Batman™: Arkham Knight

This is one of my top three games I've played ever.

A scintillating story with a lot of twists, turns and jump scares.

Gameplay seamlessly transfers from ground to spider-man to flying to Batmobile and everything in between. The transitions between gameplay and cutscene are nearly flawless as well.

Got this on sale for 4$ and it was definitely worth it. Tons to do.

Gotham needs you to play this game.

Crazy game, Definitely up there with arkham city, Get to explore gotham.

This game still holds up to be one of the best games to ever come out. The graphics are astounding, the story is phenomenal, and the combat is top notch! Trying to master your entire gadget set, mastering stealth sections, and riding around in a tank is absolutely amazing. My only draw back is the overuse of the Batmobile in the game, specifically for bosses, can feel a tad bit repetitive. If you're looking to feel the true experience of becoming the Batman, this is a perfect choice for you.

Become vengeance. Elaborate combat. Gadgets galore. Easy modding tools. Infinite sidequests. It's just the bomb.

Best game in the history of gaming , its a masterpiece nothing will ever come close to this,people saying this is the worst arkham game are capping because obviously they haven't played the other 2

One of the best game i played till now and the graphics 💣
Trust me u won't regret it completed the whole game... 🤌

best arkham game and thats saying something absolute peak

i cant lie i quit playing like fortnite and r6 and when i played this game again its made me wanna play these type of games this game is mad fun sometimes you'll never get bored only if u die over and over then it gets boring!!!!!

Great story for the most part, solid gameplay, and strong DLC offering!

Finished all the Arkham games (4/4), the story is overall good, graphics are exceptional. There are some cape bugs so that makes it 9/10 for me. Definitely worth playing

Great narrative, great combat. Batman is badass; overall great game

Best batman game for me, overall 8.5/10. bossfights were bad origins is best in that era. I did like batmobile it was new and fun. Got knightfall ending, the half one, because got no time for bs riddler.

This is a game for all fighting enthusiasts. This game is simply so good, I have replayed it 3 times. The environment is so good. The fighting and countering and fear multi-takedowns are awesome. I do reccomend playing Arkham Asylum first and then Arkham City if you want the full story. But the batmobile is so fun to drive around and there is so much to do. It is a great open world game that is just super fun to play and you WILL play this over and over and wish you forgot the entire game just to play it again. 10/10

Arguably greatest batman game of all time, one of the few games I've reached 100 percent Completion on (PS) still working on Steam

Definitely a must play, the story is 8/10. Graphics, Sound Design, Music, Storytelling is a 10/10. Overall, an 8.5 out of ten, I must deduct points for having to require players to solve all of Riddler's puzzles to get the 'true'
ending...

Hell of a game. Great story, Best gameplay out of all the batman games, and great ending. If im being totally honest it's better than Arkham city because of it's better gameplay and better open world. My complaint with this game is that the Batmobile is a bit overused, it takes over many of the boss battles and puzzles. But the combat with the Batmobile is underrated. Its good for what it is and it deserves less hate. The graphics are ahead of its time, the game is stunning. And this game is only $20 dollars too. I highly recommend this game, especially if you're a Batman/DC fan.

quite possibly the best superhero game ever made, really makes you feel like the bat. combat and stealth is made 10x more challenging than the previous entries. this game's depiction of scarecrow is the most conniving, cunning, and scary version of the character, and john noble's performance makes it a lot better. kevin conroy and mark hamill are obviously amazing as always, but i especially love hamill in this game. the graphics are better than some ue5 games (less bloated too) and the gameplay and sound design are even better. highly recommend.

Very good story (Shoutout to Mr J) and game mechanics, but some side missions might feel repetitive after a while. Recommended !

Overall it was quite fun but the ending left a lot to be desired. I don't want to just randomly roam around the map for hours so I can see the real ending of the game. Really dropped the abll there. Pick it up on sale and it's a good game though. I think they didn't really have the real detective vibes of the original arkham asylum game though.

really wanted to enjoy this, but sadly i couldnt
the controls feel terrible, the side missions aren't that great, the riddles are annoying and tedious, and the AR-Challenges are just buggy as hell

really sad that i didnt enjoy this.
3/10

goated gameplay, cutscenes are overwhelming good and the boss fights are incredible!

