    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First impressions of Arkham Knight were amazing. I loved the plot, I loved the side missions, I loved the mechanics, the graphics were stunning, the framerate was unbelievable and the pacing was perfect.

    That being said there was one side mission I could not stand and I need to get this out the way; the Riddler missions.
    Sure some of the earlier challenges to save Catwoman were fun and actually made me feel smart but once you have finished those missions and have a 10 second battle with the riddler boss, you are not allowed to continue any further until you have finished all 276 (some of which are in groups, so, in essence, there are over 350 riddles) riddles placed around the city,
    What's even worse is that to locate all of these locations on the map you have to interrogate thugs that know the locations and these start out fun but end up being tedious as there are so many ways you can fail these interrogations.
    Without finishing all of the missions (including Riddler) you can only see the incomplete Knightfall Protocol, to view the full one will take hours and hours of playing and solving.

    Other problems to note:

    The Batmobile- although fun at first;
    The tank fights become repetitive and drag on.
    The cornering is clunky.
    The controls are annoying and foreign unless you change them.
    However, despite all this, the upgrades really do help and the power winch is pretty cool.

    Side missions;
    Some of them take forever to find (such as the Man-Bat mission).
    Some of them don't reveal themselves instantly and some require you to manually find the locations, most of these being the occupation missions.

    Upgrades and Tools
    The upgrade system is amazing in Arkham Knight I couldn't find any flaws in the layout or any problems, you get all your gadgets in the perfect spot in the mission.
    However, the upgrades themselves become exponentially more expensive as the story goes on and you will almost undoubtedly not achieve them all before you finish the main story or possibly even all of the side missions.

    All that aside there is no denying that Arkham Knight is an amazing game with an amazing story and side missions, great mechanics and skill trees/upgrade system and on top of that plenty of DLC at very reasonable prices (some of which are free!) which add stacks of missions skins and more AR challenges (personally I haven't played many).
    I would highly recommend this game to anyone that wants to finish off the Arkham series, hit some villains or just anyone that wants to be THE BATMAN (sorry hardcore nerd, right here).    … Expand

    Batman: Arkham Knight is solidly ok, maybe more on the high side of a 7. The worst of the game is turning the super hero adventure into just another open world game where you have to take down bases and watchtowers. It's more like Far Cry: Batman than actual Batman.

The worst of the game is turning the super hero adventure into just another open world game where you have to take down bases and watchtowers. It's more like Far Cry: Batman than actual Batman. Actually, it gets even worse because many times in the game you cannot progress the main story until you wander around the map and find enough side missions to pursue. Then there's the Batmobile.

    At first blush, the Batmobile seems like an interesting addition to the game, and it turns into a tank so you can shoot "unmanned" drones. Then the it quickly becomes clear that the game requires you to use the Batmobile every other mission and constantly upgrade it to complete those missions. The game then becomes part driving, part tank fighting, and part actual Batman game. Only one of those is really worth playing. Maybe I would enjoy the Batmobile more if it was more driveable, faster, and less prone to slide into buildings and off bridges.

    The actual story in the game is greatly presented but actually pretty short when you subtract the Batmobile sequences and all of the time you spend running around looking for mandatory side missions. The encounters with the side villains are slight, such as stopping a few bank robberies and then punching the villain just like any other goon. The Riddler missions are more extensive, but even they waste time by requiring Batman to traverse the city to find and then solve simple puzzles. I can imagine a better game presenting truly difficult Riddler puzzle that the player could solve while the game is paused, and then watch the Riddler's astonished face as Batman once again proves his mental superiority.

    As far as the real Batman part of the game goes, it works wonderfully. The story is classic Batman, the brooding loner against all odds to save Gotham from his sadistic and psychologically damaged foes. Batman has his usual counter moves and gadgets and as I player I felt confident taking on large groups of enemies. Some of the gadgets could use more oomph, and I'm surprised Batman's arsenal doesn't include a taser and other non-lethal ways to quickly take down enemies. I suppose when you have the strength and reflexes of Batman, your don't really need a lot of offensive gadgets.

    All in all, Arkham Knight is a decent enough adventure but you have to be willing to accept repetitive Batmobile tank battles, base captures, and wandering around Gotham aimlessly in hopes of finding something fun to do.    … Expand

    I originally played this game on PC and recently revisited it on PS4. On PC, I gave it a 10 but I am sorry to say the game is not as tremendous as I remembered. The game has a very good open world and interesting, if sometimes disappointing, side missions. With the exception of the Riddler's stupid trophies, I would say all of the side missions are absolutely worth completing.

    The story, while not up to par with Origins or City, is still a joy to play through. It's always fun to go through another chapter of Batman's history. Unfortunately, the thing that really drags this game down is both its horrendous pacing (some sections in the story can be quite boring) and the Batmobile. I actually do not have that much of a problem with the Batmobile's combat. It is the puzzle-solving with the Batmobile that really takes it too far in my opinion.

