What I Loved
Arkham Knight doesn’t just let you play Batman—it makes you feel like him. The combat is smooth, brutal, and so polished it should come with a warning label. One minute you’re silently gliding across Gotham like a gothic ninja, the next you’re dismantling an entire room of thugs who clearly should’ve reconsidered their life choices.
The story is peak Batman: dark, emotional, and full of “oh no… that’s bad” moments. Kevin Conroy’s voice alone deserves five stars. If you’re a DC fan, this game feels like an interactive finale to the best Batman trilogy we never got in theaters.
What Surprised Me (and Occasionally Stressed Me Out)
The Batmobile. Yes, that Batmobile. It’s fun, powerful, and occasionally feels like Batman decided Gotham needed more tank battles. While it’s overused at times, it still delivers that over-the-top, comic-book logic we secretly expect: Of course Batman built a car that can fight an army.
Final Verdict
Arkham Knight is a love letter to Batman fans and a masterclass in superhero game design. It’s brooding, intense, and ridiculously fun. Even when it stumbles, it does so while wearing a cape and staring dramatically into the rain.
9.5/10 — Would absolutely patrol Gotham again… after my knuckles recover.

The graphics,sound,story,characters are all just amazing. What else can one say? Rocksteady has done it again.
You truly feel emeried in the story. The voice of batman (Kevin conroy) is one of the things that makes the game for me. Mission after mission the game only gets better and more intense. You truly feel like the dark knight himself.
Stop reading my review and buy it already!

Improving each game is a Rocksteady requirement. This game has excellent graphics and control except for the batmobile. For such a hightech device it has zero control. Works for battle mode but not driving.
You don't have to have played the other 2 to enjoy this game. Story gives you all you need.
I leave off a star because of DLC. The pricing has gotten out of hand for all games compared to what you get for it.

The team over at Rocksteady has done a great job with this third and final entry into their Arkham trilogy. It is always fun to play as Batman and this time you have the Batmobile at your disposal too while a bunch of Gotham's villains are trying to take you out. If you enjoyed the other two previous titles then you should enjoy this as well.

The Batman Arkham Series is one of the best Action games you can get your hands on, and this title is nothing less of that. The inclusion of the Batmobile while a pain to some, is a great addition to me, i mean what did you expect for the Batmobile? There is alot of content after you beat the story so just beating the story will not mean the end of this game. Without any spoilers i recommend this to anybody lookin for a great action game with lots of content for later. I know i won't be putting this game down anytime soon.

Super cool game...graphics are fantastic! Lots of combo moves and normal move you have to learn and get used to but over time you figure them out and memorize them. Batmobile and fun to cruise...got the add-ons and they are cool to change the car and suits. I put the game on the hardest setting because for $65 I wasn't looking forward to conquering it so soon. Pretty hard though.

Batman: Arkham Knight is a must have for any fan of the prior games for several reasons.
+Single player game is entirely playable offline. Internet broadband only needed for DLC content.
+Large, open world city lets you progress as you wish shortly into the game, choosing missions or secondary goals at will.
+Smooth controls, responsive and effective on foot and in vehicle.
+Batmobile is a worthy new addition to the series and very effective against many enemies and obstacles Batman alone couldn't handle. It acts as a major assistant, showing up when you need its help. Control by remote control or directly as a driver. Tank mode or car mode.
+City is 5+ times larger than Arkham City. 2 sections unlocked shortly after the Ace Factory is dealt with. Night time setting most times.
+Ascend to the highest building to jump off and glide, or assess the city from above.
+Environmental puzzles require cleverness to solve. If an entry is blocked, think of the tools available to help you.
+Challenging fighting game combat with all new moves and abilities.
+Depending on the situation, many playable characters to control.
+Surprise character plays a big part in the story of Batman.
+Robin lends a hand to help out at points in the game, along with other allies.
+Clear out the city of ground tanks to explore on foot more safely, aside from gangs.
+Bat seat from your vehicle launches Batman high into the air for maximum gliding exploration.
+Easy, normal, hard difficulties.
+Mission variety is great. Many different goals to progress through the game at your pace.
+Grappling hook can catapult Batman high into the air when ascending.
+Control layout very similar to prior games. Batmobile may take time to learn the new controls.
+Graphics very detailed as in prior games, and 1080p this time. 49 GB minimum installation. Unreal Engine used for graphics.
+Huge game with lots of unique, fun and challenging missions.
+Nice variety of locations, interiors, underground areas, etc. City blocked off by bridges after story evacuation.
+Fight against famous enemies. Scarecrow, Penguin, Two Face, Riddler, Poison Ivy, and more.
+Lots of classic voice actors return, including Batman's Kevin Conroy.
+PS4 version includes DLC: Scarecrow Nightmare Missions in a nightmare version of the city, and 3000 Batman & '60's Adam West costume.
Only negatives I can think of at the time:
-Early on, the rain doesn't let up, as it constantly pours hours into the game without any sign of slowing down till you advance further.
-Outer city limits in the distance can't be reached, so you'll see basic city background buildings, but it's inaccessible.
-Not all prior areas are present from past games in this expanded city, but that's a minor complaint.
If you enjoyed Arkham Asylum or Arkham City, also from Rocksteady, this Batman is a must buy to complete the trilogy. Awesome game.

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.

I can easily say so far, this is my favorite game of the current console generation. This game looks beautiful, and builds upon the atmosphere of the other arkham games. Gameplay is still as seamless in combat as ever before, and new takedowns are great additions to the stealth gameplay.
The one point of contention in this game seems to be that of the batmobile. Although I enjoyed every moment of racing through Gotham in the batmobile, there are most certainly others who felt it was overused, especially the tank battles. If you are able to overlook this, or enjoy these moments like I did, the game has a lot to offer and is worth playing. With a lengthy main story, and a plethora of side missions, I still can't help but recommend this game, even if the batmobile gameplay bores you to tears.
