    The best Batman video game to date. Masterpiece of the Dark Knight. Better than Nolan's movies.

    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.

    I finished Batman Arkham Knight last night. From 2015 but I just got around to playing it now, lol. It was good, I liked the Batmobile focus, and the thing with the Joker being part of you.

    Great combat, great story and the level design of some missions were well-designed. Also some of the side-mission arcs were fun as well. The bat-mobile/ tank gameplay was alright at first then got quite tedious. Flying or gliding through the city was quite fun. Scarecrow and the Arkham knight/Jason were decent villains.

    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

    A lot of people forget Arkham Knight is the best of the trilogy gameplay wise. the Tank battles got a little repetitive and wish there were any regular boss battles without the tank but it's still a great game.

    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!

    The last of the series and definitely not the best. This game could be the best but the story is a little annoying and some forced batmobile missions were a little too much. This game definitely need a 4k update with stable fps in the future. All in all its a good game. Long live the Bat!

    Everything with the Bat family, the nuances of Scarecrows goals, and Batman's personal trauma in the game are so well explored, and it all emotionally resonates. i think this is what sets the game apart from the other two. The first two games have great stories that have awesome twists and turns and do amazing villain work, but they never really develop batman and the bat family, but this game does in a really intense way that earns an M rating.

    The gameplay is the peak of the series. The combat, puzzles, and movement feel the best it has felt yet.

    The city of Gotham is beautiful, I have always said that art style is better than graphics and this game has both. I played it for the first time in 2022 (the whole trilogy for that matter in about 2 months). It looks so good on Xbox series consoles. The graphics, art style and atmosphere is so good and immersive. It is always raining in Gotham and that adds so much to the atmosphere. It feels like a old school detective film.

    My biggest complaints with the first two games was how repetitive combat feels, and this game answers that critique with the addition of the Batmobile. I know this is the low point for most people in the game, but I have a different take after playing all three games in a row in 2022. The Batmobile adds much needed gameplay variety. The issue with the Batmobile is not how much it is used in the game, or how much time you spend in it, but the lack of enemy variety for Batmobile combat sequences. It was refreshing after three Arkham games to play so differently in the Batmobile, but this part of the game ran into a familiar problem of poor enemy variety (all three games struggle with this). The Cobra tanks are the absolute worst, are tedious, and annoying. The Batmobile is super fun, but the combat sections get tedious and repetitive because of poor enemy vehicle design and variety. But that does not change the fact that this series needed the change of pace with the batmobile, and that it is fun to be in and drive around.

    Let's talk about the open world. It is amazing, this is Gotham city at its best. It is a beautiful city that I think is just big enough. There is plenty to do in the world, lot's of side content, and really good extra missions and storylines to tackle. What I find most impressive is that the side content is just enough. There aren't 100 different tiny questlines but around 15-20 well made and thought out quests that offer variety.

    This game also has some really good dlc and great double hero combat (Nightwing and Batman fighting together is just too good!).

    Overall this is a fitting end to this amazing trilogy. I think it is the best, I don't get the hate for this game at all. I encourage you to play all of them. This one is currently on Gamepass too which is a hard to beat deal!    … Expand

    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.

    Awesome Game...!! The mind-blowing ending (knightfall protocol) was just out of this Cinematic Universe. I loved the Combat style really much and addition of Jocker is also awesome. Just get tired of Collecting Riddlers Trophies i mean 413 trophies is too much man. The environment in this game is also perfect for the Scene of the game. Must play.

    'Batman: Arkham Knight (2015)' is, as of now, the final main instalment in its series. Although it isn't quite as good as 'Batman: Arkham City (2011)', it ends the story on a solid note and is a fantastic game from the second it begins. Its narrative picks up after the gloomy end of its predecessor, taking things in a somewhat new direction when Scarecrow - one of the highlights of the'Batman: Arkham Knight (2015)' is, as of now, the final main instalment in its series. Although it isn't quite as good as 'Batman: Arkham City (2011)', it ends the story on a solid note and is a fantastic game from the second it begins. Its narrative picks up after the gloomy end of its predecessor, taking things in a somewhat new direction when Scarecrow - one of the highlights of the first game in the series - rolls into Gotham with a plan to bring it to its knees. There are some really interesting characterisations here and the title does quite a bit of exploration when it comes to Batman's innermost fears and anxieties. Of course, it also has a couple of less successful moments. However, the overall thing is compelling and entertaining right the way through. The gameplay is probably the most refined it has ever been, tightening up series-staple mechanics while introducing several new gadgets and abilities. The combat is as deep and fluid as you'd expect, while the predator encounters are as challenging and suspenseful as ever. It's all really exciting and often contextualised within its wider world. That's because this time the entire city is explorable, from its highest rooftops to its shabbiest alleys. Soaring over the rain-soaked city as searchlights blaze their circles into the sky is simply stunning. Beneath its grimy aesthetic, the game really is gorgeous; the jump in generation between this title and the last is evident. The thing's most major new mechanic is the Batmobile, which has proven controversial among fans. Personally, I think it's a great addition. The car mode provokes an intense feeling of speed and the tank mode satisfyingly allows you to deal out some heavy damage. Perhaps it is leaned on a little too heavily in some scripted segments and in some of the Riddler's puzzles, but it's an enjoyable element of the experience that never truly feels cumbersome. Besides, it can launch you into the air, which is indescribably fulfilling. The city itself is peppered with stuff to do, all of which progresses side-plots than can result in you apprehending several well-known villains. This is great because it means that there is no busywork. It really is a treat to see your progress in real time, as Gotham PD fills up with the likes of Two-Face and the Penguin. Of course, there's also the elusive Riddler to contend with. He's put his trophies all over the place yet again and given you another set of lore-based riddles to solve. They're all tied to a series of 'Saw (2004)'-like traps and, this time, the completion of thse bring you one step closer to freeing Catwoman (who has been captured by the rogue and assists you in her own escape). This a great way of making the Riddler stuff seem even more urgent than it has before, as it directly impacts a playable character who is an important part of the series. The game, as a whole, has a strong sense of urgency to it. It supposedly plays out in real time and it pushes the Dark Knight to his limits. It's filled with effective storytelling, engaging characters and exciting gameplay. It's an extremely enjoyable experience. 10/10… Expand

    Fantastic story but it has some flaws. The pacing is very off, it is pretty slow. Another issue is the batmobile combat. While the batmobile is super cool, the combat can get pretty boring.

    I didn't like this one as much as I did like Arkham City. Open world sounds great, its big, lively (with criminals) city is breathtaking to be honest but thats about it. Most of the open world stuff is repetitive and boring. Roaming around in Batmobile is fun but Batmobile missions are atrocious and there were so many of those. Some side quests are much better than main story.

На данный момент (2022 год) игр с подобным уровнем графики было выпущено очень мало, хотя игре уже достаточно много лет.Хорошая игра, но, как по мне, не хватает тех креативных уровней, что были в прошлой части.

    The Batmobile sections are terribly designed, have horrendous checkpoint placement (resulting in your having to redo excessive portions of the game that could easily have been behind a checkpoint)).

    Somehow, monotone side activities are a perfect match for the game’s atmosphere of bad dream you just can’t wake up from. 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.