    Arkham Knight is not the most satisfying conclusion that Rocksteady could've developed for their saga, but it's not that bad. There is definitely some room for improvement. The only reason I'm giving this game a 8 instead of an 7 is because the excellent combat and stealth gameplay that has been built upon over the course of the series is still here and it's still great.    … Expand

    The Batman Arkham series sadly ends on an almost flat note as the best thing about the final game is the superbly impressive graphics whilst i feel the story was lacking and the villains just turned out to be boring although on the bright-side the game play is still pretty good overall this game is playable though you'll want to go back to city or asylum halfway through playing this dull finale

    A pied, on retrouve le combat monotouche à tapoter avec plein de super-ralentis qu'ils sont trop bien quand tu casses la gueule à tes ennemis, accompagné du mini-jeu de rythme inclus qui con-siste à appuyer sur un autre bouton lorsqu'une lampe apparaît sur la tête d'un personnage que t'es en train de péter la gueule (ou que tu vas péter la gueule prochainement incessamment sous peu) : voilà... appuie sur iiiiiigrèèèèk. Putaing cong, t'y as fait un contre dans sa gueule ! oh le culé !

    Là aussi, la répétition est de mise, car cette ville est remplie d'ennemis (et de tanks) et se remplit automatiquement d'ennemis (et de tanks). Elle est bien vide à part ça, il fait toujours nuit, il pleut ! eh regarde mes beaux reflets par terre avec mon vieux moteur Unreal qui n'en peut plus ! Rocksteady contrôlent les dégâts comme ils peuvent mais on ne nous la fait pas, non, non : on est plus sur 360...

    Donc on se fait bien chier avec ce Batmou baraqué comme Musclor, avec ses gadgets ringards, ce scénario grotesque qui meuble comme pas deux, son dirigisme permanent et l'infiltration peau de chagrin. Complètement à l'ouest le gros con masqué ! il est temps que ça s'arrête. Warner aussi d'ailleurs : version PC retirée de la vente (mes connesdoléances) et foire aux DLC abjecte.    … Expand

    Batman: Arkham Knight develops upon previous titles of the Arkham Franchise. It improves upon combat, gliding, upgrades, story and more. This In my Opinion is a worthy completer.

Lets start off by saying the combat is phenomenal Its incredibly improved from the previous title and just kills button mashing. The gliding is a bit repetitive in my opinion. In the beginning I enjoyed gliding through out the city, but as a progressed I found it more of a chore and actually enjoyed walking from rooftop to rooftop later on. the parkour is fairly basic, and isn't much. But I suppose thats not a key part of the game. The batmobile isn't as bad as everyone says infact I think it adds variety towards the formula of Batman Arkham Knight. A key exponent towards the success of Batman Arkham Knight. The graphics are some of the best graphics I have seen even now in 2017 I still debate whether or not any game has been able to exceed Batman Arkham Knight in such detail and design. The game also features additional story and additional free content. Now lets talk about the story.

    Batman Arkham Knight's shines in its plot. Scarecrow creates a plan alongside of the Arkham Knight. A unknown vigilante who seems to know every single detail of Batman. As the story progresses Scarecrow and the Arkham Knight put more and more pressure on Batman. The story is totally a campaign you should check out. Its well thought out and has one large surprise towards the beginning for new and returning Arkham players :))

    Overall I give Batman Arkham Knight a 9/10. The game is just like the previous titles but with a few minor improvements.

    Pros:
    Fun Combat
    In depth Story
    Bat mobile gives Batman much more *Badassy*
    Beautiful and Detailed Visuals.
    Realistic Physics and easy to use controls.
    Additional Free Content and cheap Season Pass.

    Cons:
    Gliding gets repetitive.
    Nothing much to do after completion.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Arkham series is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites. I love how they included the Joker while keeping true to the events in Arkham City. I love Mark Hamill as the Joker. The side quests are fun and give you something else to do other than advance the story. I like that the writers aren't afraid to kill major characters, because it makes the stakes higher. You never know what's going to happen from one cut scene to another. The game also has several great jump moments that not only startle, but make you cautious in other scenes. It is very difficult to make a game that causes an emotional response in the player, and this is one of those games. This should be applauded. I'm also a big fan of the free flow combat system, which really draws me in and makes me feel more immersed in the Batman experience. I also like the holding cells at GCPD. It's fun to watch them fill up and the shelves in the evidence room store mementos from the super villains you capture.

    Great game and a wonderful return to the gameplay of Asylum and City after the disappointment of Origins.

    The bat mobile is somewhat difficult to control. I think they needed to tighten their physics just a little bit. The tank mode is fun, but feels somewhat cheap in the big boss battles. I also meet the free flow slowdown from getting high enough combos that was present in earlier games. When you're facing a giant crowd, it's nice to have those few extra moments to plan your next move. Last, I wish there was a batcave or other home base like previous games. Not that it really affects the story, but it's feels more like Batman.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rocksteady had a very interesting idea for the story and the gameplay is probably the best gameplay of all time but they made a misstake when Paul Dini, who wrote Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, quit.

    The story is really fun to play and enjoy UNTIL the Scarecrow releases the cloudburst all over Gotham and where the game starts to fall with way to many tank battles and a overused Batmobile makes 1/3-1/2 of the game feel like Rocksteady were just throwing time wasting stuff in the game to make it longer which feels unnecessary since the game's main story is about 10-12 hours long and the could've been great if it was just 8 hours with just a few tank battles and 1 tank battle fight.

    The boss battles are huge let downs since the game gave us all this build and it just led to another bossfight -in a tank...

