    Best looking game of the series. Despite being released in 2015, the graphics still don't look bad, but graphics alone don't make a game good. Gameplay and story were worse in some ways compared to other games. This is one of the most common negative opinions about the game. Optimization is not very good.

    I think its best game in arkham series. User score is low because when the game came out, had so much bug and porting problem. But they fixed them all. I had 0 problem while playing. I suggest you to play this one.

    A somewhat disappointing conclusion to one of the best superhero game series. This game adds a lot from the graphical fidelity to the satisfying and destructive Batmobile. Unfortunately, with everything the game adds, there is a catch. With the graphical upgrade came performance issues and with the Batmobile sections, repetitiveness and uninspired enemy design.

    Too much Batmobile, very disappointing boss fight with Deathstroke (after one of the best in the Arkham origins). And it is horrible that to get a true ending you need to grind boring militia side quests. Other than that, amazing game, great plot and super fun gameplay. Technically great game (fully repaired as of now), the level of details and animations quality I really miss in modern AAA games.

    Batman is a lot more powerful. You have lots of villains to choose from. Batmobile is quite powerful and you can solve a couple of puzzles with it. You also have dual takedowns sequences where you team up with another character or batmobile. There's lots of side missions. The expansion missions are very short but nevertheless a breathe of fresh air.

    The story is great. The ending is great. They've fleshed out all characters very well. There's lots of gadgets. It's fun to beat up a mob of villains because Batman's fights are very well orchestrated. He can also cover a lot of distance between enemies in the middle of a fight which is a relief from the previous series.

    Overall, this is the best in the series.    … Expand

    I only played Arkham City before Arkham Knight, but this feels like even better game. I know PC port was terribly optimized at launch, but playing this in 2023 I am very satisfied with the performance. And overall this game is just great.

    First of all, even 7 years on, the game looks gorgeous; the lights of Gotham to the Rain on your armour, genuinely looks phenomenal even after all this time.
    The story is very good, very comic-book esque, one can tell they took inspiration from the Knightfall comics, where Batman needs to round up all the villains in one night.

    Scarecrow has proven to be a solid big-time Villain, a lot of the time we think that it has to be The Joker, or Bane, Poison Ivy, and I feel like a lot of the time Scarecrow gets pushed into being more of a side villain; but making him the primary antagonist and using the Fear Toxin in creative ways, genuinely great writing.

    Gameplay plays similar to what we're used to from Arkham Asylum, if you've played the Middle Earth Shadow of War type games you'll feel right at home with this, or even Spider-man on the Playstation.

    The Batmobile: People tend to be very mixed on this, most of the people I've seen reviewing or talking about the game seem to talk about the Batmobile negatively, I personally, quite liked it, having the walking tank and blowing up the drones. I think if you view the Batmobile exactly as what it is, a walking tank used to take down things Batman can't do on foot, and understand that Batman -needs- this in order to proceed with saving Gotham, you might view it like I do; as a good addition to the series.

    Side Quests: Gotham's Most Wanted, in my opinion, is great, the fact we can go around and apprehend other villains free in Gotham at our own leisure in their own self-contained storylines is interesting and fun to see how they play out. Furthermore I highly recommend if you buy this game to get the Season of Infamy - Most Wanted DLC, this gives you four extra baddies with their own short storylines to apprehend. But the best part about that DLC is that it blends in -seamlessly- with the main story, you don't feel like you're heading to a specific DLC area, it just all flows into what you want to do next. This is the best way to do DLC's in my opinion.

    Generally, I can highly recommend Arkham Knight, it took me around 24 hours or so to do all of the Most Wanted DLC, the Story and all of the other Baddy storylines (Except for the Riddler Trophys). It was very fun, kept pulling me back. I feel if you're a Batman fan, whether of the films or the comics, you will be hard-pressed to dislike this game.    … Expand

    I am my revenge. The storytelling is very bad. We are constantly beating tanks. Please dont. Take Arkham City for example. He's technically improved a bit, but his first release was bad. The gameplay is fluid and beautiful.

    Aber mal im Ernst, das Spiel ist fantastisch. Mehr noch, es ist UNFASSBAR FANTASTISCH. Es ist mit riesigem Abstand das beste Spiel in der Arkham reihe, auch wenn eigentlich alle Spiele der Arkham Reihe mindestens gut sind.

Some of y'all seriously need to complete some non-free iq test before typing something with your gross messy fingers in here, or just stick to easier games (in all senses) like candy crush saga (if you can figure out what you should do there ofc).

Seriously, I've seen dude giving this game 0 because he CAN'T COMPLETE THE FIRST **** PUZZLE. Lot of retards dropping 0 because it runs at 30 fps at their **** Half of them because they can't figure out how to use settings and increase the frame rate (there's more buttons on your **** toothbrush than in graphics settings of this game), others because they playing on like 100$ build. What the **** I just know that there's plenty of **** dropping 0 for this game saying that graphics is suck because they didn't turned off grain in the settings. Nah man **** is shocking.

    This game is actual masterpiece. The graphics quality, the city, npcs, story, gayplay, overall. When you remember it's made in 2015 your jaw simply falls. There's 4 billion gadgets in this game, and you use every one of them in all kind of situations. Fighting system is simply a sandbox, where you can do incredible things. Graphics and design just don't need any words, zoom anywhere and you'll find a bunch of trash, spider web or something. Design of the game overall is wow. Npcs not just standing or walking around, they talking all the time, they breaking the store window, punching some car, shooting in the air. Game contains lots of costumes for batman, plenty of em for robin and couple for other characters. Not just made up costumes, but from tv shows or movies appearance mostly. Lots of batmobile skins. But there is a lot of boring stuff on the map, like Riddler's puzzles or stels missions, but it's also done smart, firstly because you can beat Riddler's people and they tell you locations of couple puzzles, second because almost every puzzle is different. No, i mean there's a group of puzzles with the ball, couple with saving dudes from their head explosion, couple with other concept.

    I was preparing myself just in case there was some nod from Gotham Knights to its predecessor. AK has a good mix of classic Batman mythos and gritty ruthless Gotham. My only issues were of course the tedious riddler busy work for the true ending scene. Characters felt like they should be around to help Batman and they aren't helpful to the greater threat at hand.

My only issues were of course the tedious riddler busy work for the true ending scene. Characters felt like they should be around to help Batman and they aren't helpful to the greater threat at hand. Some character logic was off and the bat family is an after thought when some of them can use closure. I think the thing that all games that go this open city route suffer from the most is continuing to make citizens nonexistent. It works for this game because of the destruction. However if Rocksteady can not be afraid of adding them in for SucideSquad or any other DC games it would be more immersive. If it can work for every Spider-man game it can work for a DC superhero game.

    Combat and maneuverability are good for its era, graphics set the BAR!

    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.
