    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.

    No funciona, es injugable esta mierda, mientra que en consolas funciona sin problemas. No es justo que se rian asi de los usuarios.

    Resumuendo: No lo compréis, seria tirar el dinero en estos momentos, va de pena.

    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.

    I have over 200 hours each for Asylum and City, and I cannot express how much of a disappointment this game is.

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.

    If you are thinking of buying this game on PC, don't bother it's a waste of time and money.    … Expand

The game itself is easily the weakest of the Arkham Trilogy. 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

    And the controls... You need to drive through a whole city chasing cars (so batman like) shooting missiles. The missiles shoot with the button 3 so you need to take your finger of the D button. It's so enjoyable missing turns and being frustrated as **** because the story doesn't continue without these missions..

    TLDR: Game is absolute **** even without bugs and perfect performance: Don't buy!    … Expand

    A disgrace to pc games worldwide and a disgrace to the batman series.

    There is not way a video game on PC is released like this without repercussions, this, ladies and gentlemen is Assassin's Creed Unity in a Batman Universe, don't buy, dont even think about it, not worth your precious time.

    I generally hate the idea of giving games 0's or 10's, especially for reasons outside of the game itself. But I think the PC user rating should stand as it is, the consoles ratings and critic reviews can tell you how good the actual game is. The PC port should be refunded by all who can.

I was starting to think AAA broken releases was just a hot topic, and not as big of an issue as people make it out to be. I was wrong. 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. Don't buy this game on PC right now until it is patched. If you have one, pick this game up on consoles. it is a great game on consoles. And the only game I would say is better on consoles.

You can't adjust the speeds of camera look??? This is beyond lazy, this is plain stupidity. When gliding or the batmobile is on screen, the game stutters horribly or will freeze for 2-3 seconds often. That's what the worst thing about the game is, a slideshow instead of a fluid game.

    Literally, the worst trash I've ever seen get released to consumers.

    Rocksteady and WB don't care about PC users, they just wanted your money for a broken product, and realized that Steam refunds weren't letting them screw us over and keep our money so THEN they pulled it.

    This mess isn't worth many words. Overpriced, overhyped, dispensable. The reason behind all of this is simply the fact that this game is the WORST port I have ever played in over 10 years of gaming. After months of desperate patching, the game ended up with nothing but lies and dead promises.

    10/10 would pay $60 again. Once again we are shown why we shouldn't pre-order , and how little some companies care about their PC audience. I hope this gets a fix. I can imagine rocksteady just giving up on the pc and never selling this game again.

    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.