    But Penguin's side mission and some other side missions are really great and the game is definitely worth buying.

    Gameplay: 9/10

    - Huge improvement of the gameplay, Batman can now interact with the enviroment as you're kicking ass with bats, huge light bulbs the Batmobile etc.
    But when it comes to the Batmobile it could've been a little bit better but it's still great!

    Story: 8/10

    A little predictable but it's a really good story.

    Graphics: 10/10

    The graphics looks great almost too great with great effects and character models. I was very impressed. While they made Bruce Wayne look a little too old and a very handsome man the other characters looks superb.

    Overall: 6.7/10

    Way too long with an verused Batmobile makes it feel thrown in our face like, "Here, take this and now eat it".
    Could've been cut down to 8 hours without way too many tank battles and like I said before, they made a misstake when Paul Dini leaved.    … Expand

The story is really good, the fighting is outstanding and few scenes in this game are just Amazing and I'm not going to tell here to spoil your moment but there are many that you will find. How can I forget about the Batmobile. I can only define it in one word "AWESOME". I read about some people saying that they love it but they don't like that they have to do missions with it, but I totally disagree because Batmobile is a Fantastic feature and I believe it's a great addition to the franchise.

    There is one problem with this game and that is the Villain, I mean I like scarecrow but I think he didn't deserve to be a main villain. I can't recommend any other villain but I think if they had shown Bane or Deathstoke the main villain and had made Final Boss battle worth remembering then it would have been wonderful.
    So my Final verdict for this game is that its a must buy game and trust me You will enjoy

    Finally, Scarecrow, one of batman's most compelling villians, gets the screentime he deserves. Arkham knight, an equally fascinating adversary also plays a huge part. And best of all, though deceased, the Joker's duality with Batman is explored as a figment of Batman's imagination. This is an immensely satisfying story that concludes the story exactly how a fan would want it to.
    The gameplay is well varied for the most part. Predator encounters are presented sparingly, and usually with a new strategy required to complete it. Melee portions are pretty cookie-cutter, but come on, those are just awesome; The new environmental takedowns only add to that.
    Where the game goes wrong for many people is the large amount of gameplay in the batmobile, which does get pretty repetitive. I personally have fun in the batmobile, but there are several instances where I spent about thirty minutes dodging and shooting at tanks for a mere side objective. These new gameplay mechanics, would have been breathtaking had they been used for just a few levels, rather than 75% of the game.
    All in all, Batman Arkham Knight presents a compelling open world environment with a variety of challenges while simultaneously delivering the narrative cohesion that was missing from the Arkham City and Orgins.    … Expand

    I laugh at all of the idiots who are saying that Origins was "God-Awful" and that City was "the Best game in the franchise".

    This is a load of crap. While I WOULD prefer owning City over Asylum, due to a bigger map and a much broader spectrum of things to do, and quests to complete, I would undoubtedly Prefer owning Arkham Knight over any other game in the franchise.

    Origins was a good game, maybe not as good as Knight, but it was certainly better than Asylum, in terms of map size, detail, and quests, and did improve somewhat on the gameplay of City, with different gadgets, new enemies, (such as the martial artists) that only helped to improve the overall game. The people saying Origins sucks are just repeating what others are saying, regardless of whether they played the game or not. And as a fan of the franchise, I would put Origins Second to last on a scale of the games, Asylum being the last, City the second, and Knight the First.

    The gameplay is much more immersive, the storytelling is grittier and darker than previous titles, but this only helps to create a living world around you, making you feel as if you really are batman grapelling through the skyline, and ending thugs left and right.

    The batmobile is definitely not overused (xD), And having just completed the main Most Wanted quest, I hadnt even thought about the overuse of the batmobile till I got to this reviews site.

    The batmobile opens up the door to a whole new array of missions and puzzles, making quests such as the riddler a much more diverse and puzzling ordeal.

    The buttons were redone, and it is dissapointing that I could not switch R2/L2 with R1/L1 seeing as how this is the way i had done it the entire franchise.

    The controls, you will get used to though, and once you master every new move that batman has in his arsenal, such as gadget takedowns and combat maneuvers, you will no doubt feel a connection between yourself, and the game.

    The graphics are richly detailed, enticing you to exit your batmobile in places such as the Subway terminals, and look around.

    Everything feels as if it has a story to it, and I even caught myself wondering at one point, what the story was behind a store, or a dark street, or even an overturned car!

    2.Too much of a tank fight. While I enjoy using batmoblie around the city, I don't think using it as a tank is a good way to do in Batman game. Sometimes it feels good but sometimes it does not, and if you rethink for a second, we buy this game because we want to play as batman, not a tank destroyer. Therefore, even the tank-fight mechanic is good (it is really good), it is not batman game. They should make a separate game for this.

