“Developer Rocksteady reinvigorates its Arkham series formula with fresh gameplay features and an expansive open world in Batman: Arkham Knight.”
In the explosive finale to the Arkham series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect.
Republished on Wednesday 28th August 2019: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of September's PlayStation Plus lineup. The original text follows.
Let’s cut to the chase: Batman: Arkham Knight is a great game, but it’s not as good as Rocksteady’s previous two titles. The story attempts interesting things but falls flat, particularly anything to do with the titular Arkham Knight. The gameplay is mostly utterly awesome in combat, stealth, and exploration, with Gotham City a wonderfully detailed and polished playground, and it’s a joy to explore. The Batmobile however makes things ridiculous, bringing a vehicle shooter into a game ...
In the end, Arkham Knight proves to be an excellent new chapter in the Arkham franchise. The story is absolutely fantastic, as is most of the gameplay, just prepare to be inundated with constant tank battles.
Another brilliant entry to the Batman series whose jaw-dropping beauty and solid gameplay is only slightly overshadowed by a story that lacks finality.
Step forward Batman, take a bow, it has been a good run but we all know your adventures were bound to come to an end sometime. Just think, you are going out on a high note that matches the high quality of the rest of your games, so don’t be afraid step into the light and prepare for your final curtain call.
