    "I am Vengeance. I am the Knight. I AM BATMAN!" Are the words you'll repeat to yourself as you play through Rocksteady's Finale to the Batman Arkham Trilogy. 'Be The Batman' is the perfect tagline because that's exactly the experience I had with this masterpiece of a game. Aside from delivering an exquisitely detailed open-world, graphics and gameplay, Arkham Knight tells the most"I am Vengeance. I am the Knight. I AM BATMAN!" Are the words you'll repeat to yourself as you play through Rocksteady's Finale to the Batman Arkham Trilogy. 'Be The Batman' is the perfect tagline because that's exactly the experience I had with this masterpiece of a game. Aside from delivering an exquisitely detailed open-world, graphics and gameplay, Arkham Knight tells the most profound and thought-provoking Batman tale of all time!

    Rocksteady's first Batman game showed they know how to make a great game; transcending the Superhero genre. Arkham City showed they know how to utilise established mechanics and characters e.g The Joker to their highest potential. Arkham Knight shows that these guys COMPLETELY understand Batman as a public figure; a character, a symbol.

    In the end, Batman: Arkham Knight is the perfect Batman story, with complex characters, jaw-dropping twists, exhilarating quests, gargantuan exploration, creatively intricate puzzles, extensive variety and one hell of a soundtrack.

    Wether you saved the Asylum or cleared the City, it's best to be Arkham's Knight himself: Batman.    … Expand

    Simply amazing. Breathtaking visuals, solid combat, great performances, and a gripping tale. Contrary to popular belief, the Batmobile is actually really fun and makes you feel even more like the Bat. There is nothing more exhilarating than diving off a skyscraper straight into the cockpit of the iconic car and saying "I'm Batman.."

    I don't usually like this kind of games, but this one is very catchy. He has a solid story with lots of options of action and the two main villains, makes us forget about how good was Joker. And the batmobile... WOW!

The story is captivating I've already played for four hours, and still really am enjoying it.The open world is huge, about three times the size of city's. It's fun to just run/fly/drive around, you don't even have to fight. The batmobile is a fun way to get around. You destroy all in your path as you drive around the streets of gotham. The one negative about the game is how much the game forces you to use the batmobile, especially the tank mode. Even the most fun of activities gets dull after constant usage. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous which is impressive, as the open world is huge, and there are no loading screens. In conclusion, Arkham knight is the best game in the series, while not perfect, (a ten does not mean perfect.), is the best open world game since Bully.… Expand

    So far the game is absolutely amazing.! The new features work perfect with the arkham gameplay, the batmobile is probably the most fun and addictive vehicle to drive in any video game to date. The story is incredible, with so many epic moments, and the dual gameplay is just perfect. This is the game of the year and one of the best games in history.! Masterpiece.!

    I'm 6 hours in and I'm totally amazed by this game. Such love of details, gameplay brought to perfection, breathtaking visuals and cinema-like presentation . Batmobile is of course a question of taste thematically but I really welcome the gameplay innovation and variation it brings. So far the best current gen game I played next to The Witcher 3.

First off, people have been begging to be able to drive the Batmobile, now you finally get it you whine about it.

    Anyway, Arkham Knight to me has to be the finest entry in the series. The gameplay is what you come to expect from the Arkham games, fast, fluid and action packed, with various side missions to complete and the ability to use the Batmobile in conjunction with puzzles and main objectives makes it feel like an essential part of Batmans tools and not some gimmick! The story isn't as strong as Rocksteadys other outings, but it does the job well of telling a well crafted story. And the graphics is pure eye candy! The moment you "even the odd's" and then the Batmobile makes its first appearance, the detail is amazing and how it can chew through nearly anything is a blast. I would give it an 8 or 9, but because people are being unfair I'm going to give it a 10 to help "even the odds out" (pun intended).    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphically astounding, technically brilliant and compelling in both terms of gameplay and story - this is by far the best game of the Arkham series.