    Now the story is decent but there are a few things that piss me off like the fact that you never face scarecrow in a final bossfight like you do with the arkham knight and the fact that 60% of this game is drone fighting with your batmobile (MORE LIKE THE BAT TANK) it just sucks that rocksteady decided to ignore all the potential for the batmobile (BAT TANK ) and just feel lazy about it and not even bother,
    Its like get in the batmobile fight drones SHUT UPP :( the characters are boring especially the arkham knight
    Scarecrow is not any better as well , but theres one man who outshines them all and its your good old friend THE JOKER this such a creative edition to the game and it gives the game some very funny moments the controlles are great though i do recommend you using a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard, the fighting is awesome stealth is decent graphics are gorgeous best looking batman game off all time exploration is cool some skills are useless all in all its an above average game and its definetly worth buying now :)    … Expand

    Technically the game is beautiful and flawless on PS4 (yes I'm well aware of the problems on PC but I'm not reviewing this version of the game), it was probably the best looking game on this generation (exclusives aside) when it came out, the animations are also superb, a great job from Rocksteady (they didn't manage the PC version).

    Concerning the gameplay the fighting system is still absolutely fun, the action never stops, there's a good variety of combo and the controls are responsive. The stealth part is also very well manage with lot of possibilities to deal with them. And for the driving, the main novelty of this episode it is also very well down, the bat-mobile is as reactive and powerful that you'll dream of , unfortunately they over did it a little and you use it a bit too much in the game and you can be bored with it during time.

    The story is once again marvelous, Batman fan or not everybody will be committed to it, with some nice twists. There's also a lot of side activities to do (like I said a bit too much of bat-mobile in them, but also some great ones) that brings variety and length to the game ( around 50 hours for 100%).

    So in conclusion Arkham Knight on PS4 is great game prevented from perfection only by an overdose of bat-mobile (but I can understand them, it must have been like hell to program it as good as they did) but every super hero lovers must play this game (as well as the whole Arkham series).    … Expand

    Arkham Knight is even more fun to play than Arkham City. The gliding is faster and controls wonderfully, and the combat is more intense. Say what you will about the Batmobile, I found driving enjoyable once I got the hang of the mechanics. While the story isn't as strong as the one in City, it contains one of my favorite final boss experiences in gaming.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Batman: Arkham Knight is easily one of the best (if not "the best") game of 2015. Everything that was great in Batman: Arkham City, is back, but enough new, to make this game be little better.

    It actually feels like you are Batman, when you fight thugs in amazing combat system, free roam Gotham city high in air and meet several well made villains from Batman universe.

    Voice acting is great and every character is well made, missions contain very emotional, shocking, surprising and strong moments.

    Main villain is best so far in Arkham series. Scarecrow is everything that is needed. He is different, threatening and every way well made character. Then there is Joker, that has brought back with extra edge.

    Pretty much only really negative thing the game is that Batman mobiletank is overused. You should not fight martial artist like Deathstroke, in tank battle and Riddler's challenges use car too much also. Other thing with Riddler is that I hate to wait before I can do things. Before you progress to certain point in the game, I can't do certain things.

    Ending is one thing that is fairly ok, but could have used little more thinking and work. It is ok, but it lacks that something, that would really conclude the series. With this current one, things are not finished, something is missing.

    Arkham series has been wonderful and Rocksteady has given games that have become better and better. Many things are not so different from City, but Knight gives very much for the fans. I admit that Arkham Knight is not perfect game and it is not that much better than Arkham City, but it gives a little more than its predecessor.

    But after all good and bad parts in the game, good ones win with overwhelming majority.
    Batman: Arkham Knight is masterpiece even with it's flaws. No game is perfect. Story has some downsides and riddle's have some, but there is so much good in this game, that it deserves it place as on the best PS4 games.

    Second, you guys who are saying this game sucks for nonchalant reasons: have you actually played the game? Play through it before writing a review, please. And I mean all the way through the campaign.

    Third and final, a lot of people are complaining and whining about the Batmobile and the fact that this game out too early. I find this funny because these are the same people who whined and complained about the Batmobile not being in the other games and the fact that Arkham Knight was pushed back not once, not twice, but FOUR times. Rocksteady read has done everything they can to make this work and you guys just come here and complain about it? If I was Rocksteady, I would honestly just stop making games all together for you people.

    Now, this is a message to everyone. If you're thinking about not buying the game because of some lousy reviews, please get the game. Seriously, don't let someone else's opinion decide whether you are going to buy a game or not. If you WANT to play it, then get it! It doesn't matter what others are saying, because who cares! When it comes to gaming, the only thing that matters is YOUR opinion!

    Anywho, sorry for all the ranting, but people just need to be told. This game is great, it is everything I was hoping for in the Batman finale, and it has blown me away on every scale. I am terrible sorry for those who did not enjoy it, but maybe those are the same people who enjoy CoD. Who knows? But wow, Arkham Knight took my breath away. It is predictable, yes, but does that ruin the game!? Heck no! It actually helps if you try not to think about it. Just play the game and enjoy it! But yes, the gameplay is flawless, graphics are stunning, story is on point, and the sound is great. Even the characters are wonderful. Come on: it's the same batman game we've been with since Arkham Asylum. Only this time, it's a lot bigger than Asylum and a lot more addicting then City. This game is beyond amazing. It never disappoints me tbh. And to all the Batmobile haters: I love driving it around. I don't care if it's forced on me, I'm going to drive it for fun because it's just THAT cool. I love it. Maybe add the Batwing next? Overall, amazing game and I recommend this title to everyone.    … Expand

    Truly masterpiece and one of the best games in this generation. Amazing art, attention to details and great soundtrack. Arkham Knight is an outstanding game on almost every level.

