    Um ótimo "final" pra franquia Arkham, ele aprimorou tudo que tinha de bom nos jogos anteriores e os gráficos são melhores até que os de Gotham Knights, UM JOGO DE 2022! Acho que a única coisa que me incomodou profundamente foi ter que usar o batmóvel toda hora, isso não era necessário nos últimos jogos, e agora você tem que usar pra tudo!

    A proper ending for one of the best trilogies in gaming history, some innovations on gameplay but nothing that goes out of the Batman formula, except for the batmobile, obviously.

    In terms of plot, this game perfectly completes the trilogy, closing the Batman arch. But as for the game mechanics, the authors did not bring anything interesting, and the missions using the Batmobile are a little annoying. But you still want to play it against the background of the latest games from this studio

    O Batmóvel que tanto era pedido nos outros Arkham, veio em excesso, o que prejudica um pouco a experiência geral. Se não fosse pelo Batmóvel, o jogo seria 10/10, mas ainda assim é o segundo melhor jogo de herói de todos os tempos, atrás apenas do Arkham City.

    Graphics: Awesome at first, in the beginning when the story was being told, i thought this to be pre rendered, but later i got the controlls handed to me. This was a great surprise. Only negative thing is it always rains, and it's always dark. But other than this, slick, smooth, and captures the mood perfectly.

    Sound/voice acting: Both drag you right in the story. It feels like you are the lead character in this new Batman movie. Can't fault it on anything.

    Game play: Smooth, responsive, and the way the game learns you something new while the story progresses is superbly done. The driving in the Batmobile is awesome, and somehow i also love to shoot in tank mode. Can't fault this too, as it is just how i feel it should be.

    Overall: I'm more of a Spiderman fan, but this is a great way showing how a game based on a comic hero can be done. The only reasons i can't score this a perfect 10 is i was a bit disapointed how small the town was after a long playing session, and in what part of the world does it only rains, and never get to see the light of day? I know the rain reflection and raindrops look cool, but this game could have used some difference in the background, it all looks so black and shiny now.

That said I really enjoyed the new extensions to the overall gameplay in keeping with previous versions. I wish there were more combat challenges and fewer batmobile challenges, which make up the majority of the challenge content. The story arc was good and the big reveal is foreshadowed to the point that experienced bat people should be able to deduce who the featured enemy's identity is. The use of the Joker is well done and some of his lines are extremely well written (as well as exceptionally delivered by Luke Skywalker). Also, playing story+ especially playing a DLC skin I experienced quite a few crashes. But overall Batman Arkham Knight is by far the best title for Xbox One since GTA. Must play. I purchased the season pass and am very much looking forward to the DLC. Expand

    Amazing game. Expectations were always going to be above what will be delivered. Having said that, the gameplay represents the best in the industry, the story is good, car play unfortunately over emphasized, taking away from being the Batman.

    Enjoying this one like the others, I'm mixed about driving the bat mobile, although it's very cool, the controls are odd. Graphics looks fairly nice (albeit raining and night time).Fighting appears to be (a lot) easier compared to the others? just mashing X button till everyone is dead.
    However all that said it's pretty engaging and a hell of a lot of fun.

    Worst port from Rocksteady Batman game, seems they optimized the game for PS4 not XO or PC. They are just sellout and huge disappointment this game cant reach 60 FPS. Glad they are loosing the franchise to someone else, this is just a sad port.

    This game is definitely worth having. It is like the last 360 ones I have played. The graphics are obviously much better, and they have added the car. The game mechanics are essentially the same, the fighting moves seem better to me. The story is very similar. It has the same kind of upgrade system as the other games. In fact the game is fantastic.

In fact the game is fantastic.

    Except for the BATMOBILE!!! At first the car is awesome. It is a tank, it handles nice, considering this isn't a driving game. It is all you thought it was in the previews. But then very quickly it appears the design team decided that fans of the Batman series must be fans of all the car games out there. And then the car becomes a horrible 15k ton (or whatever it weighs) weight around your ankle. Whose only mission seems to be to destroy you enjoying this game. Seriously the fist car mission was so stupid, I almost wanted to quit the game. The batmobile was even in the Riddler's puzzles.

    Seriously the car stuff is just suffocating. Then I got pulled back into the story. I haven't finished the game, but it is a great game. I am still playing and enjoying it. Except the game does have this absurd need to tie you to the Batmobile. Honestly, at times you will say, just send the Batmobile. It should of been this awesome addition to the game, that made travel so much more fun and combat more exciting. But in the end it drags the game down so much it is the reason I have to give this game an 8.

    Honestly the car becomes such a crutch, it should of been used as a vehicle for a Batgirl story. After all she is in a wheelchair now and reliance on the car would of made sense in the story. In that case it would of been a award winning story showing her strength of character and indomitable spirit. But in the context of a vehicle for Batman it is receiving way to much story share. At times it will seem like this game should be called the Batmobile verses the Arkham Knight.

