    Best game in my life. Thank you for 20 fps on GTX 760. BTW, Batman Arkham Nite sucks. My rewiew is too short, so Batman Arkham Nite sucks. Batman Arkham Nite sucks. Batman Arkham Nite sucks. Batman Arkham Nite sucks. Batman Arkham Nite sucks.

    As if we needed more proof to never preorder games. It's **** it's **** it's **** I went to my friends house to try it out and it wouldn't work at all. If you preordered it you have my apologies, but hopefully this will mean we never preorder anything ever again. 0/10 because it is a complete scam

    Absolute **** port. Rocksteady and WB basically tells us that PC gamers can suck a D.
    Game is capped at 30 fps, no ambient occlusion, you cant switch method of AA. Low res textures.
    No communication or appology from devs.

    This is intended not as a genuine review, but as a message to the developers. We, PC gamers, are sick and tired of your never ending console porting **** You, Rocksteady, have no excuse. You pushed the game's release back for about 4 months, and this is not your first game. Arkham City had the exact same issues. You didn't learn squat. And that is why we are all getting refunds.

    Console game that was released on PC and lacks all features aswell as being just entirely simplyfied for the lowest common denomitor. I wouldn't recommend this even if you got it for only 50cents, as it would still be a clear rip off.

Because of the constant lagging the batmobile is impossible to control. I paid for the DLCs in the last games separately and I paid for both games again to play it on PC thus I am truly heartbroken. I am sorry but the game ended at Arkham City, once the refund from steam clears I will never again purchase another product from Rocksteady or WB.

While the world is more expansive and detailed than City's, the story is a mess and the combat that was fun in the first two games has lost it's luster due to poor imitators and a lack of evolution. The game also uses every possible reason to shoehorn the Batmobile into the gameplay, instead of working it in organically. Overall, still a solid game, but it's marred by unacceptable performance issues.… Expand

This is getting ridiculous, and we need to vote with our wallets. Pulling a third of their sales should wake them up. Rocksteady decided to push the responsibility of the entire PC version to a third party. And that was a huge mistake. There is no way that any QA team played this game and thought it was fit for release. That means they intentionally took money from PC fans knowing full well they would be selling them an unplayable product. It's a shame...… Expand

    Gotta love that single digit framerate on a GTX 970. Don't get me wrong. This is a good game on consoles. But the PC version is literally unplayable on launch.

    This is not a finished product. After a few hours of gameplay I'm experiencing horrible stuttering and frame rate problems. THIS IS NOT OK, and what makes it worse is that I actually like the game but the performance makes it unplayable.

    This game is a shining example of cancer on PC gaming. Whoever came up with the idea of cutting down the graphic options, locking the FPS at 30 and letting this game out in its current state is a disgrace for game developers. The technical wreck that it is right now its just an insult to anyone who preordered it. At this stage- the game is a piece of garbage.

    How can they even call this a game? It is not.

    Right now, I would recommend it to buy on a sale when it's at most 2 $. Unfortunately, I didn't. Call me silly, but when paying 60 bucks I expect a game to run...

    This game is a travesty and insult to PC gamers. The graphics options menu is bare bone, might as well just have had "graphics on/off". Can't turn off annoying effects like chromatic aberation or console tier blur effects to hide crappy framerates. Also game is locked at 30fps. Yes you can change it in the ini file but that is inexcusable. Do not buy and if you did, get a refund on steam.

    What all the other reviews didn't tell you was that Rocksteady outsourced the PC version of this game to a highly skilled team of chimps from the local zoo. Poor textures, graphics and framerates are the order of the day...a complete stuttering mess on a Titan X at 1440p.

    But then Rocksteady and WB drop the bomb that this entire time, ever since Arkham City, they've been working on the real game Arkham Knight. No involvement by WB Montreal or Splash Games who ruined Origins. After delaying the game by more than 6 months its finally released and completely unplayable.

    Now my issues are not graphics related. Which is surprising since I only have a 2600K and a 670. All the prerendered stuff lags like crazy like it does for a lot of people, but I have zero lag or framerate issues during actual game play. What makes it unplayable for me is the stupid camera positioning. I've tried playing with the Camera Assist option both on and off and no matter what setting I use the camera keeps adjusting itself to default directly overhead.

    Gliding, walking, driving, all are borderline impossible because I can never see anything in front of me. Even standing still, talking to someone via the holo thing in my gauntlet, I'll put the camera behind me so I can see the person I'm talking to, and it will just swing itself back over the top of my head.    … Expand

    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.
