    This game is really excellent. It's a very successful game from its action to its dialogues. This was my favorite batman game. The second was arkham city.
    If you just want to go from the story mode, it still provides a satisfying experience. But don't delete it before you do the side missions and finish the game.

    the game starts off promising but goes down hill pretty fast by the near halfway point of the game i just was waiting for the game to finally end and now that the main story is over i can definitely say im never going back to this game as all the side content seems just as bad if not worse

    i hate batmobile in my opinion you are a very silly concept hero and you drive a car I think it is a terrible idea and in this game there are so many batmobiles we see more batmobiles than batman the name of the game should have been batman arkham batmobile an idea I didn't like when it appeared so much in a game I hated the game old i used to love batman games but this didn't happen

    Probably my least favourite of the series, did not enjoy it, found that after about 10 mins the batmobile got boring. Certain missions were annoying and irrelevant, The Riddlers voice just irritated me, Azrael was pointless. The Joker showing up after dying seemed stupid PLUS the indentity of the Arkham Knight was spoiled almost immediately.

    Hate this game, really like the first two, wanted to finish it out but it's the stupid batmobile. I do not like driving games, or tank battles and it's really pissing me off. Why change the whole formate of a 3 part game?! Just because you wanna drive the batmobile.

I bought this game right when it came out and hated the first mission and put it away until today, and I'm at the car on roof mission and I'm done. Thanks for making it so throughly unenjoyable that I'm just done with the game. I mean the stupid riddle side mission is all races, since when does the riddler care about racing? Just dumb. If you wanted to add the car then fine let us drive it around and use it. But don't make us have to use it for EVERYTHING! I'll just watch the story on YouTube I guess, not gonna even bother again.… Expand

    Overrated and up-voted by incessant Batman fan boys. From a neutral perspective I found the combat lame, Batmobile driving mechanics terrible and the Riddler sections absolutely excruciating. At least the atmosphere was good along with the freedom to roam around on side missions. Solve all of Riddlers 200+ puzzles to see the true ending - you kidding me????

    Very overrated game! In one word: awful (especially because of the difficutly and repetitive feeling).

I played Asylum some years ago and although this is not my kind of game I recognise that it was a good game so there were not any red flags, especially with so many reviews praising this game but from the beginning it felt repetitive. Also, don't expect having any help when you don't know what to do (I don't know how many times I looked for help on Youtube!). I highly recommend to spend some points improving the defense and the cannon of the batmobile because if not it's going to be very very difficult and even doing that you are going to have to be skilled with the battles with the batmobile. I only did 3 sidequests and they were not much interesting. I don't like games were you have to do many sidequests to keep advancing with the main story and this game is made this way (like the latest Asssassin's Creed games are too). I like playing to be entertained and not for being stressed like in this. Plot is ok. Graphics are good. It could have been a better game if it was easier and if it would help you with hints when you needed them. The voice of Batman is horrible (he speaks like a robot), much better in Spanish.

    I would only recommend this game to people looking for "challenging" games or that want to do the sidequests (and then earn points to improve things). If not the case, you will end up dying again and again and again and getting frustrating. I bought it for a good price so I will probably get my money back. The main story must last about 16-19 hours but I think it would have last about 12 hours if it wasn't so difficult.    … Expand

    I don't know who designed this game but it's one of the most badly designed games I have ever played. Controls are clunky and the riddler challenges are completely nonsensical and just there to add a good 30 hours of (boring) play time to an otherwise empty shell of a game that would last 5 hours. At least I got this on offer and only spent 9.99 on it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Batman could not have hoped for a worse send-off than the one he got in Arkham Knight. This game's story is pointless, the missions are annoying, the map is awful to navigate and the most of enemies are so bad. How could you make Batman's rogue gallery (and in particular, the scarecrow) boring? Yes the joker is incredible this game, but having a good antagonist is only half of the battle. Also, the Arkham Knight? What the **** Okay, we know that he is Jason Todd, yes, very predictable, but his character makes no sense. How, the actual **** did this kid manage to develop an army, military level equipment and reputation from nothing? He was left for dead by the joker, and he's just fine? Who helped him when he was bleeding out and dying on the floor? Pointless game, pointless story, pointless send-off. I also just want to clarify that this coming from a fairly big Batman fan in general, I just wish that this game was as grounded as the others in the series.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Man, this game was a major disappointment. Story does not make sense, very sloppy, and extremely predictable. Didn’t mind the batmobile like most, bc it was cool and brought something different. However, the boss battles and missions are EXTREMELY repetitive. Honestly, the best parts of this game are the challenge maps and the “Arkham Episodes”. The main story, however, is pretty terrible. Definitely the worst/weakest out of the Arkham games, including Origins. Guess it was hard without having Paul Dini to write an amazing story.… Expand

    Bought this game on sale after seeing all the high review scores. Never played any of the previous Batman games. I played the game for about an hour and then became frustrated by the lack of tutorial, guidance, gps, navigation system. I didn’t know where to go or what to do. Stopped playing it and never went back.

    This is an odd game. It has all the fun and enjoyment of the previous Arkham games but then it'll do a 180 and force you into batmobile missions. If I wanted to place a racing game or a tank battle game, I would've bought one of those instead.

    Challenges add a lot of replay value.
    The main story is my main gripe, as it left me a bit cold. I just didn't care about Arkham Knight, and a more central, recognizable character would have been preferred.

    This game is extremely refined, the best in the series for pure fun and quality of gameplay.    … Expand

If you're looking for a realistic, atmospheric and immersive game, this isnt it.

    I gave up on the game after the point where I had to save 5 or 8 officers using the batmobile. Argh, so exasperating. And the combat is, i cant believe that people are gushing abt it, but OMG the combat is boring. It's like the complete opposite of Bloodborne/Dark Souls..tooooo easy.

    Story wise, lame. I really hated how they made it so convenient that the whole city had to be evacuated, just to fit in their gaming development constraints. I mean come on! The Witcher 3, Fallout, Mad Max, AssCreed, had living worlds with NPCs moving about with daily routines. This world is just full of criminals running amok and supervillains leading them. Its lazy writing is what it is.

    The ONLY batman game i really enjoyed was the very first one, Arkham Asylum cos that game was tight! Quality instead of quantity. Speaking of which, the true ending of this game is hidden behind The Riddler's endless tasks. Absolute wank.

    In conclusion, play this ONLY IF you're a Batman fan..or if this ends up on PS+ one day.    … Expand

    The game is a mess of unorganized content thrown at you at without any design. It's a far cry away from the clever level design of Arkham asylum that actually asked you to problem solve.

    Batman: Arkham Knight presents a technically proficient and overall satisfying ending to the Arkham series, but suffers from overuse of the novelty item Batmobile and extremely repetitive tank battles. [Aug 2015]

    Batman: Arkham Knight is the best looking game in the series so far, and includes a lot of cool stuff for fans of Batman. But at the same time it’s starting to feel like Rocksteady is almost too comfortable. It lacks new content, except the pretty bad designed Batmobile parts. If you haven’t played the previous games that much you will probably think that this is one of the best games this year.
