaglio come da tradizione di Rocksteady. Trama ben scritta, belle scene, prende abbastanza e svela un lato di Batman a cui non siamo stati abiutati con Asylum o City.
    Bello da vedere, bello da giocare, adesso gira anche bene, buona trama, longevo, forse alcune missioni secondarie "di troppo" e qualche piccola mancanza tipo il non poter giocare liberamente con Catwoman (really?? dopo tutta la fatica che si fa per liberarla non posso neanche usarla liberamente??!) nel complesso titolo validissimo.    … Expand

    "Hello, my name is Joker, and I hate Batman" - "Hello, Joker, we are too!" And now Gotham is blazing, the streets are captured by gangs, and Batman in the company of allies is scurrying back and forth, like an early superhero help, and extinguishes one "Fire" after another. After the first few hours in Batman: Arkham Knight, it becomes clear that this plot meltshenie will not end for the"Hello, my name is Joker, and I hate Batman" - "Hello, Joker, we are too!" And now Gotham is blazing, the streets are captured by gangs, and Batman in the company of allies is scurrying back and forth, like an early superhero help, and extinguishes one "Fire" after another. After the first few hours in Batman: Arkham Knight, it becomes clear that this plot meltshenie will not end for the hero anything good. Rocksteady is ready to put an end to the story and make Batman's last fight with the criminal world of Gotham truly memorable.
    This inner readiness to bid farewell to the character with which the developers spent six years is declared literally in every scene. You will first see a confused Batman, who understands that, choosing from two evils, he will still come to disaster. You will first see broken Batman, when grief fills the whole space of the game. You will first see a lying Batman, ready to go to treason to save Gotham. Perhaps you will first see a living Batman, and not a heroic doll, capable of doing only two things - pushing pretentious speeches and sending one villain after another behind bars. And the point here is not that the writers wanted to "revive" the hero. Quite the opposite: they are so focused on the "holiness" of the character, cut out of him a piece of live emotion after another, that at some point before us is a real monster. Sometimes I was just disgusted to look at this person, to hear what he was saying. I wanted to scream, "Wait, but it's not Batman, how's that!" But towards the end the puzzle was formed, the whole picture opened to me - and I was just sitting with a drooping jaw, amazed at how clever the writers had put together all the elements together, how masterfully they manipulated my feelings and emotions. But it was in the final, we again return to Gotham. Over the great city there is a danger. The mysterious Knight of Arkham in the company of Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-faced, Mysterious and other villains collects a huge army, before which the only task is to destroy all who dare to stand in their way and subdue Gotham and its inhabitants. The conflict came to a fundamentally new level: the streets of the city go tanks, the sky is controlled by drones. Around the roadblocks are broken, on the buildings are installed automatic turrets, opening fire on anyone who is in the radius of their action. Now your enemies are not the companies who drank gopnik, who picked up bits and knives somewhere, but trained soldiers, who prefer to act together. They keep in touch with each other, try to prevent catching "one by one". When the situation becomes critical, they simply go astray and comb one corner after another; "Burn out" Batman's hidden lazy; Spread on the ledges of charges, exploding in contact with a man, which limits the maneuverability of the hero; place turrets that respond to movement. The behavior that we have seen before, however, in the battles with serious opponents. Now this is the norm for most missions. At the same time, the acquaintances of the previous units "patsanchiki" have not disappeared anywhere - they are still wandering the streets in search of simpletons left in the city after the announced evacuation. But if you collide with them, then, as a rule, while driving a batmobile. Just go, knock them down, hit with an electric current or "neutralize" them from a cannon. They do not represent any threat - for example, urban garbage, which could not stand the competition with the well-trained army of Knight Arkham.

    The conflict came to a fundamentally new level: the streets of the city go tanks, the sky is controlled by drones. Around the roadblocks are broken, on the buildings are installed automatic turrets, opening fire on anyone who is in the radius of their action.

