    I love everything about fhis game! Yes, even those riddler challenges! Great story, great action, and great Batman feels. I already bought this game twice (physical and digital)!
    As a Batman fan, I love the many skins for the characters and the batmobile. It's extremely fun playing as different versions of Batman, If you're a Batman fan, it would be a crime to not even try this game!    I love everything about fhis game!

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People are incredibly unforgiving to this game. People wanted the Batmobile from the very beginning, and then Rocksteady gives us the Batmobile, everyone is disappointed. If I created a badass war machine I would want to show it off. The claim that it is "Un-Batman" to have a tank is total **** because Batman has a gadget for every situation, and if the city is overun by an army with tanks, you get yourself a goddamn tank!

    The narrative is so brilliant, Scarecrows contant reminder's about fear can get a little annoying, but it was the same in Arkham City with "Protocol 10 will commence in x hours." Having the Joker be part of Batman, and his fear of him is so clever and brilliantly implemented, and linking the disease to a real life disease (Creutzfeldt-jakob disease) adds credince and believablility to the idea of the Joker disease.

    The tank battles are too new to the series to be have so many of them, partly because the predator sections and hand to hand combat have been growing since the beginning of the series. So I can understand peoples aversion to having something pushed into the series so fast. But I still like it.

    All in all get this game. It is a blast and is better than Arkham City in almost every way. Get in PS4 just in case. ;)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, first I will start out saying this is easily my favorite Arkham game, and is actually tied with Zelda Twilight Princess for my favorite game of all time. Don’t listen to the hate this game is extremely well made-it’s basically a Batman simulator. You can fly/drive around a huge Gotham City playground and pretty much do whatever you want. Let me start with the reason most people hate this game - overuse of the Batmobile and the tank battles. Yes there are a lot of them, but they are still pretty fun and engaging and require a lot of skill-I actually enjoyed them. Let me say that people who just like to play the required main story line and that’s it, yes they prob won’t like this game that much. However, Arkham Knight has TONS of awesome side missions that are incorporated well into the main storyline of stopping Scarecrow. It’s almost impossible to play through this game and NOT play the side missions, as they are blended in well with the main storyline. These side missions are not just repetitive fillers to make the game seem longer - they are very fun, challenging, and engaging, and actually have very minimal tank battles, and more on-foot combat.. Some of the great side missions involve stopping Two-Face from robbing banks, destroying Penguins weapons caches, taking down Killer Croc in a downed prison airship (DLC mission), ending Professor Pyg’s reign of serial killings, rescuing a crew of captured firefighters, and teaming up with Catwoman to actually engage in a Sweet boss battle with the Riddler. I like how each side mission focuses on taking down several of the series’ main super villians then hauling them off to GCPD. If you are a completionist type gamer, you will LOVE this gem of a game - the game actually rewards you for 100 percent completion by giving you the actual “good” real ending to the game. You WANT to do all the side missions to make sure Gotham is finally safe. Everything about this game is an improvement from the previous titles - combat, stealth takedowns, weapon upgrades, etc. Also, if you play this game the proper way with all the side missions and such, you will spend about 30 hours playing this game - that’s a lot of content for your buck. There is only one thing I wish they would have done differently, and that is having more on-foot boss battles and less tank boss battles. Also, they really should have had an actual end game boss fight, which they didn’t unfortunately. I have replayed this game many times and I enjoy it just as much the last time as I did the first. I might add that the Arkham episodes that are DLCs are worth getting - you get to play as Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, Catwoman, Red Hood, and even Harley in these short, but very cool episodes that take place before and after the events of the main game. One last thing - the plot of this game is the best yet in the Arkham franchise, as you not only save the city, but prevent Scarecrow’s fear toxin from hitting the entire eastern seaboard. I personally thought the plots of the previous 3 titles were nowhere near as good a plot as Knight. Don’t listen to the hate, this is a great game, very well-made and should be owned by any hardcore Batman fan like myself!… Expand

    Number of playthroughs: 4
    Hand down one of the best games I've ever played. Here is the history I have with the game: When i came out, I didn't have a PS4 so I was forced to play it on my brother's laptop. Since the game requires a high-end system, I had to play it with the lowest settings possible. And it was even fun then.
    Then I got my PS4 and one of the first games I played on it was    Number of playthroughs: 4

    Then I got my PS4 and one of the first games I played on it was Arkham Knight. Boy was it a fun experience. The combat is fun as all hell. The stealth is intriguing (tho I personally don't enjoy stealth very much) A lot of people hate on Arkham Knight for the number of times we need Batmobile for combat and puzzles but I personally loved the Batmobile. I loved Riddler's races, I loved the puzzles, I loved traversing the city using Batmobile. So basically unlike a lot of people, I enjoyed the hell out of Batmobile. The story is great. Although fans felt betrayed by the lie that Rocksteady told about the main antagonist, but I loved the story overall.
    Every good game knows that players must gradually feel empowered and this exactly happened with the Arkham Knight. You constantly feel powerful the more you progress through the story and unlock new abilities. The 3 different parts of the map each have their own personalities and they are beautiful. There are a ton of things to do in the game. Different side quests, challenges, races, etc.
    The only negative thing I can say about the game is that it's too short. For the game that is the final entry in the Rocksteady Arkham series, it should have been longer. WAAAAAY LONGER. But this feeling must probably be related to the fact that I loved the game so much.
    Overall the game was the best game in the series and one of the best games I've ever played in my entire life. Nothing beats being Batman    … 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.
