Huge thanks for the awesome folks at Origin PC for sponsoring our Batman Arkham Knight review!
Batman: Arkham Knight is the most hated entry in the franchise by fans. Each Arkham game brings it's own merit and quirks to the player, and this game was met with some hard fan criticisms. From glitches to debates surrounding the Batmobile these gameplay elements pulled away from the overall narrative to players. Let's dive into the battleground that has become Gotham and see what hindsight has to offer.
Let me know what you think about Batman: Arkham Knight? What is your favorite entry in the Arkham franchise?

Initially, when the game released you could only play as one pre-determined character on each challenge map and didn't have the choice to switch characters. But after backlash from fans, they let you switch characters on every map. So you have the fans to blame for your pain.

Well when it comes down to it, it's both a yes and no, depending on how daunting the game is he might just change the rules to ease himself, after all he is still concerned with his health, and we are too. Aslong as he doesn't hurt himself or the others around him, I think he can continue this job of his. His goal after all is to give us a great story we can somewhat be involved in, and all of us want a happy ending.

If you think about the Bat-Tank in context of a Batman who is slowly being taken over by the Joker, subtly whispering in his ear to be more ostentatious and violent over the years between City and Knight then yeah it makes sense, at least to me. I just wish Rocksteady gaves us a great Deathstroke boss fight instead of a reskin of a tank battle we've already done. That and Riddler in a mech suit is just kinda dumb.

I agree, though the notion of Riddler fighting Batman in a mech fits with how mentally unhinged the former is.

Two flaws in your theory: 1) Batman only started having Joker in his mind in Knight.

He starts using it very close to the beginning of the game and Joker only gets in his mind about an hour or so into the game

It wasn't that he was just loosing control. There was a reason for his increase in violence. He was afraid.

My biggest problem with this game was the lack of solid encounters with Batman's Rogues Gallery. Every game before it had some memorable and incredible fights, including Arkham Origins. But in this one, it was all nearly non-existent, and the boss fight against Deathstroke, one of the best hand to hand combatants in the DC Universe, was relegated to a tank battle. Very disappointing for me, but it still wasn't a horrendous game by any means. Just didn't live up the standards of the previous entries.

Sure a few trophies, for example the one where you have to fly under 3 bridges in one go, the ABC brutality one and sometimes the Batmobile AR challenges were a pain in the ass sometimes, but damn it was also so much fun completing this one. I maybe even go back and recomplete it, been a while since.

First i want to apologize for my English, I´m from Argentina. I'm really glad you enjoyed it, but i wanted to clarify, at least from the perspective of a huge Batman fan. It's not the mechanics of the Batmobile that ruined my experience, it´s the excess of it. It doesn't feel like a Batman game with the Batmobile, it feels like a Batmobile game with Batman. Characters like Riddler or Deathstroke change their entire modus operandi to force the player into the car. It really seems like Batman is a complete incompetent who cannot take two steps without having to get in the Batmobile for some absurd reason. When I thought of a Batman game with the Batmobile I thought of chases, transportation and some puzzles, yes, but not this degree of dependence. Added to that a plot that doesn't make much sense when you think about it, with two lackluster main villains (Scarecrow and Arkham Knight), and it really left me disapointed. And I kid you not, as a kinda completionist myself (not at your level, of course) my favorite part of the game were the challenges, because I got to play as my favorite members of the Batfamily that I think all the Arkham games have underutilized. Sorry for the essay

A couple thoughts, as someone who thought Arkham Knight was only an ok game. The reason people were angry about the cutscene being locked behind completion was the riddler trophy that would get glitches, and couldn't be fixed without restarting the game. The reason people didn't like the bat mobile was because it takes up over half the playtime of the main game. And the reason I didn't much care for the game was the lack of fun bossfights in the main storyline. Seriously, the only one I enjoyed was the helicopter one, because that was before I was burnt out with the batmobile. Should be noted I was going to complete this game, but then the riddler trophy glitch happened, I called bs, then dropped the game after finishing the main story.