    Gotham looks wonderful. If you go somewhere like Grand Avenue with all the brightly coloured signs, it really shows how good they designed the world - they have the balance right between bright colours and darkness. In comparison with Arkham City, which was - comparatively - quite dull, Arkham Knight's Gotham looks incredible. Not only that, but it's easy to transverse. The new grapple boost allows for higher and faster gliding, so you can always get to your objective quickly. You can also have the Batmobile launch you into the air - again, making travelling across the map a lot easier. With the way that gliding and diving appears visually, it is also a pleasure to transverse.

    The gameplay still follows the same pattern as Arkham Asylum and City, but it has been improved. It feels a lot smoother, for one. It also feels a lot more precise than the other games in the series. There has also been the inclusion of Fear Takedowns, which allow up to five enemies to be taken out in a matter of seconds - as long as you get close enough without them seeing you.
    Some people would say that the Batmobile is "forced" on the player, but I disagree. It has brought something new in terms of gameplay to the series, and that is all. Of course Rocksteady would like to put an emphasis on it - but in all fairness, Batman is facing an army of unmanned tanks. What else do you expect him to do, apart from getting a tank of his own?
    The Batmobile handles well, and driving it is a lot of fun. I have no idea why people complain about it.
    Rocksteady have also incorporated an aspect of Arkham Origins - the crime scene reconstruction - which makes a welcome return. I enjoyed doing that in Origins, and was glad to see that you use it more frequently - and it has been improved, so it is more of a puzzle and less of a "scan the dots".

    Now about the story. One aspect of the series, which was present in Arkham Asylum - but not in City or Origins - was the horror factor. I was glad to see that it was back in Arkham Knight. The game has a good atmosphere, which gets pretty creepy at times. There are also several jump scares in the game, as well as a little comedy in there too. Joker's blood which was injected into Batman in Arkham City causes him to hallucinate the Joker occasionally - and he always has something amusing to say.
    Which brings me on to the next aspect of the story - the psychological factor. Arkham Knight seems to get into the head of Batman more so than the other games, or any of the films - and that's not just because there is part of the story set inside Batman's mind. It deals with the psychology of the Dark Knight which few mediums manage to do well. It also allows you to get to know the Joker's mind a lot better. Arkham Origins did this in a sense, when Joker was talking to Harleen Quinzel - but I have to say, one of my favourite parts of this game was when you get to play as the Joker (in a sense).
    In terms of the main story - after getting mauled by Killer Croc in Arkham Asylum, the Scarecrow has returned to seek revenge on Batman and to transform Gotham into a "city of fear" - with the aid of a masked man who calls himself the Arkham Knight. Although the game itself is as subtle as a tonne of bricks with who the Arkham Knight actually is - it was hardly a surprise, regardless. Only those who have no previous knowledge of the DC Universe would need the assistance of the cutscenes/hallucinations to figure it out. Still, finding out how the Arkham Knight was 'born' was quite enjoyable.
    Even though the main story should be about the Scarecrow and Arkham Knight - you get the sense that the Joker steals the show, and there are no complaints from me about that. Mark Hamill's performance as the legendary villain is, once again, absolutely superb. The best portrayal of the character ever made, in my opinion.

    There is only one last thing to cover. The DLCs. I have and have played all of the DLCs so far, and I have enjoyed all of them. Yes, they may be short - but they only cost a few pounds, so what do you expect? That does not stop them from being enjoyable. Some, including the Harley Quinn story pack, the Red Hood story pack and the Matter of Family DLC add characters that you can use during AR Challenges, which are a lot of fun.
    I have to say, my two favourites are the Harley Quinn story pack and the Matter of Family DLC. The Harley Quinn story pack (for those who don't know) features the poor, lonely, extremely psychotic sidekick trying to free Poison Ivy from prison. Beating the **** out of Nightwing was the highlight.
    Meanwhile, the Matter of Family DLC is about Batgirl and Robin attempting to free Jim Gordon from the clutches of the Joker and Harley Quinn, in an abandoned amusement park.

