    Campaign didn't interest me in the slightest. However, the most artistically stunning Batman game to date. Open world gameplay is still perfectly satisfying.

    The problem with arkham knight is that it relied too much on its batmobile combat and everything around it. Still the joker in batmans brain was kind of interesting premise but main villain wasnt that much.

    Шедевр! Любители комиксов и хороших игр будут в восторге. Достаточно большая и проработаная карта, восхитительный сюжет, интересные дополнительные миссии. Атмосфера шикарная. Короче говоря всем к прохождению!

    Another awesome game from the Arkham series and now with batmobile. Another awesome story and well-used villains.

    But everything was f*ucked up with that horrible pc port which made the game almost unplayable.

    Arkham Knight is the excellent closing of Rocksteady's Batman saga.

    *HISTORY*: Nine months after the events of Arkham City, on Halloween night, the Scarecrow threatens the city with its new strain of fear toxin, forcing to evacuate the city's six million civilians. Only criminals remain in the city. Arkham Knight presents a very interesting script and a large cast of characters.    Arkham Knight is the excellent closing of Rocksteady's Batman saga.

    However, some of them feel quite wasted.

    *PLAYABILITY*: Arkham Knight presents the best gameplay of the saga, but the repetitiveness of the Batmovil and some failures of the combat with the environment subtract points.

    *GRAPHICS*: Arkham Knight, still in 2019, is still a beast graphically. The artistic design is superb.

    *SOUND*: An exquisite soundtrack, convincing sound effects and excellent dubbing.

    *INNOVATION*: Arkham Knight brings quite a few new things, but it's not the revolution that Arkham City was in its day.    … Expand

    Batman: Arkham Knight é um dos melhores jogos de heróis já feitos.

    A historia é magnifica do inicio ao fim; a gameplay é viciante e se você prestar um pouco de atenção nos gadgets do Batman, tudo fica mais interessante; Os gráficos são lindos e a otimização é boa, longe do desastre do seu lançamento.

    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.

    Batman: Arkham Knight still stands on its ground graphically even after a few years; unfortunately, it is just a horrible unorganized mess when it comes to the controls.

    Noticeable slowdown like 6 hours in when in the blimp... so I tweaked the settings and it ran smooth again. Seems like it's V-Sync stuff. Anyway, game is great, even if I understand the hate that Batman drives a tank and he can literally fly around the city faster than driving. It adds gameplay variety and the game was engaging from start to finish for me.

    Old review: I'm terribly sorry to give this game a 0, but this pc port is a terrible, terrible thing that makes the game unplayable.

    GTX 970, i5 4670k: 5 hard crashes in 2 hours, FPS caped at 30... terrible. As a consumer, I simply can't accept this sort of thing.

    Edit: Played it in 2017, many of the original bugs have been fixed, yet others remain. A much better experience nontheless.

    The game is epic and immersive, and of course you only get this for the fantastic graphic detail of it. Visually is impressive, and once more, like in previous games of the saga, the characters are extremely well designed and detailed graphically and with fantastic voice acting.

    Fully recommend it, as the previous ones. Its one of the big games of the past years to "must have" to any Steam collection.    … Expand

    The game seems to be great and amazing... if it were not poorly ported to PC. It has technical issues that makes batmobile races unplayable, and found myself with a game breaking bug trying to follow Two faces missions. I could only see the bad ending, and without catching Two faces I can't see the true ending. I'm not going to waste another 60 hours playing a game that result I can't finish.

    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.

    "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

    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