    Batmobile, perhaps, is the most controversial innovation of the game. And not because I have some complaints to him (on the contrary, I consider it ideal, even if he behaves on the road as a poorly managed trough). But the developers did not just write it into the structure of Arkham Knight as one of the options, and built around it a significant part of the game. Gotham patrols the units of drones, which are ruled by the people of Knight Arkham. Faced with them, you transfer the batmobile into combat mode (it turns into a kind of self-propelled combat vehicle) and eliminates the threat. In fact, the drones replaced the usual opponents, which we used to encounter on the streets of the city from time to time.    … Expand

    Aside from a few sputters during the animation when entering the Batmobile and the FPS cap at 30, I didn’t experience any of the problems many PC players were experiencing with the game. If any dark, rainy, dirty and downtrodden city could be beautiful, it’s Gotham in Arkham Knight.

    Played this game after all patches they released for this game, thats why I have no technical issues during playtrough.
    Story is great, graphics and atmosphere also. So many to do on the map, for at least 30h.
    One big issue for me is lack of Boss Fights (with all DL's) which is not acceptable in Batman game.

    Regardless of its performance on pc at its release date and evaluating the game itself. In my opinion, the best of the arkham saga. New gadgets, new outfit, the Batmobile is amazing, a good story and a Gotham full of secrets and collectibles. Recommended.

The game finally lets you play around with the BatMobile. The first few missions are good and then it quickly becomes a chore making the Batmobile boring and overused.

    Before I go on: I am very well aware that a lot of people are still having trouble with the game. Yes, it was one of the worst game launches in a long time, shouldn't have happened that way.However, I will not let that influence my rating, as the review and rating are based on the way the game works TODAY (for me), and the game itself. I didn't get the game until September or so, and it worked perfectly well almost immediately

    I do have an i7-4790, 16 gigs of Ram, a GTX 960 with 4 gigs of Ram, using the settings suggested by GForce experience.

    After the patches/fixes that have been released (today's the 7th of Nov), the game works absolutely fine for me, no reasons to complain. The performance is great, no frame rate issues at all.

    Gotham looks beautiful, and I love the atmosphere of the game. Basically, it's another No Man's Land type situation, which kinda makes sense because otherwise, you'd run over citizens by the hundreds in your batmobile.
    Which leads me to the biggest innovation of AK, the batmobile/battank.

    I admit it is fun to race around Gotham in that thing. Driving is nice, the thing is pretty tough, like a tank, so you can run into walls etc, destroy fences etc. In battle-mode, there are some nice tricks you can do, and the controls are totally different. It somehow reminds me of that DaVinci-tank in AC: Brotherhood... and I wonder whether the handling and "style" of the battle mode was inspired by this.

    Melee is fun as well, blocking works great, so do special combos. Eventually, you will need to use them to handle enemies with stun batons, shields, swords etc. It can be rough, but I never thought it was unfair. In some cases, like bank robberies, you should approach it tactically.

    The boss fights are fun as well. They can be rough, but again, not unfair. Yes, it took me quite some time to take out the Arkham Knight's imba vehicles, but boy, was it satisfying.

    Where the game absolutely SHINES is atmosphere and writing. I love the story. I am sure most of you know the big reveals in the game, but still, I'll try not to mention them. The state Batman is in, which kinda makes it harder for him, is extremely well done (with a certain villain talking to you a lot), and the end of that state is TOTALLY great.
    There are some very very cool throwbacks to "A Death In The Family", which, to me as a fan of the comics, was a very special treat.

    There are some very surprising twists in the story, not only the two big reveals I mentioned. Up until the very end, I felt entertained, and I thoroughly enjoyed the story and working my way through it...the boss fights were harrowing, but ultimately satisfying.

