An uncompromising, visionary conclusion to Rocksteady's Arkham trilogy, Batman: Arkham Knight is the world's greatest detective in the world's greatest superhero game.
The core gameplay of Arkham Knight is nearly flawless, and most players won't even notice my problems with story or dialogue.
Batman: Arkham Knight has been billed as the most complete Batman video game experience in existence, and it lives up to that billing in spades.
So obviously there were a few things that I didn't like about Arkham Knight and some things that I wished were done better, but overall I did enjoy my time with the game.
Batman: Arkham Knight is a very good game, held back from greatness by some odd design decisions.
The results are imperfect, resulting in an Arkham game that's not as good as its predecessors. But it's still plenty of fun...It's absolutely worth making this trip to Gotham. You'll just wish you could do it without the car.
