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.

    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.