    Now, for the negative parts (IMO):
    - There is too much focus on using the mobile. Yes, I can understand they put a lot of work into the mobile, but it felt TOO much... fighting gazillions of drones, driving around, having to find ways of getting your batmobile into a certain area or building to use it to progress... it is ok, but I wish they had cut the amount of driving, drone fighting and "need to find a way to get the mobile in here" by about 30-40%. YMMV

    - The "after death teases". They are part of the series, sure, but they eventually got more than frustrating. They were tiring, especially with stuff like the Riddler challenges (races, riddles, etc.) which I didn't enjoy at all.

    - The ending of the game, IMO, ROCKED; but... I didn't like the fact you have to complete ALL of the side-stuff in order to see the ultimate ending (Knightfall protocol). I loved playing the main-storyline, but when I realized I still had to finish ALL the side stuff to see that final part, I didn't like it. It DOES make sense that you need to do all that, considering what Knightfall is, but... I LIKED the fact that I didn't HAVE to do all the side stuff. Some of them were fun, but I liked that I had the freedom to leave out some of them. However, if you want to see the final ending, you will have to.
    I wouldn't mind this, if not for the final, very frustrating Riddler challenge. I thought that some of his challenges (hint: glide and final race) were WAY harder than anything I had to do in the main-storyline. Add his very repetitve teasing and ridicule, it kinda sucks the fun out of stuff

    So, PROs:

    - GREAT storyline
    - Some killer twists and surprises in the story (even without the Arkham Knight stuff, which at some point became predictable)
    - Great atmosphere
    - Graphics
    - Sound/Music
    - Some of the Batmobile related stuff
    - New gadgets and moves
    - Appearance of some lesser known villains, sometimes in a surprising way
    - Duo fights...a ton of fun. they could have put in more of that, but thats a minor complaint

    Cons:
    - Too much batmobile (way too much)
    - Need to do every single side-quest to get the final ending
    - Riddler challenges..frustrating,not fun    … Expand

When Batman starts losing his mind at one point in the story the game does a lot of little fun things to mess with you. Nothing extreme like pretending the game is crashing like they did in a previous game, but stuff like billboards changing subtly after you look away. The combat is just as great as ever, with even more animations added. The batmobile has been a debated feature but I like it, it adds a lot to the game including new mechanics to be used in puzzles.

    I have an AMD R9 280 w/ 3 GB VRAM and an AMD FX 6100, OC to 4 GHz. I run the game on a standard HDD, not an SSD. I only have 8 GB RAM, and it's not anything fancy, like that new DDR4 stuff. Even with a bottleneck processor, I can run this game at a solid 30 fps at High Settings, and with those specs, that's not too bad... Not too bad at all.

    May it's because I wasn't expecting to be able to run the game at 60 fps anyways. I wasn't expecting to be able to run the game at all! I got ahold of it after all the terrible reviews, complaints, and cry-outs. I ignored this 1.7 (at the time of review) user score and the negative steam reviews, and let me tell you, it was worth it.

    If you have a system like mine and don't mind using key-sites (g2a, kinguin), go ahead and pick up a copy and see for yourself if it will run. I still get the occasional stutters and there are some animation bugs, but that's to be expected out of a relatively massive open Arkham City, which looks amazing, might I add.

    Oh, and the game is quite good, especially if you liked Arkham City. Much better than Origins. This rating of 10 is to tell some of you that there are working copies, and this is playable, even if it is a rarity.

I have no delusions about the fact that many people had problems playing this game however I find it odd that I, with a very mid-range PC, was able to play this with no problems AT ALL, on the medium-high graphical settings in 720p resolution. When I say I had not performance problems I really mean it. The two biggest issues I had with this game were as follows the fact that I saw Jason Todd as the Arkham Knight "plot twist" coming from 10 miles a way; it was obvious to any true Batman fan. Secondly the amount of time I had to wait to download this **** was LONG; hey developers not every gamer has amazing download speeds give us a break!

    I have bought the fixed version (re-released on 28 Oct). the game runs on GTX 970 smooth with most settings high, except for shadow and fog. I have been playing for one month without game crash, 60 fps V-sync On, except for batmobile, frame drops to 50 fps.
    The game is super, story and action, side missions are perfect.

