    I gave this a lower rating after the first hour of play, I felt the beginning was weak, and didn't like the Batmobile very much.

    I think this game is bigger than GTA V, content-wise (around the same as Witcher 3.) There are so much side missions, from rescuing Gotham's firemen to capturing Batman's most iconic villians.

    The Riddler side-missions are unforgiving and they work your brain quite well. The story is great (cannot spoil a great and fabulous story!) Around 7 hours of story missions and gameplay, in fact more for the unexperienced players

    The voice acting is superb, in fact, maybe the best in Rocksteady's trilogy. My favorite is main antagonist Scarecrow, he just sounds EPIC!

    Kudos to Rocksteady for closing the Arkham saga with a bang!    … Expand

    Amazing finale of the Arkham Trilogy By Rocksteady. The Graphics, Gameplay and Soundtrack were all amazing! The only letdowns about the game is that the Batmobile is sometimes forced and the arkham knight reveal could've been done better.

    Is this the best Batman game? Unfortunately, no. Is this game better that some of it's other games. Yes! Most definitely!

Some parts of the game overuse the Batmobile in mission and can kind of get very tedious, but don't get me wrong because the Batmobile is still a very fun tool to use sometimes. The only part in the story that left me disappointed in was the super predictiable twist, I won't spoil anything though. Once you look past those minor things, Arkham Knight is such a fun game to go around and explore in now with it's huge map and with it's breath-taking graphics! The combat is the best combat in an Arkham game yet by bringing in new ways to battle. In conclusion, Batman: Arkham Knight is a great way to end the franchise and beats the god awful Batman: Arkham Orgins and slightly beats Batman: Arkham Aslyum.… Expand

There is no doubt that its well designed but its just too forced. The second big problem I have is the actual story itself. There is no doubt its pretty good as far as twist and turns but the ending(s) were pretty weak in comparison. Seemed like they didn't know how to finish the story then failed at trying 3 times.

    Batman combat was pretty slick. Has almost the Arkham City feel just somehow not as fluid. I cant tell if there are just too many enemy types now or if they intentionally slowed it down. Seems like I was a much better fighter in Arkham City. I completed main story on hard mode in about 14 hours at a casual pace. I will say this game made me jump a couple times which I LOVED.

    It looks really good however the rain definitely looks a bit off. Somehow GTA5 has way better looking rain. I think its the lighting style. Also it doesn't look very real as your driving fast.    … Expand

I was expecting it to take me some time to get through the game but the main story is very short and I finished this game in 3 days which is a little disappointed given all the hype about it. People are complaining about the Batmobile and while yes it is a bit much at times that was this games big selling point, the thing that the developers pushed the most so it would make sense that you would have to use it more in the game, I personally think they should have had it in the game but not made it such a bug part of the gameplay snd story line. I would have loved to go back to the bat cave since that element was introduced in Arkham Origins (yes i know different developers). I was expecting this game to rival Arkham City with its game play, intricate story line, multiple interesting side missions, new gadgets but it fell short of mu expectations, I personally think this game was way to over hyped. I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would and I have enjoyed all of the other games even Origins. One user wrote that is wasn't Batman: Askham Knight it was Batmoble: Arkham Knight which is entirely true. There is so much more I could say but it would border on spoilers and if you love the franchise you should play this game and form your own opinion.… Expand

    Arguably the best Batman game. A lot of improvements on every aspect. Big surprises, technical marvel, well-polished and some great side missions. The batmobile although great is used a bit too much and some boss fights or side missions disappoint. All in all, excellent action adventure and worthy of the epic series.

But why oh WHY did Rocksteady decide that almost every meaningful supervillian encounter will be decided by a flipping tank battle?!
    Arkham Asylam, City (especially) and even Origins proved how creative and exhilarating boss encounters could be, yet it is nigh on no existent. Every time I got my hopes up of a great boss encounter, I was faced with yet ANOTHER, more tedious than the last tank battle...even worse - STEALTH tank battle!
    This gradually ebbed away at the fun in this game for me, leaving me slightly underwhelmed by the experience after loving all the previous games so much. I don't live for just the boss fights, but enjoyed them so much in the last games that I had high expectations that were treacherously dashed.

    The good news is that this is a return to the Arkham universe and gameplay. This game series is one of my favorite series of all time with Arkham Asylum and Arkham City being my favorite games of the last console generation. If you've played those and enjoyed those you'll have a lot of fun with this game. And if you haven't played those two games, then definitely try and play themThe good news is that this is a return to the Arkham universe and gameplay. This game series is one of my favorite series of all time with Arkham Asylum and Arkham City being my favorite games of the last console generation. If you've played those and enjoyed those you'll have a lot of fun with this game. And if you haven't played those two games, then definitely try and play them before you play Arkham Knight or you will have trouble following the story. (Arkham Origins is worth playing as well, but not really necessary for story purposes).

    The gameplay can be divided into three different aspects: combat, predator mode, and Batmobile. Combat and predator mode are what have made this series shine for me and neither of those have changed too much. The big change to combat is the addition of team battles where you are fighting with one either Catwoman, Robin, or Nightwing and can switch back and forth freely between the two. This is a great addition that works especially well with Catwoman since in her battles each character can only affect certain enemies and you need to constantly switch back and forth to be effective. The main problem with the team combat is that it's just not used much and you'll spend most of your time alone with Batman. Hopefully in the future some DLC is released where this is used more.