A couple thoughts as someone who thinks this game gets way too much hate. Firstly, while the ending is locked behind collectables, it makes sense for the story, no way would Batman "retire" while any supervillain was still around. Secondly, the ending you get without the Knightfall protocol is still a completely viable ending I'd say, the Knightfall one is just a badass tease for 100%ing the game. I don't think locking it behind the trophies was a bad idea. And with the Glitches some get with the Riddler trophies, it sounds like it did you dirty, which is an unfortunate thing absolutely. I didn't have any glitches happen to me personally. And with the Batmobile thing, that's just plain wrong. "ThatBoyAqua" did a video of this game, and after 100%ing it, dlc included, he counted the time he used the Batmobile and it was more like a quarter. Even less if you're talking about the moments you HAVE to be in it. Even then, the Batmobile mechanics work fantastically still, while I admit I prefer Batman's gameplay, the Batmobile makes sense, and still provides a good challenge. My primary flaws are the Arkham Knight being a whack ass character, the lack of good bosses and some underwhelming side-missions. So I agree with you in those aspects. But I think the game provides the most polished gameplay I think I've ever seen in a game, as well as a fantastic representation of an angry, beaten down Batman. The focus on his mental instability is so well done, as is his connection with The Joker.

@@ThelateDomC. you’ve replied to this better than anyone could have and were respectful the whole time, both of great points! (It feels like I’m a teacher right now) As a kid growing up with the Batman Arkham games playing them I’ve never felt like one was really “the worst” there were just some I played more than others. When I was younger I didn’t like Arkham Asylum because it’s scared the shit outta me, which is funny now. I don’t think Arkham Knight OR Arkham Origins should be as disliked as they are. This video out it best because of the expectations fans had and hype there was no way most of us could have gotten the game we were all dreaming of. That being said though, now years later we look back on these games fondly and while we have had troubles with the game/s, we can still enjoy all of the fun it gave us!

Arkham was a neat villain with an identity that you didn't see coming, but season 2 was just so much better and it looked like Telltale was heading into a new, better direction until they went bankrupt and were bought by someone else.

I swore off of Riddler stuff in Arkham City, but I really didn't mind doing all the side missions and the Riddler Challenges this time. I never touched the AR stuff or other challenges though. I played on a PS4 and there was only 1 time I encountered a bug where I fell through the map. That's it. The game is solid, looks great, and upped the game play from the previous games. It was just fun to play and never made me resent getting it. It deserves a lot more respect than it gets.

Arkham Knight has the best story in the series. My favourite thing about Batman is how he is always presented with temptations to give in to an easy immoral choice but through incredible mental strength and perseverance, he pulls through always. All the time. This is done in previous Batman games too but it's one of the central themes in Knight. The joker, in this game and within this universe from Batman's perspective, is characterized as this mercilessly terrifyingly sadistic and relentlessly force of evil that defies morals. And given what Joker's done to Batman in the Arkham verse and pretty much any other media, it's easy to believe given the uncompromising lengths of evil to get what he wants is a good representation of what Batman fears most. This image of Joker, Batman's polar opposite, who's killed and terrorised his closest allies and friends is constantly espousing ideas of what Batman should and shouldn't do. It's contextualised by the brilliant use of the plot device of the fear toxin having an extended effect. By this way, Rocksteady gave players a window into Batman's mind and what he is thinking about any given point in story. We know all the time what Batman's thinking about at any given moment. This level of personal connection with Batman is missing in all previous Arkham games. This is interactive storytelling at its best. We know what's going on inside the hood because his fears are being spoken aloud. This makes Batman incredibly human while still doing justice to his "extraordinary mortal among ordinary mortals" side of the character. It's in Batman's nature to be stoic brooding and refusing to give in to the immoral temptations that his villains, particularly the Joker, always confront him with. It's a story of overcoming fears with a great deal of perseverance and self control while being surrounded by situations that cause self-doubt. That makes Batman the hero he is and the story of Arkham Knight does that beautifully. I am surprised and flabbergasted by how well Rocksteady knows Batman that they were able to weave a story about Batman's perseverance and self-doubt. The story of good in people and in Batman and his strength required to outlast the forces of inward evils. Joker was Batman's fear and Scarecrow was the catalyst of that fear. I am surprised by how they managed to create a stoic but an emotional character in Batman better than previous games.

