Customer Ratings & Reviews

This will be a spoiler free in this review. I like to start off by saying I love the the pervious batman games and finished them both mulitple tomes, so i might be a little more critical on the gameplay aspect of batman Aknight. Now to the review. Let's start with the good, this game is beautiful filled with character and life. This is soo much detail you could play the game for hours and hours and find things you never noticed before. Also on the ps4 the game runs smooth with little to no slowdown. Secondly the combat is great and fun to play if not unrealistic. In this game batman fly across the screen in combat to distances that seem impossible for any human to do but I guess he is batman. Lastly, I really enjoy the way the story is presented. Some might like the story some might not, but the way it is presented and the way side mission so up is much more organic then the pervious games it is without the best part of the game. Now to the bad (or what I personally didn't like) The batmoblie. Period. Full stop. It handles like a big butted beast. The breaks do not stop the car and it always wants to fishtail into everything. You do get used to it like figuring out to switch back and forth between battle mode and drive mode to make sharp turns or reverse quickly but it is still a pain. Also the inclusion of the batmoblie in puzzles is annoying and un-needed, it just slows down the game to a trial and error marathon. I just want to be batman sometimes and the game forces you to be his car. Being forced to be anything in a "open world" game is just not fun and don't get me started on the batmoblie platforming sections. Yeah you read that right the game has car platforming. Overall I really enjoyed this game and if you played the pervious games and don't want the story spoiled I highly recommend it. It is a good game if not a bit frustrating (looking at you batmoblie). But if you play games more for the gameplay I say wait for a price drop or the "complete" edition later this year or early next.

I LOVE batman games. I have all the games that came out except the Lego batman lol But anyways, this game play is really good but the Batmobile is a little hard to handle.

If you love the Arkham series, you'll love this game. It's a fantastic looking game with a huge world and wonderful voice acting - but the Batmobile really doesn't feel like it fits with the world. You're not the dark knight skulking in the shadows, solving crimes, and picking off bad guys one at a time - you're driving around in a tank blowing up other tanks. It suddenly feels way more like the Nolan movies batman than the comics / animated series batman the Arkham series has presented up with so far. That being said, every other aspect of it is so good that I can still highly recommend this game.

I will start off by saying that this game is absolutely gorgeous. It is one of the best looking games I have seen on current consoles (PS4/XboxOne) thus far. The game play is vastly similar to the previous two games, so if you were a fan of those games, you will enjoy this one. For anyone who hasn't played a game from the series yet, the game is an open world adventure where you complete both main story missions, and side story missions to progress through the game. The combat system is largely unchanged from the previous games, but those who haven't played the games before, it places heavy rewards on the proper timing of strikes and counters as you beat up waves of enemies. The combat is one of the most gratifying parts of the game in my opinion, and you really enjoy the challenge of taking on tremendous amounts of enemies at once when you get the hang of the combat system. The batmobile is one of the most notable new additions, and I have seen a lot of reviewers saying that they don't like it. I can understand where they are coming from, but although I don't really think it was a necessary addition to the game, they did at least try to incorporate the new abilities tied to the batmobile into the game in thoughtful ways. Part of the reason that I think the batmobile isn't as enjoyable for some gamers is because using your grappling hook to shoot into the air, and then gliding around the city with your cape is one of the highlights of the game. Overall I certainly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of the series, or enjoys open world games. Rocksteady (the developer) has done a phenomenal job crafting a game that makes you feel like you truly are batman. Between the combat, the super-cool detective mode to look for clues, and all of the gadgets at your disposal, you really don't ever get the feeling that there is something missing from the experience.

Overall, this is a satisfying end to Rocksteady's Batman Arkham games. The combat is fun, as usual, the graphics are great, and the story is on point. If you liked the previous Arkham games, then you will like this one as well. However, I do have one huge complaint about the game. The biggest offender is the batmobile, which I feel was shoved down our throats. I was getting ready for an epic boss fight, only to find out it was just another batmobile tank battle. It was quite disappointing. For that reason, I have to give the game a 4/5 instead of a 5/5.

Although not the best in the series, it is still an amazing game and a must play for any fans of the Arkham series. The batmobile game play is really cool but at times troublesome since it's forced on you. The lack of boss fights also held it back from being the best game in the series. But the story and overall game play is still some of the best out there. Highly recommend it!

I've played 2 other Arkham games, Arkham Asylum and Arkham City both on PS3. I'm ignoring Arkham Origins since a different studio worked on the title and it doesn't fit nicely into the trilogy. I can say this game took everything good from before and expanded upon it. The voice acting is superb with all my favorites back from the previous games. The city is MASSIVE and a ton of fun to explore either in the batmobile or by gliding from rooftop to rooftop. I can't say much about the story to keep from giving away spoilers but I'll say I've been hooked from the very beginning. For me a good game is all about the single-player story and experience, and this has delivered hours and hours of entertainment. The learning curve is nicely graded with enough challenge that I've had to redo parts in order to move forward, but not so difficult that I've wanted to smash the controller into tiny pieces. The missions are diverse and exciting, and I love the open world feel of Gotham that allows you to progress at your own pace (mostly) and take on the missions you want. It's such an immersive environment I really applaud all of the developers, programmers, artists, designers, etc. who worked so hard on every single detail. I'm about 90% done with the game and I already know I'll be back for more when I've finished it.

the best Batman game in it's serious. the integration between the bat mobile and the fighting style of batman is top notch. The storyline is suspenseful. the side missions are integrated you can alternate main story line and side mission whenever you want. you can challenge your friends.

