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.

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 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.

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.

This game is good, but I don't think this was the best the Arkham series had to offer. One of the new features, the Batmobile, had me insanely excited for this game. The moment the Batmobile appeared on screen I must admit I squealed. After that initial excitement it was hard to enjoy the Batmobile the more it was shoved down my throat. Mission after mission I had to use the Batmobile. This cut down the hand to hand combat a bit. This game is void of any real boss battles like the ones you experience in previous games. But of course there were Batmobile vs Tank battles. Also the fact that the true ending of the game is hidden until you collect all of those stupid riddler trophies is kind of annoying. I feel that collectibles are not exciting gameplay-wise. Other than those complaints i found the game to be the same Batman we love. The combat is fluid, fast and fun. The side missions are very intriguing and spread on the map so that you could stumble across them even if you aren't actively looking for it. The main story was dark and suspenseful and the voice actors brought all of the characters to life so well. This game was a blast to play despite some minor grievances, but I don't think it was at it's fullest potential, as far as gameplay is concerned, but it's good on Rocksteady to finish while they were ahead.

Pros:
*The Batmobile: They overused the Batmobile in this game, maybe because it'll be the first AND LAST Arkham game to have it. So, either be happy that your gliding days are over, or cry because there will be parts of the game where you'd rather be able to use the Batmobile instead of going there by yourself to beat up a myriad of thugs while you escape the shield bashing, stun sticks and the eventual turret or drone aiming at you.
*Improved graphics brought by next-gen consoles.
*The new Batsuit: On the PS4 the new Batsuit looks GORGEOUS. Do note, however, that the Batsuit will not look perfect throughout the game. By the end of the game you're going to wish they let you change back to the older model, however, this new Batsuit allows you to do so many new things (that will be added below) that even if you were given this choice, you wouldn't go back to the older one. On your second playthrough (to get the platinum or remaining achievements you WILL need to play New Game +) you can get a version of the suit that does not show damage, ever. You can also use your DLC suits too, and change whenever you want.
*Gadgets have been enhanced on this game, and with the new suit, the Batmobile can launch Batman as if he were a rocket into the air, with the improved grappler, and the "railgun-like Batman eject seat" from the Batmobile, you can glide as fast as ever, sometimes it's even faster than actually driving the rocket-powered Batmobile.
*LOTS of bosses: As always, you can choose who you're going after by solving lots of cases. On your first playthrough, you might want to take them all. First because it'll be easier. Second because the XP system is basically gone, and you get way more upgrade points for your gadgets/batmobile doing these missions than beating up thugs on the streets (which generally won't give you any XP at all, just a health recharge.)
*Original story. I gotta say I'm impressed with Rocksteady for making this game WITHOUT the Joker as the main villain. I just don't agree with who they chose to be the main villain: Scarecrow. I, for one, would rather have the Arkham Knight instead of Scarecrow as the main villain. You might agree with me if you already played the game.
*LOTS LOTS LOTS of plot twists, and some interesting choices to make down the road.
*A big city to explore. Although the game will force you to stay focused on only one part of it for a while. After the boring missions, you're free to roam. However, this is an Arkham game, so all the doors are likely to be closed when you find them for the 1st time.
*Riddles everywhere!
*FEAR Takedowns. If you love bullet-time effects, one-hit takedowns, scared thugs screaming before being knocked out, and an elaborate strategy to group at least 2 guys near one another and on a specific position (usually near the grate you're under, on the other side of a breakable wall or right beneath you when you're on the ceiling) so you can take them down fast, then this is for you.
*Catwoman looks cute, so does Barbara, Harley... (I HAD to add that. Especially for Catwoman. Rawr!)
Cons:
*The game will get old after a while. The good part of the story/game are the Arkham Knight, Scarecrow, and an old friend who pays a visit to Batman every now and then. Other than that, it gets old because you're either on a tank battle with your Batmobile, or you're beating more thugs than the entire Expendables crew could ever fight against (except Chuck Norris, as we all know he can banish evil from the universe with a roundhouse kick)
*There are basically no boss fights in this game. All you do is beat up a bunch of thugs, then beat SOME of the bosses a little, until the fight is over.
*Some AR Challenges are a pain to complete, just because the game wants you to become a god on certain activities. For example, there's an AR challenge where you can't be hit, and the screen is full of ninjas. I get it, it's supposed to be hard, but some are just frustrating.
*Knightmare (the New Game+) difficulty is REALLY difficult when you begin the game. You take double/triple damage, deals half or less damage, and the best feature: You don't get the "cue" of when the enemy will strike or shoot so you can counter/evade, so expect to die. A LOT. Especially on boss battles.
*Unlike Arkham City, there will be a lot of characters around, like Robin, Catwoman and Nightwing. But unlike Arkham City, you cannot play with any of them.
*The ending is lame. I won't spoil it, but you're probably going to hate it too.
*Batwing was inserted on the game, but you can't fly it.
*I wish some parts of the game (with the old friend I mentioned above to prevent spoilers) were different. If I could, I'd make it differently, but Rocksteady can't please everybody, so I have to accept what they did.

If you're a batman fan, or DC fan overall, you will most likely find this game to be a fantastic experience.
Gameplay: The action in this game is even more seemless than the last 3 Arkham games. There are new gadgets at Batman's disposal, and a number of characters you will be able to play as during the story.
Story: The Story in my opinion is one of the best of the series. Great voice acting, jump scares, plot twists, with a dark-ery feel to it.
Bat Mobile Gameplay: Some people like the Bat Mobile gameplay in this. Others don't. I am in between. It is amazing to dive off the roof tops as the Dark Knight straight into your Bat Mobile. It is very fun ejecting Batman from the car anytime, straight up into the sky. But be aware: you'll be using the Bat Mobile for a large part of the Story Missions in this game. Racing/Car Chases/Tank-like battles.
Replay Value: There are 3 endings to the game. One ending requires you to collect ALL Riddler trophies, and complete ALL Most Wanted missions. So if you're into that, it'll be a while before you complete this game fully. If you're just going for the story, it should take around 8-11 hours depending on difficulty and skill.
Conclusion: This game was well worth the money in my opinion. I had a blast playing it. The Dark Story, Humorous moments, Action-Packed Gameplay, and surprises kept me on the edge of my seat. I almost forgot what "Outside" was for a week. And I'm not a huge Batman fan, either.
Cons: Bat Mobile use MIGHT be exhausting to some after using it for at least %50 of Story Missions/ Riddles/ Etc.
