    Now Batman sits in his Batmobile and is anything but discreet, you are often forced to drive around in tank mode and battle against other combat vehicles.
    They also removed the boss fights, now you throw your enemies in the trunk of the Batmobile and take them to the police station.    … Expand

    Voice acting is on par with previous titles.

    Gameplay wise nothing much has changed. AK more or less does the same as in the previous games adding little new of note. With exception to the Bat mobile which is a nice idea but seems most of the time to be a very forced gameplay mechanic. Gotham this time round feel smaller than before. Predator areas are not as prominent as in previous titles and this time round seems to favour H2H combat and bat mobile combat. A pity as the predator sections of the previous titles were my favourite.

    Story is alright but not on par with previous iterations. However the surprise inclusion of a certain character was very creative and well done (even though one was lead to believe it not possible.)

    Overall:
    Arkham Knight is not the worst but also not the best of the series. It tries a bit too hard to innovate but unfortunately it still feels to much the same. The Bat mobile is just forced too much and the game does lose a bit of the Batman feel to it.    … Expand

    My biggest vice is actually the inclusion of the newest item in the series the batmobile. It's fun, responsive and a welcome change in the game. But Rocksteady went nuts with it, you're forced to use it excessively in puzzles and the story line. Toward the end you just want it to explode, or be stolen, or have an engine malfunction... Anything to stop you from having to use it.

    Other than that minor gripe, the game is very good providing hours of entertainment.    … Expand

    An excellent game, but with one very divisive flaw: The Batmobile.
    Combat: The combat is the main reason the Arkham series' fame. And the combat is the best in any of the Arkham games. With LOADS of moves to unlock, and even more powerful and newer enemy types (Example: The medic can revive downed opponents and electrically charge them for more damage). The combat never gets stale.    An excellent game, but with one very divisive flaw: The Batmobile.

    Batmobile: Now this may be divisive. There is a lot of driving and tank combat in the game, especially in the main story. The batmobile is fun to drive, looks beautiful, and controls like a car in a good racing game. The tank combat is fun, but it gets stale after a while, and it lacks the depth or fluidity of on-foot combat. So, I recommend doing some side quests (which usually involve on-foot combat) in between bouts of Tank combat.
    The City: Gotham is dark, violent, and incredibly gorgeous. The game from a technical standpoint runs like a dream on the PS4, though only 30 fps, its very stable. The graphics are beautiful, especially the textures and water. Exploring the city while gliding feels amazing, and my favourite thing to do in the game.
    Story: Not gonna spoil anything. The story isnt as good as Asylum. We can see Batman get pushed to his moral and Psychological limit. While the main plot itself isn't too complex, the characters, dialogues and screenplay are movie-level. The game is very cinematic.
    There are sidequests involving recurring villains like Penguin, Harvey Dent and Riddler, and also FireFly, which are all a blast to play through.
    The game will last you 15 hours on main story, about 30-35 if you wanna do side quests.
    Ultimately, it dependa on the batmobile tank combat. Check some gameplay footage to see what you feel about it.    … Expand

Many people will complain about it not having Joker as the main villain, but.. Step back and take a look and you will see that he really is one of the main villains. I loved the acting of every character, Scarecrow was amazingly portrayed. and I loved the Arkham Knight story. Wonderful side missions to keep you going, with great character's in them and of course those tricky Riddler Trophies.

I get that this game tried to focus a bit more on the Batmobile and that's fun but now you have to use the Batmobile to get this done or get that done. I mean, timing your roof top jumps in the Batmobile was kinda like the jump the shark moment for me when I realized that Rocksteady was just grasping at straws here.
    So here's the problem I see for the franchise and any potential upcoming games - if we don't, as fans, let the developers know that we demand more from our games, we won't get more. These games are all the same - let's be honest - the combat, the story, the gadgets - it's like a bunch of DLC released as new games.

    Story: The story is the best I have ever seen in a Batman game very strong with great character development the only thing I was disappointed was the very obvious reveal of the Arkham Knight and the ending which it was ok but I wanted something more for the ending of this epic games.The story will take you around 15 hours to complete although I have to say that I really did not like the fact that you have to complete the game at 100% to get the true ending.

    Graphics: The graphics are amazing on of the best looking games out there.

    Notes: The boss fights are **** sometimes you may not ever realize that you are in a boss fight.But I really like the new gadgets and the team combos you can do when you take control of the Nightwing the Robin and The Catwoman. In the end it is not a bad game just it was not what we expected I think that this is the worst Arkham game to date but that does not mean I did not like it or enjoy it this is a good game but I think you should wait for a price drop before you buy it.    … Expand

    I am a huge Batman fan and I loved the very first edition of this series, Arkham Asylum, but this game just did not do it for me. It was a fun diversion but otherwise it suffered from a few key problems that made me want to not even finish the game:

    Tank Wars: The Batmobile was a fun new mechanic that was added to the game but quickly became old and tedious battling other tanks CONSTANTLY. Of the dozens of amazing Batman villians available, I'm flummoxed as to why I spent half of the game battling nameless drones. Who cares? I certainly didn't.