Like most console gamers, I have greatly enjoyed the "Arkham" Trilogy by Rocksteady Studios, I say that because I did not complete Arkham Origins (Dev by Warner Bros.), however I did beat that now infamouse Deathstrokeboss fight but after that the game felt very recylced and I told my self I would for next-gen Arkham installment by Rocksteady. Just let me say, it was def worth the wait! Arkham Knight is a fitting finale for Rocksteady and I couldnt be happier playing it on the PS4. The game looks polished and plays very smoothly. It is the same Arkham formula however they changed just enough to make it feel like a whole new experience. The inclusion of the Batmobile has generally been positive however there are parts the game where it feels forced, echoed by gamers alike. Also the droid tank battle seem a bit out of place. Nothing feels more satisfying then launching out of the Batmobile, gliding, then entering the Batmobile all in one motion! The game also game with tons of FREE DLC. The Harley Quinn Story, Wayne Tech Upgrades, New 52 Skins, Classic Skins, and the Sony PS4 Exclusive Scarecrow missions. Props to Rocksteady Studios, DC Comics and Warner Bros. for putting out a classic! Get this game now!!!

A must own for all batman fans. Controls are excellent and fluid in combat, predator mode, and batmobile modes. The only possible negative is you may or may not enjoy the tank combat as you are buying a batman game to feel like batman, not play world of tanks. Personally I enjoy it. Great addition to the current gen library

Easily the best story out of all the Batman games, engaging from start to finish. Combat is great as always, world is very lively and the side quests are worth seeing through and completing. Batmobile is not the greatest and you definitely are in it way more than you would expect to be, but upgrading its abilities/armor early makes the overall experience much better.

Graphics, FPS, and no load times during gameplay!! This game has it all good controls, great voice acting, good story, and to top it all off it probably has the best graphics I've ever seen in a game. The detail and smoothness of the game really sets a high bar for other developers. This game is awesome

This was perhaps the best of the recent Batman series games. I particularly enjoyed how the game made me emotional at times for the characters. Being able to travel the large city with the Batmobile is also quite appealing. The only part of the game that I didn't find quite as simple as some of the other games was the riddler trophys and what not, they seemed a tad more difficult so that getting 100% completion to me didn't feel quite as easy. Of course, the game is meant to be challenging so I think that speaks more of my laziness. Still, overall the game quality was fantastic, the fighting and addition of the fear multi takedown was amazing, the increased use of items like the disrupter was certainly welcome, being able to utilize a variety of characters in combat was great, plus solving the mystery of who the arkham knight is was quite exciting. Overall the game is great, and definitely leaves room for some follow up which left me intrigued and excited.

The graphics play well on the PS4 system but the combo sets get very redundant, especially early in the game. The amount of different controller combinations lead to difficulty in operating the character exactly how you want. The lack of clues in missions create difficulty in completing objectives. Batman is famous for his gadgets, but they were never intended to be so difficult to activate.

Arkham Knight is an immense game with lots of things to do. Most of the side quests are rather engaging, though there are a number of simplistic ones that do get repetitive over time. The gameplay is fluid and the fighting mechanics have never felt better. The story gets quite a bit darker in this game than the previous Arkham titles, as befitting what is to be the final chapter in Rocksteady's trilogy of Batman games. Still, there are little touches throughout the game that bring a smile to my face, such as movie posters which refer back to an episode of the Animated Series and even a couple of unexpected jump scares that just keep things interesting. The biggest flaw is, sadly, the Batmobile. While it can be fun driving through Gotham in your super duper tank, it is still faster to travel across town using your grapple and gliding. Additionally, many of the puzzles or missions require the use of the Batmobile, making it feel like the developers are forcing you to use it just so it will feature more prominently rather than it just being another tool in Batman's toolbox. That said, however, Arkham Knight is still an excellent game and one that has kept me up late playing it, just trying to get one more Riddler trophy, rescue one more fireman, do one more mission, hey, how'd it get to be 1 AM?

Arkham Knight provides a great ending to Rocksteady's Arkham series. It builds on the major successes of the previous entries while introducing some exciting new gameplay elements (i.e. Batmobile and Combat Switching). The story maintains the same quality we've come to expect from this developer and allows players to feel right at the center of the action in Gotham.

The 4th installment of the Arkham Batman series does not disappoint. Full of what made the other versions popular plus the added thrill of using the Batmobile - maybe too much though. Story progression depends on you completing missions in the Batmobile and they can get tedious - my advice, power up the Batmobile before powering up your batarang gadgets.

The final game in the Arkham series was the best. Amazing graphics. A storyline worthy of Batman TAS. The Batmobile is a powerful yet maneuverable tank. It's like you get to play the mobile from the Chris Nolan movies. Get this game!!

Arkham knight still uses the same general gameplay as Arkham city and that still feels great. I enjoyed the story and and most side missions. My biggest complaint were the batmobile races and tank mode but they aren't completely terrible. Just could've gone without them. Still highly recommend to batman fans and anyone who liked the previous games.

this game is an exceptional end to the arkham trilogy! ( if you haven't played the other two i highly recommend playing those first) The story and presentation are phenomenal top notch voice acting as well with really fun gameplay
