    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

    A fu***** Must Have!

    It's massive with the batmobile. Flying over the city. Playing (of course) in Xbox One version.

    Maybe not the best archenemy, but the game is not just the final 30 minutes. Great story.

    Now this is my favorite game

    It's unfortunate that Batman: Arkham Knight, in spite of all the ideas of the guys from Rocksteady, was not the notorious batmobile at the sales stage, but the terrible optimization of the PC version of the game. Even the most powerful video cards were not able to maintain a stable 60 frames per second, well, we do not need to talk about the weaker hardware.    Now this is my favorite game

    It's unfortunate that Batman: Arkham Knight, in spite of all the ideas of the guys from Rocksteady, was not the notorious batmobile at the sales stage, but the terrible optimization of the PC version of the game. Even the most powerful video cards were not able to maintain a stable 60 frames per second, well, we do not need to talk about the weaker hardware. It even went so far that the publisher was forced to suspend sales of the computer version a couple of days after their launch.

    Now let's move on to the game itself
    As before, we will have to beat criminals and "stealth" most of the game. Only now in Arkham Knight to all this added a Batmobile. And the developers did not lie when they said that they would pay him no less attention than the most famous detective. To begin with, perhaps, is worth it, that in itself this tank on wheels is very steep. Yes, the first appearance of this beast under the loud roar of the motor is almost the coolest scene in the game, which for a long time will sit in the memory of the players. And from the concept of "our batmobile will quickly ride and shoot a lot," the developers and did squeeze out a maximum that no one expected from them. On the road built and some puzzles, and excellent chases, and the battle with some bosses and even a few episodes of stealth, no matter how funny it sounded. Battles with drones are simple and straightforward - you just need to shy away from his projectiles along trajectories that are drawn in advance and shoot back. But the episodes are very small and so dynamic that they do not have time to annoy or annoy. Only a few times a game developers lose their sense of proportion and we are attacked by a sea of ​​enemy equipment. But again, if you do not get distracted by boring side missions, then the batmobile in the game is just as much as it takes to enjoy it. But from the car, as from the means of transportation, the benefits are very doubtful, because it will fly much faster to the destination with the help of a cloak and a hook than to cut across the city street, scouring criminals. Therefore, those game moments, when we need to bring the detainee to the police station, seem to be just completely unnecessary. Of course, sometimes you just want to travel around the city, consider buildings, shops and cafes, ride through puddles and look at the splashes of water. But, dammit, I'll decide when to do this.
    Small sandpit rooms can be traversed in several different ways, because it's not for nothing that Batman is hung with a lot of devices. The most interesting is to collect a bunch of enemies together, and then apply a new skill called Fear Takedown, during which Master Bruce, in a pathos slowdown, can knock out up to five opponents at a time. And you can also attack the villains with their own unmanned aircraft, hacking it at a distance, or spoil the pack of the medic so that when trying to cure his ally, he gets a charge of electricity. Yes, this stele can not be called super complicated, but it should not be underestimated, because the price of error is often very high. And the opponents are not idiots and immediately begin to react to your actions - to install mines and turrets, walk in pairs and look into the ventilation shafts. Such a variety of opportunities and types of enemies bribes, forcing to rejoice in every secret episode.
    As a result. Of course, the game has drawbacks: the open world is filled with routine tasks, and the plot MAY seem to you a simple set of scenes, sometimes funny, and sometimes sad.
    But if you look in general terms, then all these shortcomings fade in the background. You understand that this game drags you on and you are pleased to play it.
    It is not known what the developers will do next, they will not be rocksteady, but so far they have managed to make one of the best games based on comics and the best game about Batman.
    I recommend to buy everything.    … Expand

    Best Arkham game to date. The are a lot of sections where you use the batmobile but I think it's necessary given that the Arkham City formula(Wandering around in cape + beat em up) is stale at this point. Otherwise it would be like Arkham Origins all again. Plus, the batmobile sections are fun and well done

    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.
