If you loved the other ones as I did, then you'll love this one as well. If you're looking for something brand new and different from the other ones, than you'll be disappointed. This is everything that I wanted in the game and more! Also, DLC is NOT how I would describe this game since there are none out there except for the preorder stuff.… Expand

   After three games I wasn't sure Rocksteady was going to be able to keep the magic of the series going for their closing chapter. Luckily I wasAfter three games I wasn't sure Rocksteady was going to be able to keep the magic of the series going for their closing chapter. Luckily I was wrong. They deliver once again thanks to a narrative that pulls no punches, expansions on nearly every aspect of the previous games, and one of the most refined gaming experiences ever created. Some might be turned off by some of the changes to the formula, but it is hard to deny the level of quality this game has. It's one of the best open-world experiences on the market and certainly one of the best superhero games of all time.
   
   Gotham a huge place to explore and villains have taken over every nook and cranny. Plenty of side diversions are available that will hours to your playtime. Completing them all will allow you to see the full ending. An extra incentive for doing it all. It's not like we really needed one though. Hunting down all of those Riddler trophies might be a pain at times, but going out of your way to tackle some of those other objectives is often just as fun as the main quest. They usually lead to exciting encounters with classic Batman villains with confrontations that conclude in ways that are untraditional for the series. Arkham Knight sure isn't afraid to surprise you with something new and unexpected form time to time.
   
   As fun as the side-quests are it can be hard to pull yourself away from the main-quest for too long. That's because the story is so fantastic. It's dark, has some great surprises and twists, and shows that Caped Crusader at his most vulnerable. This is one of the most exciting Batman stories ever told, and it's one that will have you dying to see that next cutscene.
   
   The expected elements of the series are present. The gadgets, the fantastic flow of combat, and others are all back once again. Only they never been smoother. Everything feels incredibly. Rocksteady has polished and refined every aspect of the controls and overall fluidity of the experience. Playing it is as smooth as butter. It might even make the previous games feel clunky in comparison.
   
   One of the new additions comes in the form of some new playable characters who team up with Batman in certain encounters. They don't play any differently, but it's fun to play as a different character for a bit and use those flashy team takedowns. The other new addition is the Batmobile. It's a centerpiece of the gameplay experience. The amount of control you have over it is astounding. A good thing as you will be using it frequently. Vehicular combat is a big part of the game. Plenty of puzzles are tide to the machines many capabilities as well.
   
   Some have complained about how much it is utilized in the game, but I personally can't see why. It's a blast to use and adds some variety to the experience that keeps it from being Arkham City 2.0. I honestly don't think this game would have succeeded as well without it, and to be honest most racing games can't handle cars this well.
   
   Rocksteady concludes their story on a very high note. The gameplay is better than ever and Gotham is filled with things to do. The story dives deep into Batman's psyche and leaves us with plenty of unforgettable moments. Some minor annoyances and a few unfortunate technical issues (it freezes from time to time) are present. However the overall polish the game has makes them almost unnoticeable.
   
   This is one of the most fun gaming experiences I have had in years. It nails just about every aspect one could hope for a game to deliver in. It stands out as one of Batman's shining moments. To top things off it is easily the best looking game I have ever played. It delivers in ever category and I can't recommend it highly enough provided you've played the other games (the story really needs to be seen from the beginning). It's been a while since I have been this amazed by a game.
   
   I give it a near-perfect score of 9.9/10.… Expand

   Good stuff
   - Fun combat: builds on what the other games did and makes it much better - new enemy types, new combos
   - Impressive visuals -Good stuff
   - Fun combat: builds on what the other games did and makes it much better - new enemy types, new combos
   - Impressive visuals
   - Traversal feels fluid and real
   - playing with a sidekick is a nice addition
   - Epic music
   - You feel like Batman
   
   Bad Stuff
   - Story is surprisingly weak: dialogue feels like a comic book at times (not in a good way). story can be predictable due to some writing issues
   - Batmobile is kinda fun at first but gets tiresome. Would have been nice as an optional mode or with more features to prevent it from becoming dull.
   - sometimes feels like story elements have been left out, possibly for future DLC.
   
   Summary
   It's good. The bad stuff I said really didn't detract from the experience that much. Rocksteady's goal was to make you feel like the batman and they did just that. If you're not a huge fan of the series maybe hold out for the GOTY edition. If you love the Arkham series I would recommend picking it up now before anyone spoils the ending for you. Hope this review helped.… Expand

This is a good ending to an amazing trilogy. You play as batman after the scarecrow has released his toxin all over the city. There's a new enemy in Gotham called the Arkham knight and its supposed to be a mystery who it was, but it's pretty obvious. I liked the storey and the graphics are stunning. The combat is improved, and there's also some new types of enemies to face. As always there are plenty of familiar villains too. Now in to the bad
   The only bad experience I have with this game that's worth mentioning is the batman mobile. What was at first the biggest selling point of this game and a cool addition becomes a major flaw. It's overused, which makes the game mundane and repetitive. It could of been implemented way better. Your use the batman mobile in combat more then you use batman. With this major flaw, what could of been a spectacular ending to one of my favorite gaming series becomes just a "good" one.… Expand

Unfortunately, the Bat mobile tank, while great, is extremely overused. This became prevalent after the final encounter with Deathstroke, which was so amazing in Origins, was degraded down to a simple hide-n-seek tank battle.
   
   Other than the overuse of the tank, the story was decent and really made you feel that Batman was fighting to his absolute edge. If you want a good Batman game, with a ton of vehicle combat, then it is definitely worth a few bucks to pickup and play.… Expand