Yeah, that's right. My PC rig runs this game smooth as silk, until I get my Bat Ass kicked to death, and the game quickly restarts the last checkpoint to wit I bitterly kick the crap out of the bad guys in heated revenge. This game is satisfying after each head kicking scrap. An I love driving my beautiful Batmobile. I don't feel forced to drive it, the balance of Flight or Drive feels very comfortable I just love my new Batmobile - I said that already, didn't I ? Now I have to be Holy Frank with those PC users that are having stability issues - maybe PC gaming is not for those who are refusing to upgrade, or they refuse to take their meds, or maybe these complaints are a Holy Red Herring thrown in by the same Holy Whiner-baby's that never stop complaining about the games they download from pirate websites. ooooh! Did I hit a nerve or two. For crying out loud! I went so far as to do the Holy Modified.ini file to "BmEngine" and "BmSystemSettings" Now my graphics are as lushes wet as cat-woman's lips, and the game still runs smooth, fast and stable until I am ready to pass-out. Well there is a matter of keyboard mapping I would like to see improved, I suppose I could grab a new keyboard with macro programing cause this button mashing is killing my fingers. What more can I say, if you have the right PC hardware configured correctly then this game will be far superior to the previous two Arkham games.

    The tank fights become a bit exhausting further in the game.

A capped 30fps for a pc port had alarm bells ringing straight off...

    I thought AC Unity was bad but in its current state many pc users will find this game unplayable given the poor optimisation and sloppy pc porting. I am partly to blame for preordering (the one time i do lol); certainly learnt the hard way not to do that.

    Now the positives:
    Ive played 25 h to complete the main campaign and the actual story, gameplay mechanics, open world are really good (the story in particular wraps up nicely and the game is very hard to stop playing because of the excellent story progression). This is probably my favourite arkham series episode of the trilogy because of the underlying satisfying substance of the game. Too bad and though i recommend the game I don't suggest you consider buying at present (you cant anyway) given its poor execution on pc...

    Be careful with the ratings since people love to hate even though the overall experience is not as broken as many would say (although it is obviously sub par).

The addition of the bat mobile is a very nice touch that further immerses you in the role of the dark knight, though it does feel forced on you at times. I've played around 7 hours and I've had zero issues with the game. Not one single issue. It runs a silky smooth 60fps with all settings maxed, including all the gameworks options. The plethora 1 point reviews are ridiculous and completely undeserved. I'm sure some people are experiences some performance issues, but i have no doubt they will be resolved with a patch, just like every other game that suffers from launch day issues. I gave the game a 9 simply because i had to manually edit the ini files to up the fps cap and turn off motion blur. These are options that should have been included in game and there are a lot of missing settings that pc gamers are accustomed to. My only other complaint is that the batmobile feels like the devs were too eager to justify its existence and as such, it feels forced at times. Overall though, AK is a fantastic game and a worthy successor to the other excellent games in this series.… Expand

    I can understand the perspective of thinking there's too much batmobile, but I think too much has been said of it, and nobody is really looking at it with an open mind. It's batman's new gadget, and the designers have treated it as such by playing it heavily into the game. It seems like people just wanted more combat/predator, but I for one played the hell out of origins (and I'm not afraid to admit that, as that game has some redeeming qualities that have been overlooked), and that game had so much combat/predator that this is a welcome addition. There's loads of combat/predator in this game, there's just loads of batmobile too.

    And yes the story is a little predictable, and yes the dialogue is a little melodramatic at times, but it's a batman game, no? I think compared to city the story is way more cohesive. City was just a mess of rougue gallery mash-up, albeit a fun one, but when I look back on it, it was certainly just a cheesy and predictable.

    Finally, as for the performance issues, I couldn't wait any longer to play this thing. I've got an nvidia card that's not all that great. I left the frame rate capped and the nvidia effects off, but everything else is turned up. Granted there are frame rate drops, but nothing that has hampered my playthrough. I'll play my new game+ when the patch comes out.