    Predator mode has remained largely unchanged. You're hiding in the shadows and taking people out one by one while trying to remain undetected. The big change is the Fear multi-takedown ability which allows you to sneak up behind a group of enemies and take out up to three of them at a time. (This can be upgraded to a maximum of five). This may sound like it'd make predator mode too easy, but the predator maps tend to have more people in this series and the ability has to be recharged by performing silent takedowns, so there's still a good bit of challenge to be had.

    The Batmobile is the biggest (and most controversial) addition to this game and this is the main reason I felt like the game doesn't deserve a perfect score. The Batmobile is used for three purposes, races or pursuing villains, head on battles with drones, and stealth battles with Cobra drones. Battling drones is the main thing you'll do in the Batmobile and while it is very fun in short bursts, it's not quite as fun as hand to hand combat and there's not really a whole lot of variety to the fights. The main problem with the Batmobile is there are a lot of these fights, especially if you do the side missions, and they can get tedious. By the end of the game I was glad I didn't have to do any more. Racing and chasing people was fun as well and there was a good amount of these missions so that I didn't find myself getting tired. The biggest problem with that is the controls are set up differently from most racing games and the Batmobile sometimes handles like you're driving on ice, but I got used to both of those fairly quickly. The stealth battles with the Cobra tanks were by far the worst part of using the Batmobile. Cobra tanks are too powerful to take on head on, so you have to try and get behind them and take them out from behind. It's kind of like a predator mode for the Batmobile except there's only one way to take down enemies. It starts off boring and doesn't change much from there. Luckily there's only a handful of these missions throughout the game, even including the side content.

    Two other minor problems I had were the bosses and the challenge maps. Bosses have never been a particularly strong point of this series, but there's always been a couple of boss fights in each game I really enjoyed. I can't quite say the same for this one. None of the boss fights were really that fun or unique and a couple of major bosses were done as stealth tank battles when really the characters in question should have been able to face off with Batman hand to hand and been a threat. The challenge maps were somewhat lacking in this game compared to other entries in the series and there's too much focus on vehicular challenges with well over 50% of them using the Batmobile. And I was also disappointed by the lack of ability to tackle the challenges with other characters. Hopefully more combat and predator maps get added in future DLC and hopefully they allow you to use other characters.

    Overall, this is a fine addition to the Arkham franchise and a nice end to the series. It's not quite as good as Arkham Asylum or Arkham City, but it still kept me glued to the console until I finished.    … Expand

First of all, hiding your "real end" behind total completion is a practice I don't agree with, it just causes players to drag themselves through tasks they may not be interested in to see a few seconds to get "the full story". Besides that, I have never been too much of a fan of the combat and Predator mode, just always felt gimmicky with difficulty increases by throwing a ton more guys at you. This game isn't different from that trend, however if you are a fan of the style, it is refined. As for the world, it looks good and all that jazz, sound is great, but it is a pretty forgettable Gotham in my opinion. You just run from one island to the next hearing the same audio from thugs with not too much really there. As for the story, oh the story.... its clunky, predictable, and very tacky. The end of the game had me happy, pissed, then actually laughing at how bad it was. Arkham Knight's identity is obvious from a MILE away and there is a not too surprising return of a certain villain... But the worst aspect of all is the Batmobile.... An addition that could have brought a breathe of fresh air to a series that I was starting to find quite repetitive, but instead the game had me dreading the idea of ever having to jump into the car. Which they had me do. A lot. This addition isn't showcased and given a great debut, rather its forced down your throat at every turn. Plus the drone combat gets very old, very quickly. Overall I would say to avoid this game altogether unless you are a huge fan of the series.… Expand

    Now I am not going to spoil the ending but I only finished the first tier of ending (there's 3 total). My review is based off that first ending. The story was very intriguing. When I was younger I use to watch the Batman cartoons and even some of those old reruns of the old show (I'm 25 now but I saw those reruns when I was 5 or 6). I even saw and loved the first four batman movies. I love the Dark Knight trilogy. When I was 10 or 11 I loved watching Batman Beyond on cartoon network. Having said all of this I have never been into comics. I feel that the story of this game does Batman justice.

Also, the load times on this game are terrible.

    Batman: Arkham Knight is a game that I wanted to blow me away, did it? not really, it's a same that is rushed, sloppy and overall, an impressive game but a complete mess. The story isn't very impressive, the Arkham Knight is just a ridiculous let down and the ending is just stupid, Scarecrow isn't really used at all and you meet him like twice, I adored the previous three games but thisBatman: Arkham Knight is a game that I wanted to blow me away, did it? not really, it's a same that is rushed, sloppy and overall, an impressive game but a complete mess.

    Best Batman game so far. i can play like a whole day after buying the game. And i even forget to continue to play the witcher 3. LOL

    Can't explain about the graphic, it's awesome in every detail. The storyline is great. the best thing in this new batman game is the BATMOBILE!! it's quite hard in the first time actually. The way we solve The Riddler puzze with batmobile is enjoyable.

    Best Batman game so far. Of course there will be some stuff you've already seen after playing the previous games. But they've added enough new gameplay and little details to keep it super fun to play. Next to that; the story is magnificent, the presentation is awesome. Causing this game to be as immersive as a AAA top-of-the-shelve game should be! Kudo's to Rocksteady for    NO SPOILERS

    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.