    Riddler Trophies: Even further down the list of things that I did not care about was anything having to do with the Riddler. The Riddler in Arkham Asylum was fun and the riddles were a bit easy to collect and added to the enjoyment. Then in Arkham City, the Riddler was overdone, leaving trophies all over the city in an insanely unrealistic way which made the landscape look silly by having glowing green paint and trophies littered everywhere. This game followed suit and I can say that I in no way derived any enjoyment from the inclusion of Riddler trophies in this game; they're not hard, they're tedious time wasters as Batman trying to save the city from certain death or a gamer trying to experience the story, I couldn't care less about that arc. The fact that I needed to complete these for the full final ending sequence added to my frustration and that's when I decided to not spend another 8 hours on this nonsense and just watch the full ending on Youtube.

    Not enough challenge maps / Microtransaction: One of the things that added a few dozen more hours to my enjoyment in Arkham Asylum was the extra challenge maps. I forget how many maps there were, but it certainly felt more than 4, which is all we get in Arkham Knight...oh unless we pay extra for them with DLC. I'd of course be apt to do this if the original game was satisfying enough but it feels like this was something they removed to make more money and I don't feel like supporting that.

    Not enough Batman: As I mentioned with my frustration in the Tank Wars, this game is filled with endless nameless thugs and drones. Bad guys I don't really care about and whom don't really challenge me as a player or Batman as a hero. There is so much rich history and lore to dive into with Batman and I feel like we're getting a rehash of sidequest from Arkham Asylum as the main story here. I didn't really get to know more about Batman, Gotham, or it's heroes and rogues galleries and the end result was "Meh." An ok, somewhat fun distraction but not a game that really satisfied.    … Expand

    7.Amazing open world with lots of things to do like playing around with Photo Mode,collecting riddler trophies is actually fun this time,riddles to solve,stunts to perform, easter eggs to find, taking down vehicles and riddler informants etc.

    Cons:
    1.Bad bossfights.There are some decent ones like Pyg's, Riddler's bossfight and maybe the stealth battle with Arkham knight, but the rest are just batmobile oriented and are kind of frustrating. But I got to say the excavator mission was intense. Also wish there were more one on one boss fights especially deathstrokes.Hopefully Season of Infamy will rectify that.

    2.Overuse of the Batmobile and tank fights: While the tank fights are fun, as you progress through the game it feels more and more like a chore. Also the batmobile takes almost 50% of the game overall.

    This is a great game - visually and story-wise - but it still has a ton of control/camera issues during the game-play that makes me want to throw my controller through a wall.

    The game is pretty well optimized for PS4, though I do notice frame rate drops at random points in game. ironically it is not during action shots but at random junctions.

    I think the batman mobile addition is a good, but agree with reviews that the game feels like it forces you to use it. Fights that involve that car can be tedious and annoying.

    Getting 100% ending is easy, but very time consuming.

    Riddles are fun but some are incredibly stupid to find.

    Overall, definitely worth a buy now that it is cheaper.    … Expand

    Batman: Arkham Knight is an exquisite video game that is not too short to play because it could be 12-13 hours long for its campaign on the bright side. The new ability of "Fear Takedown" is an impressive gameplay choice against all of the enemies. The open world of Gotham City is filled with wonderful villains and a lot of A.I. thugs that could be confronted in any way.

This video game has magnificent visual effects and graphics that are magnificent, honestly. The side missions completely tie in with this video game's campaign and all of the voice actors perform wonderfully. The "Batman: Arkham Knight" video game has new and slick combat abilities that all of those that buy this video game can use again the enemies. The Batmobile has been long overdue for becoming playable in a "Batman: Arkham" video game in the "Arkham" video game franchise for almost 6-7 years from this year and it is a miracle that it is in this video game right now. This game is one of the most exquisite and best video games of this year. I support this video game because it avoids being repetitive of any of the combat mechanics (such as the electric shock gloves) of the other past "Arkham" video games from before and quite honestly, it is also a real video game treat.… Expand

    The Game itself is not bad, if not for it's awful release state. Warner brothers really dropped a ball with it, and it is such a shame. But there is already enough talk about that out there.

    The plotline is a little bit predictable, albeit still very enjoyable. Sometimes quests break though, if you complete something you shouldn't have right now, you will watch batman have extensive knowledge in some cases, while in related quests he will act completely oblivious to events and facts you found out. But if you accept that, it will be a nice ride. Well, batmobile action is boring. It mostly includes eradicating waves upon waves of same enemies, sometimes new types join in and it gets harder, but it is still repetitive.

    One thing for 100% completionists - riddler quests and collectibles are death. Annoying, annoying, repetitive, annoying.

    As far as combat goes - it's the batman combat. I'd say the standard batman combat.    … Expand

    Played on PS4 with 1080p. I think is one of the best games I've ever had.
    Awesome game at all.
    Batman and batmobile has a impressive synergy and both give to player the opportunity to plunge into the plot. In the end graphic is awesome but plot could be better.

    Wow... Overall praise to the technology, the talent an all the hard work put into making this game.

Works flawlessly. It's something i've always wanted to see since after watching 'The Matrix' for first time. Batmobile worked alright, sometimes downright badass'd, other times the most frustrating part of the game. Blah blah you've heard about it hundreds of times. My main complaint is there's a lil' too much content fluff added, the most mundane of this showing when your'e revisiting old locations solving fairly easy 'riddles' the challenge being in finding where they are and in maintaining the will to finish. Since this is all optional, i won't deduct my score.… Expand

    I have played the excellent Arkham asylum and city, and can safely say that Batman's transition to the next generation feels rather stale and jarring. It feels like more of the same game with beautiful graphics and grander scope, but padded content and uninspired activities.

    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.