    The first and second games of this series were the best. Asylum's story was much better than any other, and City allowed for the most unique gameplay letting one be Catwoman in the story and then 4 different characters for challenge maps. Knight's villain sucks, there is a cool Joker side plot, but the villain is recycled and they claimed he was a never before seen Batman villain.The first and second games of this series were the best.

    Batman : Arkham Knight is a continuation of the excellent action-adventure video game series featuring Batman, developed by Rocksteady studios.

    Some fans have affectionately called the games which consist of Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins (not developed by Rocksteady, but Warner Bros Montreal) as "Batman simulators" whereby you as the player get to really experience the awesome skills and tech that Batman has at his disposal.

    Arkham Knight continues and improves on the tried and tested formula established by the previous games in the series, most notably by including the Batmobile and giving the player complete control and freedom to use the vehicle pretty much anywhere on the streets of Gotham City.
    Enhancements and additions have been made to the freeflow combat system, and beating on thugs has never been more fun. Where the freeflow combat really shines is during missions where Batman is fighting side by side with an ally, such as Robin, Nightwing or Catwoman and doing skull-cracking dual takedowns on your victims.
    Predator mode does not seem to feature as much in Arkham Knight as much as it did in the previous games - quite possibly due to the game world having been expanded significantly and no longer having so many closed off and tight spaces, but another skill has been introduced in the form of Fear Takedowns - which is basically a move where Batman can take down a number of goons in quick succession by selecting and pressing a single button on your controller.

    The story is similar to the previous games with the Scarecrow and the an original character named the Arkham Knight being the "big bads" alongside a wide selection from Batman's rogues gallery such as the Penguin, Riddler, Two Face, in lesser roles - who are putting Batman through his paces during one rainy night in Gotham City.

    This game, being a "next gen" exclusive title for PS4, XBox One and PC, has seen a major improvement in the graphics department and the detail is truly impressive. From raindrops running down Batman's suit and cowl to high detail models and textures, this game truly showcases next gen graphics. While the PC version of the game has had a lot of bad press due to its general buggy state, the PS4 version runs flawlessly and smoothly.

    All in all the game is thoroughly enjoyable and a must-have for anyone who enjoys action adventure games such as Shadow of Mordor, God of War and the previous Batman Arkham titles.    … Expand

    Being someone who's favourite game of all time is Batman: Arkham City, you can imagine how high the bar was set for Arkham Knight. It does try its very best to scratch and claw its way to that bar, but does not quite reach it, for a reason I will explain later on.

    Firstly, the gameplay is as spectacular as it is in previous instalments, its far from broke so why fix it, right?

It does try its very best to scratch and claw its way to that bar, but does not quite reach it, for a reason I will explain later on.

    Firstly, the gameplay is as spectacular as it is in previous instalments, its far from broke so why fix it, right? Gotham City has never looked so crisp, and the sheer size of the City to glide from building to building really does make you feel like the Bat. The voice acting is as brilliant as previous games, with most actors returning to their roles, in sometimes brilliant fashion.

    What takes this score to a 7? The batmobile. When it was announced that the batmobile was playable in Arkham Knight I was optimistic about what that would bring to the game, would it be a way of getting around a huge Gotham City quicker? Maybe used in a couple of missions? This is true, but using the batmobile becomes more of a chore than a help. Most missions will include some kind of mini-horde mode where you will have to take out other tanks, which is fun the first couple of times but becomes a drag. The Riddler creates tracks for the batmobile, come on, is that what The Riddler is all about?

    All in all Arkham Knight is a very good game, but the batmobile does overstay its welcome massively.    … Expand

    It would have easily been an 8 if the batmobile sections weren't in them, or at least not so frequent. It improves on the features and mechanics of the previous two games otherwise. The story is a hodgepodge of ideas used before, but that's fine, since it's probably just paying homage to much of the source material and adaptations.

    I've never played any other arkham game before this one, but if any of the other games are just as good or even better in terms of quality, then i'm going to have a blast.

    I won't talk about the story because i don't want to spoil anything, so let's go to presentation. PRESENTATION: the game graphicly is very gorgeous,there's not a single thing i consider doll, bad constructed or    I've never played any other arkham game before this one, but if any of the other games are just as good or even better in terms of quality, then i'm going to have a blast.

    I won't talk about the story because i don't want to spoil anything, so let's go to presentation.

    PRESENTATION: the game graphicly is very gorgeous,there's not a single thing i consider doll, bad constructed or animated, the voice acting is phenomenal and the weather effects look very nice. I can't say the same for the music tho, because it's more atmospheric than anything and that makes it very forgettable i my opinion and i also encountered a number of glitches and pop-in every one in a while, so the presentation is good, but not perfect.

    GAMEPLAY: Batman arkham knight has 2 different gameplay styles, the one where you control batman on earth and the other is the most controversial thing in this game...the batmobile. Let's with the "on-foot gameplay": Ok first of all the combat in this game is brilliant, for the most part yo just hammer the attack button to take out enemies, however to the game's credit, it feels awesome when you punch the ever loving **** out of enemies and the combat feels fluid without ever slowing down. To avoid the repetitiveness, arkham knight also has some different enemies that will require different strategies to defeat, you have gigant thugs that you need to stun them before attacking, thugs with shield that require different inputs to defeat, electric thugs that you can't touch until you shoot them with a the gun of electricity or even a combination of all of those enemies.