    This game is worth playing. One of the best games I have played for a while. Very fun    … Expand

    What? Go back and play some 8 and 16 bit Batman for some context. These are the Batman games we DREAMED of back in the day. We've never had a Batman game like this, and especially not a Batmobile like this.

    More of this and more of that are always welcome - but in Knight Batman is facing a militia takeover of Gotham City, and the Batmobile PERFECTLY compliments it in every way imaginable.

I would truthfully give this game a 9/10 as well. First off, let me state that this game is absolutely beautiful, it tells an engaging and harrowing story, and plays incredibly well in both combat and stealth. The negative point that I will give to this otherwise fantastic game is that it takes a little too long to rev up to a consistently varied and dynamic experience. During the first 20 minutes you're engaged in an interesting story but it takes another hour to open up the world in a meaningful way. The initial batmobile combat is not very interesting and felt like a chore and the initial mobs went down without any thought except smash X and Triangle. However, once you start getting into the open world, upgrading your batmobile, this game is fantastic.

    They mix up batmobile gameplay in the same way they do with regular gameplay with stealth missions against superpowered tanks, with a hacking system that allows you to take control of drones, with chase sequences with a particular supervillain, and with some of the most thrilling and entertaining race sequences devised by the riddler. The hand to hand combat quickly ramps up with new threats being constantly introduced and devious combinations of giants, gunmen, stun rod wielders, shield bearers, medics and others. The story itself never lets up with an series of crescendo set pieces that even have minor breaks for you to pursue the secondary criminals.

    All of this doesn't mention the stunning graphics. This is easily one of the best looking games out there right now and with no load times as you zip around from rooftop to rooftop, it's truly a next-gen experience. Overall, this game may come slow out of the gates gameplay wise, it quickly transforms into one of the best games of this generation.    … Expand

All I do all day at work is sit and think about new ways to approach different scenarios and how to tackle the side missions. On a quick side note, I notice a lot of people are referencing the Riddler trophies as being "annoying" or "tedious" and that makes me laugh because they're the same as they've always been.

I think this game is absolutely fantastic. Gotham is stunning, Batman's arsenal of moves is complex enough to not be a button masher but not too complicated to deter a casual gamer, the Batmobile also has a great set of mechanisms (though having to hold down a button to keep it in combat mode is annoying), and the story isn't nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. I don't exactly know what these people expect. I'm not even a superhero fanboy and I know that superhero storylines follow a very simple formula:
    1. City is in a state of calm.
    2. A threat to the city presents itself.
    3. Superhero is called upon to save the city.
    4. City is saved.
    5. Back to normal.

    Without having even played through this entire game, I can tell just by the trophies available for the game that this is more or less how the game functions--like every other superhero storyline in history. Why people want this complicated for the sake of some unseen uniqueness that could very well be a huge disaster is beyond me. Regarding the storyline formula: if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

    A perfect 10 if only for the fact that this is the first superhero game I've ever played that thrilled me immediately and kept me interested for hours on end so far. Not the first I've played, far from it, but we all know most superhero games are terrible even going back to the 8-bit era. My interest in this game has yet to wane. Completely engrossing.    … Expand

    Like a lot of other users, I'm giving this game a 10 to counteract all the ignorant 0 scores on here. There's absolutely NO reason to score this game below an 8 in my opinion, but that's just me. I know that a LOT of people are pissing and moaning about the Batmobile being overly used in the game, but I honestly don't have and issue with it's inclusion.

Can it be frustrating to drive at times, sure, but it's CERTAINLY not enough to warrant giving this game the low scores I've seen popping up on the user AND critic scores recently. Unfortunately, Rocksteady put themselves in a no-win situation: either the Batmobile was going to be used too much or not enough. I say shut up, play the game and enjoy Rocksteady's final entry to the Arkham series,
    I know I am! 9 out of 10 score from me.    … Expand

    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.
