BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT – Becoming the True Knight of the Night

"I am Vengeance! I am the Night! I am BATMAN!"

Rocksteady ended the Arkham trilogy (excluding Origins) at such a point that, even years later, it still manages to make you say, "How is this a 2015 game?" If you want to feel your cape fluttering in the wind and immerse yourself in Gotham's gloomy yet captivating atmosphere, you're in the right place.

Pros:

Visual Feast: The game's graphics, art design, and rain effects still rival many modern "next-gen" games today. Gotham has never felt so alive and dangerous.

Flawless Combat System (Freeflow): The series' signature combat system reaches its peak in this game. With seamless transitions between combos, new environmentally interactive finishing moves, and gadget usage, you truly feel like the world's best fighter.

Dual Play: In some missions, you can fight side-by-side with Nightwing, Robin, or Catwoman, switching between characters with a single button press to perform amazing finishing moves.

Story and Atmosphere: The scenario is full of horror elements (thanks to Scarecrow) and psychological tension. Joker's role in the story is brilliant.

Gliding Mechanics: Gliding through the city is so fluid that you'll often not want to use fast travel.

Cons:

Batmobile Overdose: While the battles in tank mode are fun at first, they become a bit too much in the later stages of the game. There are moments when you might wonder, "Are we playing Batman or World of Tanks?"

Riddler Puzzles: 243? Really, Edward Nigma? The necessity of collecting them all to see the real ending is a test of patience.

Boss Battles: The epic and creative boss battles of previous games in the series (e.g., Mr. Freeze) have been replaced in this game by more Batmobile/Tank battles.

Technical Condition (2026 Perspective):

The infamous PC optimization issues at launch are now a thing of the past. It runs smoothly on current systems and remains one of the best-looking superhero games.

Conclusion:

Despite its flaws, Batman: Arkham Knight is one of the best superhero games ever made, perhaps even the best. If you set aside the Batmobile and tanking, its storytelling and character development make it a masterpiece.

My Score: 9/10

Note: If you haven't played the entire Arkham series, finish them first, as this game offers a magnificent finale.

Overall a pretty solid ending to the arkham franchise, had a bit more batmobile sections than needed but still didn't take away from the fact that it's a pretty good game.

** spoiler ** each Arkham game will make you feel one aspect of being Batman. Asylum introduces you to being a ninja with impossible gadgets. City introduces you to the gang, friends and family. This one makes you feel rich as Batman. Eventually, you super cool, prototype, one of a kind car gets destroyed, right after you were starting to like it. Thoughts of “oh no, what am I gonna do now without my tank?” flood your head.
SECONDS later, Bruce just orders another one to be delivered by air just like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ burger with fries. Makes you wonder if he built those in different colors to match different outfits. Just because money is no problem and he can. Screw you Bruce, find yourself a normal rich boy hobby, go hug a tree, become a vegan, just stop with the money humiliation, dude.
