I'm torn about this game. On the one hand, it's a (mostly) polished experience that's enjoyable and caps off a great series of games started on the 360/PS3. On the other hand, the developers over at Rocksteady have crammed so much "side" quest stuff into the game, it feels aimless.
Many modern games have this issue, particularly ones with open worlds. You're pulled in every direction with missions: stop a crime here, put out a fire there, chase some bad guys in the Batmobile. And oh yeah, if you have a moment, remember there's a bomb about to go off, but not really... we need to give you the choice of what to do in the order you want to do it in, so long as you've "unlocked" the different sections of the map. As "open" as this world is, it's not truly open until about halfway through the "main" story mission.
Characters chatter all the time, and in small doses that's fine, but the game is overwritten to a fault, so much so that conversations often overlap one another. Which either proves how pointless most of it is, or just shows a lack of awareness on the developer's part.
Aside from the occasional hiccup in framerate or action, the game runs really well. There were some major issues with the PS4 version, one that required a day-one patch that was nearly 4GBs, with an additional patch a week later to fix the online leader boards that were working on the first day of release.
Overall, it's a good game that doesn't quite achieve the same highs as its predecessor ARKHAM CITY, and with a $40 season pass on the table, those on the fence may want to wait for the inevitable GOTY edition.

Best game by far in the franchise! Awesome story, beautiful graphics and sound and I cannot put it down. Any fan of the other games of the series should love this game. This game seems huge with so much content and things to do. I can't ever imagine being bored with this game! Must buy IMO!

Runs great with no stuttering or lag (unlike the disastrous PC port...), and it looks incredible! Easily on par, if not better than, Bloodborne. Most of all--IT'S FUN! The Batmobile is more like a Battank, but I definitely do not mind. Excellent voice acting as well! Highly recommend :)

The end of a trilogy that started with Arkham Asylum. Arkham Knight finishes strong and has a satisfying yet bitter sweet ending. Picking up right where Arkham City left off you'll be pushed to the limit by all the villians in the Batman universe. A must play for all Dark Knight fans

As a fan of the first two Arkham games, this one didn't disappoint. It is very similar to the other games, but this time around you get to drive the BAT-MOBILE. You have to use your surroundings in order to accomplish certain tasks and challenges. A must have to complete the series.

Haven't finished all the side missions but finished the main story, and it was great! Having the Batmobile to use made the overall experience that much cooler! And have it assist you on missions and fights was a great ! Recommend this game for any Batman fans of the last two games.

This game looks amazing and continues to have a fluid and robust fighting mechanism. The addition of the Batmobile, while challenging, adds something fresh to the game and really completes the feeling of being Batman. I also appreciate the fast, free shipping that Best

Let me just start off by saying how amazing the graphics on this game is. The story line is great and the gameplay, well, most of it is great. For the most part, the gameplay is great but then there are the Batmobile scenes that you can't get out of, which is extremely annoying. It's almost like a GTA Gotham City style. This game is nothing like Arkham City or Asylum. However I still enjoyed the game nonetheless

Even thought its a medium length game, it has a great story-line and replay factor. Something that's important after an endgame completion. The open world addition really makes the choices in which you progress through this title more interesting! 9 out of 10 on the fun factor!

A Great Finally to the Trilogy

As a fan of the Batman Arkham series since Arkham Asylum, I must say I was very satisfied with how Batman Arkham Knight concluded the trilogy with both gameplay and story. The game offers the same great combat from Arkham City with some new combat moves and enemies to make it feel fresh. The stealth also offers a new variety of moves and gadgets as well as enemies to switch up the usual flow of a stealth encounter from previous Arkham games. The introduction of the Batmobile also helps in adding new gameplay elements to the game. With the Batmobile, one can navigate the city, complete puzzles, engage in tank combat and in pursuits. I did feel like the Batmobile was slightly over-used thought, but most of the gameplay surrounding it I found enjoyable, with the exception of the Batmobile stealth sequences (Yes, there is stealth for the Batmobile too). Overall, I highly enjoyed Batman Arkham Knight and I feel its an excellent game on many levels.

This game is as with previous entries, fantastic when you are being Batman. And pretty awful when forced to use the Batmobile. Double that for anything involving the Batmobile AND the Riddler.
Still worth buying as the Batmobile parts are a minority of the game, but I wish they'd just left them out.

This game was amazing. The gameplay was fun, the missions varied enough to keep it interesting, and the story itself was amazing. I have finished it all outside of all the riddler missions which are just too numerous. The completist in me may eventually knock them all out.

I pre ordered this game months ago, probably the week they said it was coming out, the wait has been tough but now that it's here, it's by far the best batman game released. The graphics look like you're watching a movie and story is awesome! Must have for next gen owners!

This version of the Arkham series has all the elements you love from the earlier games but brought to you in the next gen beauty of the PS4. The overdo the Batmobile integration a bit, but it's easy enough to look past to get to the heart of the game, which is excellent.

Good end to a great trilogy

The opinion on Rocksteady's Arkham trilogy is very divisive. Some prefer the Metroid style of Arkham Asylum, some prefer the openness of Arkham City. Others prefer the changes the Batmobile brought to Arkham Knight.
I fall in the middle category.
Firstly the biggest subject of controversy, the Batmobile. It's there. You use it. A lot. Without it we'd essentially have Arkham City 2.0. I loved Arkham City but I don't want to relive that experience, I want something new and this is exactly what this is.
I love the use of the Batmobile. It's fun. It controls very well and it's used in a lot of unique inventive ways. But then there's also the drone fights. They are repetitive. If there's a reoccurring theme in this game it's repetition. Though only if you choose to do some of the side missions. Drones, bombs, firemen. The story also isn't much better.
That all said. Batman Arkham Knight is a really really good game. All of your gadgets are still there but with noticeable enhancements that greatly improve on gameplay. A certain character I won't reveal is expertly written and essentially makes up for the rest of the story.
The Batmobile is immensely satisfying and despite numerous drone missions is a welcome addition and provides a breath of fresh air. The cast isn't anywhere near as large as previous games but we've already seen all those faces. This game gives you a couple new ones.
Play if you're a fan of Rocksteadys Arkham franchise.

They have done it once again and have made a truly amazing Batman game. This game makes you feel like you are the Caped Crusader himself, fighting to save Gotham. The fighting controls are intuitive and everything feels natural. Any DC comic gamer fan must have!