    My recommendation? Play this game for what it is. Enjoy it because Rocksteady has done an amazing job, and they aren't going to do another. It really is the ultimate batman sim, and they've refined every tool in their chest to make it that way. Get to know the batmobile, before you shut it down. It is seriously fun, and although it's a strange fit to what's already there, I think this studio's ambition is something you rarely get from a big studio with a lot of expectations on them these days. The things that don't work in this game, are better than other game's best qualities.    … Expand

    I had the Memorial Edition preordered about a month ago nad was very disapointed to read all these negative reviews. After I got my hands on the game, though, I am very pleased to have bought it. It's as much enjoyable as Arkham Asylum & Arkham City and not at all broken in my rig (i5 3570K, GTX780Ti, 8Gb). It's not perfect but it sure is more than OK!

    Horrible port which deserves many bad reviews; diamond in the rough awaiting underneath?

    After some tweaking of .ini files the game actually runs OK for me. I have a GTX 570 with Core i5 and I get 25-45 fps dipping down to 20 when I'm driving the bat-mobile. All this at 1920x1200. TBH, I expected much better given that this year's Shadow of Mordor runs at ~45 fps on my machine AND    Horrible port which deserves many bad reviews; diamond in the rough awaiting underneath?

    As for the gameplay: it's actually very fun, I really enjoy playing this game and would certainly rate it higher if the occasional 20fps st-t-t-t-t-utter didn't break the immersion.

    Hopefully a patch will address these issues!    … Expand

    Not sure why this is getting so much hate. 30 FPS lock can be disabled in the INI, and my GTX 960 runs the game with the settings as high as they'll go (and all gameworks effects on) no problem. I only have an i5 cpu to boot.

    Batman Arkham Knight is an action game produced by Rocksteady. This game is a continuation of Arkham City. The game is incredible, so far it is the best generation. The graphics are the best to date, in addition, the soundtrack is wonderful. I had no problem with bugs. The story is fantastic, and the gameplay. The Batmobile and the Dual Play are the best innovations of the game. TheBatman Arkham Knight is an action game produced by Rocksteady. This game is a continuation of Arkham City.

The Batmobile is great, the best vehicle of a game today, the struggles continue wonderful with many innovations, so with stealth. The story is great, you'll surely fall in love with her. The side quests are even better than those in Arkham city. The Riddler is very challenging, a great thing is that even if you finished the story, still have many hours to do the side quests and pick up collectibles. Batman Arkham Knight is the best game of the year so far, it sets the new generation, and finished Arkham franchise masterfully. 10 of 10… Expand

    A very fun game no dout. As for the 30 fps thing its easy to uncap it, its the equivalent of someone crying because dinner is on the table and they dont want to walk to it.

    I'm workin with a middle of the line graphics card and CPU and so far the game hasn't taken a graphical dump so hard that it took away from beating the living snot out of like, 20 dudes with the help of the bat tank.

    Great experience so far, the game suffers maybe from some "consolitis" but nothing that can't be fixed in an upcoming patch, or manually modded yourself.

    This game is bad ♥♥♥. Make sure if you are an Nvidia user, you update your drivers to the most current which was 06/22/15. I'm not experiencing any framerate problems like most people are. I'm not quite sure why I'm not, but I'm glad I can play without any issues. I'm only 45 minutes into this game and it's awesome. Definitely worth the money if you have the system requirements.

    The end of the trilogy. The story reach the highest point of all the saga and the gameplay improve some things. The optional missions are good and interesting. The car is overused and it's not that fun, but the game make us use it for half game and at the end you can't stand that thing anymore.

    Zamanında pc'ye çıkarken çok kötü portlanmıştı. Puanlarının bu kadar düşük olması bundan. Şimdi oynaması çok eğlenceli ve bat-mobil ile ilk iki oyundan sıyrılıyor.

    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.