    Batman can also use a number of items to progress through the adventure and they are all pretty unique and useful, there's batarangs, ice bombs, hacking device, batclaw, grapple-hook, the list goes on and all of these items are useful for many different things like puzzles, combat, travelling, etc.

    Batman can also take down enemies from behind with the stealth mechanic and that is very satisfying to do, however if you do this a number of times a fear meter will fill up and when it's full you can do fear takedowns to eliminate 3-5 thugs and it is very important to use it if you want to complete the game.

    Side-quest are plentiful in this game and they all require a different thing to do like rescue firefighters, stop bank robbers or...uhg...the riddler challenges...ok you know what? **** the riddler, this side-quest is so long, tedious, annoying and boring, that can make any player rage-quit.

    Now let's go to the most divisive part of arkham knight, the batmobile. Ok this thing is used to do 3 things

    1. Travelling through the enormous city.

    2. Solve puzzles.

    3.Tank battles

    The latter being the one i'm going to focus on, because the others are pretty self explanatory. The tank battles basically are the other 50-60% of the game and at least for me it never got repetitive, i love shooting the other tanks and i never got bored with it, there's special weapons that you can use to speed things up and it requires quite a bit of skill to execute well and i always enjoy the time with the batmobile.

    But just like with the side-quests there's one BIG, exception to my enjoiment with the batmobile...the cobra hunting segments, this type of tank battles only happens like 5-6 times in the entire game, but believe me...they are HORRIBLE!!, this sections are one big **** up and easily the worst part about the game for me. Now, why they are so bad?, well, the only way to destroy this thing is from behind, now this in of itself is not bad, however, because the cobra tanks love to be so close to each other, it's nearly impossible to get a clear opportunity to destroy this ******* things, so don't be surprised if many times you were so damn close to destroying one of this tanks, only to be spotted by another one and ruin your whole opportunity and it doesn't help the fact that they can kill you in 2 hits!!, this part of the game are so frustrating, so annoying and soooo BORING, that it brings the pace of the game to a big slugg. Easily the worst thing in this entire experience and something i never want to experience again.

    In conclusion batman arkham knight for the most part is a pretty solid and fun game, and while the music is forgettable, there's a few glitches and pop-up, the riddler can be extremely annoying and the cobra hunting segments can just go **** themselves. The rest of the game is very entreteining, solid and well done. The combat and items are great, the graphics and aesthetics are great, most of the side-quests are pretty fun and the batmobile is a welcome addition (except for the cobra hunting). With that said i'll give the game an 8/10, if any of the other arkham games are just as good or even better than this one, then i'm in for a treat.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although the bat mobile can feel forced and the DLC is extremely disappointing I can't deny the fact that this game was the most exciting,fun and emotional next gen game for me. With the original voice cast returning (except scarecrow and Harley Quinn) I can't help but have the biggest grin on my face throughout the whole story. The story has Batman's last adventure and scarecrows ultimate plan to spread fear across the city and scarecrows ace in the hole is the mysterious arkham knight along the way you can beat side missions,challenges and explore the huge city. However when batman goes to arrest scarecrow in ace chemicals he gets a heavy dose of fear toxin and his inner joker is unleashed and through out the whole story the joker antagonizes you through visions throughout the whole story (which I loved). Near the end the arkham knight is reveled in an obvious twist and a disappointing boss fight ensues you beat him but he escapes. Then during the final confrontation with scarecrow batman's identity is raveled to the world and batman and the joker fight for control and it all ends with batman finally removing joker from his mind and is cured from his disease caused by jokers blood in arkham city. A reformed arkham knight helps batman beat scarecrow and you put him away which leaves you to clean up gotham of its criminals by beating any remaining side missions. Once you complete all the missions you activate the knight fall protocol and you get the full ending if you beat everything (not including challenge maps). Overall the game play is a lot smother than asylum and city and in my opinion the bat mobile was a lot of fun to drive and battle with and there's a lot more story to go through that I didn't write about I say check it out batman fan or not but definitely play asylum and city first (origins if you really like all 3 games)… Expand

    The Batmobile on the whole is a cool addition, but can get a little annoying at times when you have no option but to use it. Schooling the Militia tanks with the missile barrage however is pretty sick!

    Overall Arkham Knight is another solid addition to the never disappointing series. Just a shame Rocksteady has decided to bring it to an end. Such fun games to play!

The story, unlike the most recent Batman movies (Dark Knight trilogy), is pretty silly, full of cheap dialogue lines. There is no complex villains, only the typical "Batman, I'm better than you, and I will prove it" kind of thing.

    You know, games with Batman, or Star Wars brand on them are always going to target people that are more interested in their beloved franchise than in games. Perhaps that will explain he fact this game is always telling you what to do next, and how to do. Its the opposite of a game a like MGSV, that, despite featuring the same kind of final objective over and over, let you choose the approach for each mission, and as results, every single time you tried a specific mission you would get a different experience. That won't happen here. If you get ouf of Batmobile during another boring tank fight, Batman himself will tell you "I must get back to Batmobile, its under attack". If you try to hack a computer while no one else notices you, Batman you tell you "I need to eliminate the hostiles, before I can access the computer". If you try to open a door and explore more, Batman will come up with something like "I can walk around in Batman suit, its too suspicious", If you try to access a mission after losing enemies tanks, Batman will tell you "I can enter here, its too dangerous, I must eliminate all the enemies first". The game is always telling you what you can't do.