    If you've enjoyed any Arkham title, then you will enjoy this game. I see people hating on the graphics, but they are "as advertised" which is amazing. The combat feels familiar with some new wrinkles to freshen it up a bit. Gotham looks better than ever. The chatter you hear from the thugs is satisfyingly entertaining.

Now for the elephant in the room. I would have scored this a 9 or possibly 10 if not for the Batmobile. These segments are not very enjoyable. Handling is way too sloppy arcadey feeling. Most of the time they feel tacked on, but I think they had good intentions as a way to add variety of glide....claw.....claw....glide....fight thugs....repeat. All around good game though.

    OK so this will be a short review.

    Did you like the first two game? do you want the same thing with a bigger better designed city? Do you want stunning graphics and seamless transitions from gameplay to cut scenes? how about no loading screens? What about new gadgets, new upgrades and combat moves and a refined and perfected version of the systems established in the previous games?

    Finally do you want to tear around Gotham in a giant suped up sports car/tank that demolishes pretty much anything in it path?

    If the answer is yes then buy this game! The only things you will have to endure are a slight overuse of the tank mode in the story and the integration of the Batomblie in to Puzzles(which I don’t mind) other then a few issues that are generic game logic not meshing with real logic type things your good to go!

    Make no mistake this isn’t a perfect game but it's damn entertaining and worthy sequel, if you like Batman then why wouldn’t you want to play a game that’s basically Batman: The simulator V 3.0?

The main story was a pleasant experience with the best parts coming from a mental battle within Bruce Wayne himself. Scarecrow provided the generally plan of "destroying Gotham and the batman" with some help from his hired gun, the Arkham Knight. Some major villains were left from the lime light this go round but have a dlc bringing them back into Gotham. Huge highlight was the ending cinematic, which differs if you end at 80% or strive for the 100%.
    Gameplay mechanics feel the same as the previous games mostly introducing a huge metal box, the Batmobile. By the end of the game it sure did feel to overstay its welcome, having to use it in most puzzles or buildings but it wasn't a terrible thing. Its the freaking Batmobile. With the size of the new Gotham it was useful to have for traveling. The developers did a really good job adding in more detective moments through the games compared to previous Arkham games, big props for that.
    While this game was great and I highly enjoyed it, I cant give it a perfect 10 score. I had a issue with the button layout on the Xbox. The command to bring up my gadget selection just felt out of place.
    Movements weren't flushed and smooth. I would try and grapple up to something I'm looking at and fly backwards to a different metal beam. Standing up on small wall and trying to jump down in the subway system caused batman to stutter and not know what to do like a lost puppy.

    Pros:
    +More detective moments
    +Bat-family was at large
    +Harley Quinn's cleavage

    Cons:
    -Riddler trophies lasted forever
    -Finished the game without knowing about the Freeze Blast grenade
    -Did not see Harley Quinn naked

The story, as in the previous games, it was quite well written, kept me on the edge, not knowing what to expect next. The only disappointment would have to be that i reached 71% of the main story in just 2 days without powering through it, completed more than 50% of the side missions. And I wish you could bring your sidekicks to the open world not just the missions.

    This was a solid game. Batmobile was a pretty good addition but over used. I loved playing with it but they force you to use it on way too many missions. It would have been ok if the game was longer and had a few more side missions to do but the way it is it just feels like you are always using the Batmobile.

    Still a damn good batman game overall a bit too small but that's the way it is.

    The graphics are beautiful and well designed. The story was kind of intriguing but didn't keep me on the edge of my seat or really draw me in, until the very end. The fighting in the game was fun but did kind of get repetitive after awhile. The more you progressed the more I had to think about my strategy in taking down my enemies. Your health doesn't advance until after defeating the group of enemies. So it made me want to avoid being hit and brought a tougher element to the game in that aspect. The puzzles in the game weren't all that hard but also not so easy they can't be solved. The Batmobile added a nice element to the game and was required for some missions.

    Now for the bad part of the game. Like I said earlier some of the fighting in the game got repetitive. TAlso to get the full ending of the game you have to complete every mission a complete 100%. That wouldn't be so bad except there are over 200 Riddler Trophies to be discovered. This gets very tedious in the game.

    The DLC's that have been released are fun but very short. I have the played as Red Hood, Harley Quinn and Batgirl mission. Very short but enjoyable.

    Overall this is a must have game that is enjoyable for all to play.

    What start out as frustrating little editions to the combat system, actually end up being the difference between a good combo and a GREAT COMBO.

    I do still think the batmobile is forced upon the player a little too much during the main storyline missions, but the side missions that are specifically designed for batmobile combat are highly enjoyable.

    The team-up combat was also a fine added feature, but there maybe could have been more with some added variety.

    People will get hung up on the whole Arkham Knight issue, but that didn't bother me. Who else could it have been?

    I thought the storyline was excellent, almost as good as City.

    Overall, a good edition (they say conclusion, but we'll see) to a fantastic gaming series.

Disarm a bomb, secure an outpost, disable a watchtower; disarm a bomb, secure an outpost, disable a watchtower; repeat ad nauseam. After 100% completion you’ll feel as tired as Batman himself.
