    A game that surprised me positively! A very complete and extremely beautiful world (for a 2015 game) with lots of good side quests. A very good and very catchy story, worthy of ending this Arkham trilogy.

    This gets a pass for the combat alone: it feels the best of any of the Arkham games and I still come back to it over and over just to replay the challenges. It's also a really pretty game.

    I do think that much of the criticism of this game has been unfairly harsh, though it is really hard to justify the Batmobile missions, they really are as mind-numbingly terrible as everyone says.    … Expand

    Игра ощущается как фильм, снятый одним кадром. Технически сделана добротно и даже на момент конца 2020 выглядит очень красиво. Большое количество анимаций и полигонов делают своё дело. Отличное завершение серии.

    'Batman: Arkham Knight' was a disappointing entry in the Arkham Series, hampered by its heavy focus on the Batmobile gameplay in missions. The side-missions were short, lacklustre and didn’t pay off to plot points set up in previous games.

DLC wise, most were short as they were around at least 15mins, although the Batgirl dlc was more lengthy and expansive compared to the others. Gameplay wise it’s the same as previous entries, which isn’t a problem as it is more refined and fast. Graphically the game looked amazing and the characters there were featured heavily were interesting and voiced greatly by the actors. Definitely the weakest game in my opinion in the series as I do like 'Batman: Arkham Origins’ (which is considered the least favourable game in the series) more than this game.… Expand

    Arkham Knight ist der nunmehr bereits dritte Teil des immens erfolgreichen Batman Franchises der Rocksteady Studios und will natürlich alles noch größer, besser und fulminanter machen. So bietet Arkham Knight auch die bisher größte Open World der Reihe.

Insbesondere    Arkham Knight ist der nunmehr bereits dritte Teil des immens erfolgreichen Batman Franchises der Rocksteady Studios und will natürlich alles noch größer, besser und fulminanter machen. So bietet Arkham Knight auch die bisher größte Open World der Reihe.

    Auch hinsichtlich des Storytellings, sowie des Charakter- und Questdesigns, hat Rocksteady nochmals deutlich zugelegt. Insbesondere Batmans ständig begleitende Wahnvorstellung des Jokers ist großartig inszeniert, aber auch viele Sidequests um bekannte Untergrundpersönlichkeiten Gothams wissen zu überzeugen. Dass der eigentliche Widersacher des Plots da im Vergleich etwas blass bleibt, kann man so durchaus verschmerzen. Als wirklichen Gegner akzeptieren wir ja sowieso nur den Joker. Der kriegt in Arkham Knight, nach seinem Ableben in Arkham City, absurderweise gar erst seinen besten Auftritt. Sehr geil.

    Weniger verschmerzen lässt sich allerdings die misslungene Umsetzung des Batmobils, und der damit verbundenen nervigen Panzerschlachten, die sich als dröges Ausweichspielchen durch das komplette Game ziehen. Das wirkt nicht nur völlig deplatziert, sondern nimmt leider auch übermäßig viel Raum ein. Schade auch, dass Rocksteady nicht den Schritt gewagt hat, den alle Fans des Franchises eigentlich erwartet hätten, nämlich Arkham auch mit NPCs zu bevölkern. So wirkt es gegen Ende des Spiels gar etwas absurd eine Stadt retten zu wollen, die eigentlich bereits komplett entvölkert ist.

    Trotz vieler großartiger Momente und der gelungenen Inszenierung, gelingt es Rocksteady so am Ende nicht an die hohe Qualität eines Arkham City konsequent anzuknüpfen. Dennoch ist Arkham Knight sicherlich ein gut unterhaltendes Spiel geworden, das jedem Fan der Reihe auch empfohlen sei.    … Expand

И в целом игра мне понравилась настолько, что я получил платину (включая все DLC) и по итогу 100% прохождение в игре оказалось гораздо приятнее, чем в Arkham City, где нужно было на одних и тех же картах проводить около сотни часов для полного прохождения.

    Chiusura perfetta per la saga videoludica sull'uomo pipistrello. Questo titolo è la sublimazione di tutto il percorso intrapreso negli anni da Rocksteady. Ottimo il gameplay, trama avvincente come per i capitoli precedenti e presenza di ulteriori meccaniche di gioco per arricchire ulteriormente l'esperienza (vedi utilizzo della Bat-mobile).

    Dopo Arkham City il migliore della serie, per me sarebbe stato un 9 se fosse stato più contenuto l’uso della Batmobile, che secondo me la si usa in troppe missioni nel gioco, per il resto è una bella storia e un gran gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Following three fantastic games Arkham Knight, is a flawed but very fun game. Arkham Knight to me feels much more like an epilogue rather than a conclusion to the Arkham story arc. With that adjustment in perspective in mind I really enjoyed my time with Arkham Knight.

    My only real grip with Arkham Knight is the Batmobile/city design. It does not feel organic to the environment. At times the city design feels built around the Batmobile rather than the Batmobile just existing on Gotham’s streets. Less is more in this case, just upgrade all your vehicle stats first, cuts down on the frustration. The Arkham series has been consistently one of my favorite gaming series over the past decade and I’m looking forward to spending more time in this world.

    Big Batman game, but my first Batman game.