    The core gameplay is pretty "meh": you have those fights that used to be great when first Arkham games were released years ago, but got pretty old in 2015. All you need to do is keep pressing one or two buttons untill you have taken down all your enemies. No doubt its a better experience than you will find in the terrible Mad Max, but behind of "Shadows of Mordor" experience. Really ironic, since that game took many elements from Arkham games, but in terms of gameplay raised the bar.

    I found the puzzles unnecessary. Most of them are pretty unnimaginative. Thats not a Zelda kind of game, based in solving puzzles, finding keys, oppening doors and beating the next big boss, so its pretty annoying that you will find yourself in front of a closed door, and you need to find a way to let you Batmobile in. I said "Batmobile"?, Batmobile is eveverywhere. Actually, most part of the game you will spend driving the Batmobile.

    Batmobile is no fun to drive, it has a pretty bad gameplay, and feels like a bumper car. Some missions require you to find a way to let the Batmobile access the roof of a building, since its the only way to open a door, not to mention the boring tank fights. They are everywhere. I keep wondering what they were thinking when they decided to give the Batmobile this kind of important role in this game, worst than that, you keep wondering why they forced you to use the Batmobile.

    The "open world" is amazing to look at, and to fly around, but it feels empty, not because the city was evacuated, but because all you can do there is the same boring fights, and many areas you can't even access on foot, since the enemy tanks will kill with one singles shoot, so you must use the Batmobile (again!).

    PS4 versions, despite the great graphics, don't run 100% okay. During some explosive action I found that the game was on the verge of crashing.

    The best aspect of the game was Batman Joker hallucinations. There is no game around that explored surrealism in a better way than Batman Arkham Knight, its a shame thats not enough to overshadow the boring gameplay, lack of freedom and unispiring story.    … Expand

    This was the first PS4 game I have played, and it was certainly worthy of the franchise name. It is visually stunning and extremely detailed characters and environments. A good size open world, but not so large that it's overwhelming. The original voice actors for Batman and Joker are back which is always a plus. Batmobile is a awesome addition, event though it is somewhat overused. My twoThis was the first PS4 game I have played, and it was certainly worthy of the franchise name. It is visually stunning and extremely detailed characters and environments. A good size open world, but not so large that it's overwhelming. The original voice actors for Batman and Joker are back which is always a plus. Batmobile is a awesome addition, event though it is somewhat overused. My two biggest beefs with this game however is the lack of boss fights, and the ending. Maybe I'm just a sucker for good boss fights but this game's idea of a boss fight is pretty much fighting a group of henchmen. And for being the final game of the series, the ending is certainly....disappointing. Definitely a must play game for the PS4 though.

    Pros:

    Looks great
    Game mechanics are smooth
    Great story

    Cons:
    A tad too much batmobile
    Lack luster boss battles
    Unsatisfying ending.    … Expand

    Great game. Put 9 because then user rating is quite low in my opinion. In fact this is a 8,5 game. Top notch graphics, great plot, great batmobil challenges and quests. The only thing I did not like was repetitive side missions similar to far cry.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphically astounding, technically brilliant and compelling in both terms of gameplay and story - this is by far the best game of the Arkham series.

    Gotham looks wonderful. If you go somewhere like Grand Avenue with all the brightly coloured signs, it really shows how good they designed the world - they have the balance right between bright colours and darkness. In comparison with Arkham City, which was - comparatively - quite dull, Arkham Knight's Gotham looks incredible. Not only that, but it's easy to transverse. The new grapple boost allows for higher and faster gliding, so you can always get to your objective quickly. You can also have the Batmobile launch you into the air - again, making travelling across the map a lot easier. With the way that gliding and diving appears visually, it is also a pleasure to transverse.

    The gameplay still follows the same pattern as Arkham Asylum and City, but it has been improved. It feels a lot smoother, for one. It also feels a lot more precise than the other games in the series. There has also been the inclusion of Fear Takedowns, which allow up to five enemies to be taken out in a matter of seconds - as long as you get close enough without them seeing you.
    Some people would say that the Batmobile is "forced" on the player, but I disagree. It has brought something new in terms of gameplay to the series, and that is all. Of course Rocksteady would like to put an emphasis on it - but in all fairness, Batman is facing an army of unmanned tanks. What else do you expect him to do, apart from getting a tank of his own?
    The Batmobile handles well, and driving it is a lot of fun. I have no idea why people complain about it.
    Rocksteady have also incorporated an aspect of Arkham Origins - the crime scene reconstruction - which makes a welcome return. I enjoyed doing that in Origins, and was glad to see that you use it more frequently - and it has been improved, so it is more of a puzzle and less of a "scan the dots".