It's a nice car combat simulator with steroids... Fun at least

Even after 10 years, it's still better than most recent games and holds a special warm place in my childhood and never regret to play it again

pretty epic, batman punchy punch and you love to play it until you get to riddler for the 100%.

very good game for the year it was released and the story and dlc's are good also. 10/10 game

One of the most exhilarating, engaging and ecstatic superhero games ever made. Much more enjoyable than most other games that have tried to embrace the Superhero persona of a comic-book hero. The dark, menacing gameplay perfectly mimics the gritty, violent atmosphere of Gotham as portrayed in both the comics and the movies. The portrayal of Bruce Wayne, his psychological burden, and his adopted responsibility are all the highlights of what makes the protagonist of this game more than just a Superhero. It's about a Superhero who is human, both inside and out.

peak batman gameplay right here folks - while i'd say the atmosphere and story are weaker than asylum's and city's, the gameplay system from those two entries has been refined to a t in this one. you need to play to understand the fun and satisfaction of the combat, stealth, and batmobile here, so pick - up - the - game.

Is there a lore reason why Batman didn't call the Justice League for help after the Cloudburst was deployed? Is he stupid?

THE definitive Batman game!
If you like Batman and like video games then look no further.

Is there a lore reason game still lags on my computer, is it stupid?

This game sick but sometimes it lacks of clear instruction. been stuck over finding Eve's tree roots and give up to watch yt tutorials, finding a lot of people have the same problem. but overall good game i like the combat. And i came for Jason Todd obv

You don't need me to tell you that this game is a graphical marvel, nearly a decade later.

that's about all it has going for it, though. Weakest story in the Arkham franchise, and a slog to get through. Aside from graphics, this game is mid, at best.
That being said, it was worth getting the REAL ending, and 125%, I guess...

Good story and cast, nice Gotham vibe, varied activities - 8/10

I bought this game in 2020 and I'm still loving this game in 2025. Graphics are amazing! story is dark but intriguing. A few jumpscares here and there but 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

So you tell me the UE3 game can even do the graphics and art style significantly better than many other modern games?

I'm talking about no blurry looking game, very detailed graphic, beautiful looking graphics, completely cool "straight" story telling, famous actors, awesome badass gameplay and very well optimized game even on high graphics with even no DLSS or upscaler.

10/10 game, too bad that even the studio it self had went down horribly

I was a fan of the game a long time ago, but unfortunately my college days we can't afford a desktop. Now I'm working barely have time but still manage to play to my new set-up still makes me smile to play this game.

The narrative is compelling, featuring a rich cast of characters and a storyline that delves deep into Batman's psyche. The game's stunning visuals and atmospheric design further elevate the experience, making Gotham feel alive and dynamic.

This is a great game for all ages, and for the people that follow DC stories

download a daylight mod will better see the details of the game. Best heroitic game. Finally , i hate Riddler !!!

amazing graphics and gameplay, perfect story and lots to do after main story

A game that's 10 years old and still holds up to this day. Despite the slightly overused batmobile mechanics, there is no denying the arkham series is a classic!

Coming back to this game made me realize just how annoying the batmobile sections can be. I also don't remember it being this buggy. Despite those 2 complaints Arkham Knight is still great and has my favorite gameplay out of the arkham series

A good game,I had enjoy the game for a while but gaining all riddler's trophy is so boring

this game defines the legacy of the arkham games, i have played all of the games and i have to tell you , they are perfect and this , this right here is what you call a masterpiece. Kevin Conroy's voice has always been perfect. the character development and story are absolute cinema! (10/10 worth it)

buy it , even if its not on sale its still worth the price you pay , the community is lively , you can download loads of mods for this game that will enhance your experience .

hope this review helps for you to get to know enough about the game to buy it ! (buy all the 4 arkham games though , forget blackgate , its shit. )

The controls are good and it's fun to play, but I personally just wasn't very invested in the story. I would've liked it if more if it went into more detail on things like the villains motives or the side characters thoughts and opinions. That being said I didn't play it for super long at all, and I can't really fault it on anything that isn't personal preference, so I'd recommend it to anyone who likes Batman. I may pick this game up again in the future and give it another go.

amazing game, best stealth, amazing combat with a perfect story only waiting 10 years for the next game now

this game good and good with mod and good but good yes good

This game is so fun, my favorite of the trilogy + origins. You get to drive the Batmobile!!! Driving it is a lot faster and more fun than just gliding. My only complaints are that we don't have a lot of hand-to-hand combat boss fights [Deathstroke in Origins was my favorite, so I wish there were more like it], but I found the rest of the combat fun anyways. The story is pretty average compared to the rest of the Batman: Arkhamverse games, but still interesting enough for me to keep playing.

Overall I highly recommend!! If you play any Batman: Arkham series game, I recommend this one or Arkham Asylum. Arkham Asylum is the first in the series, simpler, and paved the way for the rest of the games, while Arkham Knight is more intuitive and fun, but more overwhelming with the amount of side quests available and builds off the mechanics of the earlier games, so the learning curb is bigger. Anyways, back to looking for the rest of the Riddler Trophies.