    Great story, the size of the world felt "just right", and the side quests are very good and worth pursuing as well. The bat mobile is a love hate relationship within this game... sometimes it's fun to zip around the town and smash through everything, or switch to tank mode and blow up some stuff... even the bat mobile puzzles aren't bad.

    The bat mobile is a love hate relationship within this game... sometimes it's fun to zip around the town and smash through everything, or switch to tank mode and blow up some stuff... even the bat mobile puzzles aren't bad. But, there are times where it seems too much emphasis is placed on the vehicle and you want to be running around on foot more... resulting in a -1 for this.

    The combat isn't very good. It entertains the button smashing era of the past... similar to playing Eddie in Tekken, if you know what i mean. Combat isn't hard and it becomes a bit tedious to just knockout everyone, especially towards the end of the game where it is like 1 vs 30... and your are just jumping around, rolling, counter attacking.. endlessly.

    All in all though this game has a great story, amazing graphics, and is ultimately a fun ride. Far from a 10/10 masterpiece as claimed by others.

    I purchased the game on an Xbox sale for $20, and very happy I got this at a discount and do not feel like in 2020 this game is worth full price.

    Good action and a number of fun puzzles and even some good fights. But here are the main problems.

    The story is okay but very predictable. The big reveals were either - yeah, we saw that coming, or ho hum. There are a gazillion times when you have to fight a big crowd of enemies.

But here are the main problems.

    The story is okay but very predictable. The big reveals were either - yeah, we saw that coming, or ho hum.

    There are a gazillion times when you have to fight a big crowd of enemies. It's like an AR battle royal challenge over and over and over and over again. Plus, when an enemy flashes red you're supposed to leave or aim at him and hit him quick with a electric or batarang or grapple. But this probably doesn't work half the time. Sometimes, he will fire the bolt off just to the side of the enemy - why would the program ever even aim there? Fights like that are more designed for side challenges, not constant every mission. And I swear the disruptor doesn't always work, or at least it's unclear when you've disarmed someone. I still take shocks even after disrupting shock stick guys. So what's the point if one of the big thugs can generate electricity with his hands anyway. Batman's reaction time stinks too - sometimes you'll hit counter in time but he's still finishing some other animation and still takes a new hit. The whole fighting thing is a mess of button mashing.

    And, as in other Batman games - he is just so so weak. And that's on normal mode. He needs multiple punches to hurt anybody - the game is constantly reminding you how tough he is or how high-tech his vehicle is but he can't even knock out a random thug in the street shy of 3 punches and a bigger guy over 8 or more. He has just about nothing that can take out multiple enemies at once - which isn't necessarily a bad feature, except that's ALL Batman ever finds himself needing to do and he has no gadget for it. The ice thing doesn't work half the time. You aren't always able to do the dive drop shock. It's just so ridiculous that he would not have some sort of grapple spin move or a stun grenade when he finds himself in a situation like that a hundred times a day. When he sneaks behind one of the "tough" tanks, he has to wait for a lock ring to zoom in on a weak point - this takes forever - so long that much of the time, the tank simply turns around where you are vulnerable but have no choice but to be because otherwise the lock doesn't zoom. Can he not invest in a lock mechanism that works farther than 20 yards? Side characters were boasting how high-tech the batmobile is. When actually in many ways, it's actually quite archaic. At no point do you ever feel very powerful or anything resembling a superhero. It seems any random thug given access to his arsenal would do just as well.

    Then there are the races - these aren't fun. Too many times the race depends on some timing or simply learning the route after getting killed over and over like a 1990 NES game. That's not intuitive. The load times between deaths are way too long to mess around with a learn-the-route-and-die trial. And sometimes the car just spins wildly out of control if you graze some walls, but not others, and it's hard to tell which ones he will bash through and which ones will send him spinning. It's all a recipe for a lot of long sighs while waiting for the death load screen to end over and over.

    There are way too many riddler trophies, some which take a number of minutes to mess with - so they never should have prevented you from fighting riddler based on such a long and tedious task. And some of them you're simply not told what you are supposed to do. Like one I steered a robot to get a riddle for me and he just stood there without picking it up. So I had to look online. Apparently I didn't steer him "close" enough to the riddle even though he was on top of it, so I assumed I did it wrong, but I wouldn't know that because they don't tell you what you are supposed to do - or at least you don't have the option of toggling some sort of "what am I supposed to do button" in such cases - instead of stopping the game and doing a web search. Some of the puzzles are clever and you can figure them out without too much impossibility, as long as you're patient. But requiring hundreds of these to advance in a riddler mission is just ridiculous.

    The stealth mechanic is probably the best part of the game. You actually can combine your fighting with some actual thinking instead of tap, tap, tap X-O-Triangle-X-O-L2 blah blah square blah like a madman. Dividing and conquering the enemy is challenging but not overly difficult (on normal mode). It's not as good as the stealth in Styx or Blacklist, but not bad.

    His arsenal of gadgets to solve puzzles is also fun to cycle through while trying to solve this or that puzzle. Sort of a - which tool will work best to solve this.    … Expand

    IMO this is the best and most complete Arkham game yet, but it lacks some of the charm that games like Asylum & City have due to those games being the start of this "Arkham formula."

    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.