    Now about the story. One aspect of the series, which was present in Arkham Asylum - but not in City or Origins - was the horror factor. I was glad to see that it was back in Arkham Knight. The game has a good atmosphere, which gets pretty creepy at times. There are also several jump scares in the game, as well as a little comedy in there too. Joker's blood which was injected into Batman in Arkham City causes him to hallucinate the Joker occasionally - and he always has something amusing to say.
    Which brings me on to the next aspect of the story - the psychological factor. Arkham Knight seems to get into the head of Batman more so than the other games, or any of the films - and that's not just because there is part of the story set inside Batman's mind. It deals with the psychology of the Dark Knight which few mediums manage to do well. It also allows you to get to know the Joker's mind a lot better. Arkham Origins did this in a sense, when Joker was talking to Harleen Quinzel - but I have to say, one of my favourite parts of this game was when you get to play as the Joker (in a sense).
    In terms of the main story - after getting mauled by Killer Croc in Arkham Asylum, the Scarecrow has returned to seek revenge on Batman and to transform Gotham into a "city of fear" - with the aid of a masked man who calls himself the Arkham Knight. Although the game itself is as subtle as a tonne of bricks with who the Arkham Knight actually is - it was hardly a surprise, regardless. Only those who have no previous knowledge of the DC Universe would need the assistance of the cutscenes/hallucinations to figure it out. Still, finding out how the Arkham Knight was 'born' was quite enjoyable.
    Even though the main story should be about the Scarecrow and Arkham Knight - you get the sense that the Joker steals the show, and there are no complaints from me about that. Mark Hamill's performance as the legendary villain is, once again, absolutely superb. The best portrayal of the character ever made, in my opinion.

    There is only one last thing to cover. The DLCs. I have and have played all of the DLCs so far, and I have enjoyed all of them. Yes, they may be short - but they only cost a few pounds, so what do you expect? That does not stop them from being enjoyable. Some, including the Harley Quinn story pack, the Red Hood story pack and the Matter of Family DLC add characters that you can use during AR Challenges, which are a lot of fun.
    I have to say, my two favourites are the Harley Quinn story pack and the Matter of Family DLC. The Harley Quinn story pack (for those who don't know) features the poor, lonely, extremely psychotic sidekick trying to free Poison Ivy from prison. Beating the **** out of Nightwing was the highlight.
    Meanwhile, the Matter of Family DLC is about Batgirl and Robin attempting to free Jim Gordon from the clutches of the Joker and Harley Quinn, in an abandoned amusement park.

    This game is worth playing. One of the best games I have played for a while. Very fun    … Expand

The trailers and gameplay footage shown off at preview events was nothing short of incredible. The visuals, scale and narrative all suggested a game that would easily be a game of the year contender. Not to mention, the pedigree this series has. The Arkham series was a game changer in the industry, in that licensed super hero games could actually stand up to the very best games of that year. Make no mistake Arkham knight is a great game but unfortunately, that is all it merely is. Arkham knight delivers on a lot of its promises, the visuals are absolutely stunning; some of the best this generation in fact. The scale of the game, too, is also impressive. Gotham is certainly larger than Arkham city, in terms of landscape and things to do. However maybe its too much, too many side missions and things to do. Arkham knight seems to lack focus and it overall takes away from the experience. After completing the main story, the player is forced to complete all SIDE objectives to obtain the final ending. Meaning the side content, ironically, is part of the main content in the game. And while the side content is enjoyable, it exists to simply lengthen the game. Same can be said for some of the tank missions, for which there are too many and take away from the experience. The game becomes less immersive and instead becomes a series of boxes to tick. Arkham knight unfortunately doesn't feel like the epic batman experience many were hoping for, but merely a very good batman game. Arkham city felt like, however, an experience and more than just a game. The player was fully immersed in its open world and its narrative to become a batman experience. I spent far less time playing Arkham city than knight, however I treasure it more. It's such a shame, because the narrative of Arkham Knight is compelling with unexpected twists and turns. However this is overshadowed by the needless number of tank missions and side missions in the game. Arkham knight starts off strong and feels like the epic batman experience players waited patiently for. But eventually it becomes a Ubisoft-like open world game where the player does 8 of the same thing. Meaning it's a lot of fun, but feels somewhat formulaic and repetitive. Hence when the credits roll, the player is relieved that it is FINALLY OVER.… Expand

    This game is really good.
    Batman Arkham Knight may do a lot of things differently than from the previous entries in the series, but it's still a well made Batman game. The game looks absolutely gorgeous on the PS4, and the detailed open world gives a well-made representation of Gotham. The amount of detail put into it is great, and even gives homage to some other DC superheroes such as    This game is really good.

The game retains what it already has in the Arkham games, but has some smaller improvements on top of some familar gameplay. However the biggest difference being the inclusion of the Batmoblie. This new feature is a hit or miss; it feels great to drive around Gotham and take on enemies with it's battle mode, but there is a lot of high-action combat that mostly takes place in the Batmoblie. Almost no boss battles or important fights take place on foot. There's hardly any boss fights to begin with; it's mostly just you/Batman investigating crime scenes, finding the culprit, and fighting their goons and stopping their plan. It may seem like a big deal, but the gameplay, story, characters, missions and the replay value this game offers make you truly feel like the Dark Knight.

    Batman: Arkham Knight gets an 8/10.    … Expand

    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.