I remember when Arkham Knight came out it had some contentious reviews. Some people loved it, some didn't, and even when I saw one of my friends drive around with electrified tank wheels shocking the pants of some unfortunate thugs I decided to be wary of it. But one day I saw I owned all the Arkham games so I decided on one long playthrough, I love the Arkham series and at that point I had not played past Arkham City.

Arkham Origins sucked, that's not the subject of this review but I think Knight really benefits from some context. Asylum was a tight game, way smaller in scope than the other Arkham games but everything felt really good and worked really well together. City was Asylum but bigger, sure there were different gadgets but ultimately it felt the same, perhaps save for some issues with the game choosing which ledge to grapple. In Asylum there was typically one ledge to grapple, in City there were a bunch, but things didn't start to fall apart until Origins. in Origins good luck grappling where you are trying to go, I've had Batman spin 180 degrees to grapple a ledge a block away and behind him rather than the ledge my camera was looking at. It felt like the bigger the Arkham series got the less cohesive everything was, the more the engine started to groan under the weight put on it.

So I had low expectations heading into Knight but when I started playing I didn't feel like I was playing Asylum with too much stuff crammed into it, it felt like a different game. I don't know the details but it feels like the concept was reapproached and the mechanics reworked to fit all this stuff into one package without losing functionality. Whereas I was fighting Origin's truly awful gadget controls in Knight I was popping grapples off like I was back in Asylum. Gone was the sensation of a creaking behemoth of a program struggling to hold itself together.

The gameplay is Arkham Asylum but bigger, if you like what is going on in that game and want more then look no further than Knight and make sure to overlook Origins. The scale of things is bigger and that definitely means some changes to the gameplay, you can't sneak around in vents and knock people out when your enemies are in squads patrolling empty streets. Batman even gets his Batmobile which is really really fun. It never gets old shocking thugs with the Batmobile wheels. Imagine blasting down the road as fast as you can go and then you see a thug right in your path, the moment you close the distance he gets hit by the auto-shock feature which propels him away from you faster than the speed at which you are driving. In real life there is no way he survives that but this is Arkham Knight and the electricity cushions his body so that Batman can still maintain he does not kill. It's beautiful really. There was one time I was tearing through the streets just enjoying driving like a madman and I get to this square and start doing donuts. Some thugs on the side of the road go "oh no! It's Batman!" and they flee down two separate roads and all I can think is "I can totally run over all of them before they despawn" and then I do. No other Arkham game delivers this level of satisfaction.

One more thing to note, while I do like the story in Arkham Knight I do not like how the Joker is still the main bad guy, like the Joker isn't even here and he's still the main villain. How do you make a guy who isn't there the main villain? How do you make four games and give them all the same villain? I'm already fighting the same handful of villains in every Arkham game, can we get somebody new here please?

Arkham Knight is not perfect by any means and there are plenty of valid complaints about it, but personally, it's one of my favourite games of all time. The gameplay has been refined from Arkham City and Origins to near-perfection, and feels so smooth to encounter. Nothing makes Batman feel more badass than taking on an entire private militia within the span of a single night and emerging victorious, checkpoint by checkpoint.

I do think some of the Most Wanted missions could have been handled better ([]Hush gets hyped up as a major villain at the end of his quest in Arkham City, only to lose in this game to a fucking QTE? come on![]), but the two biggest ones are the Batmobile and the Arkham Knight. People don't like the latter for one simple reason: if you're familiar with the Batman comics, you'll figure out the twist from miles away. I won't go any further than that.

As for the Batmobile, the main reason why people (including you, potentially) don't like it is for one simple reason: it's overused. There is a LOT of content that requires the Batmobile, from Riddler's underground racetracks to the onslaught of tank battles and puzzles requiring you to use both. The Batmobile's gameplay is really fun and I think Rocksteady did a really good job of making it feel fun to use, but it can get a little stale at times, especially since most of the boss fights use the Batmobile, which sucks.

Honestly, though, I would say this game is a great finale to the Arkham Trilogy and something you should definitely check out if you've played the previous games.

For some strange reason. I thought this was the 3rd best game in the series. I guess I was confirming to the public opinion, but umm this game is straight fucking cocaine. I mean it's the only game where you can consistently beat up people that have already been beaten. Meaning that when they are on the ground with the yellow stars, you can still beat the shit outta em. Also the gliding is fun! The batmobile does get repetitive, but once the main story is done and you feel like you don't wanna go for 240% or have already done that on another save like me, you can just use the batmobiles that don't have the battlemode. It's fun.