Arkham Knight turns into a fast paced, well scripted and executed action adventure with just the right RPG elements to make you want to keep moving forward. The game does an awesome job of making you feel like Batman, while also reminding you just how vulnerable Batman is in a head on battle. As I progressed through the game and upgraded Batman’s skills and gadgets, I approached every encounter with a group of thugs as almost a chess game. I scoped out the area first for any environmental takedowns, who was carrying a gun or stun baton, how many bigger guys there were, who I was going to attack first. I planned out my attacks and relished the flow of those actions unfolding. There is a reason this combat system has been copied again and again and Rocksteady has really polished what they have developed over 2 other games. I love how simplistic the system is, while also having this huge deep side to it if you choose to go that route. I didn't pay much attention to the combat system as I was distracted by another system that I feel is almost a whole other half of this game.

This game is the "what could have been" disappointing thanks to the change in writers. The writer from the first two games never came back for the third. Shoved in was the batmobile instead of splitting it's game time with the Batplane. The game could have had co-op and couch co-op, but nope just play by yourself and switch characters on the fly sometimes. The loss of the one of the original writers *Paul Dini* is the beginning and end to this game with new work consisting of the Riddler making race tracks for Batman??? It's a shame considering this game had to follow two game of the year winners. This is *NOT* how you end a trilogy.

Actually, only two writers didn't return, and that was Paul Dini and Paul Crocker. Sefton Hill, who co-wrote Arkham City with Paul Dini and Paul Crocker, came back to pen the script for Arkham Knight. Ian Ball also makes a return, writing/designing the side quests, once again. Not to mitigate Paul Dini's work with the Arkham series, but Paul Crocker is the person to also thank for Arkham Asylum and Arkham City's wonderful dialouge, since he wrote most of it; Paul Dini even said as much, when reflecting on his work with Rocksteady Studios and their Batman games. In essence, two writers jumped off, while the other two decided to stay on. Not that big of a deal. Direction didn't change either, since Sefton Hill was the writer and director for all three Arkham games. Overall, Arkham Knight's main story received a lot of love and attention from it's writers. I thought the pacing and plot points in Arkham Knight were good, not perfect, but certainly better than City, in some regard. The second act of Arkham City was a black hole that deliberately sucked up the player's time to lengthen the overall campaign; thus, it ruined the pacing of the story, by quite a sizable margin. Arkham Knight didn't have any real problems with pacing, everything flowed nicely, but, that's not to say Arkham knight has a perfect story, either. No, far from it. I think the only Arkham game that had a perfect story was Arkham Asylum, it was much more narratively focused and had a neat premise to boot. Each Arkham has their own set of flaws, but each are fantastic in their own regards.

We were promised a climatic finale to the Rocksteady trilogy, but it didn't turn out that way. It's the story and boss battles that hold the game back when they were so well done in Asylum and City. Outside of that, just about everything Knight does in terms of core gameplay is equally strong.

I mean i don't see why thats a negative, people fucking praise games with secret true endings for completing them all the time, so what's different here? And if it truly is the riddler stuff well... fucking don't let enigma win by proving he's smarter then you. It's in character for him to do this, do you think batman would just ignore nigma his entire career just because he can't be fucked to solve his puzzles? It's a batman simulator andyou gotta realize even then you're only solving these once, batman does this pretty much weekly. Even then, the riddler is a really interesting villain and deserves to be recognized so just not making him important would be a massive fucking disservice to his character. And on the topic of the batmobile, fucking try playing gta without cars or spiderman without webs. It's batmans main gadget and his main utility for getting around gotham. Plus as Jerard said, the batmobile just debuted so ofc its not gonna be as refined. Tl;dr, batman is the worlds greatest detective and the riddlers only mental adversary. To play as the batman, you must think like the batman and fight hus enemy's like he would. That includes the riddler.

ive played and "beat" the game 4 times now, and every time i told myself "im gonna do ALL the riddler trophies this time" and i never do. it really is a slog. if i miss one in a building somewhere, im pretty much guaranteed to never get it. Or one trophy in some puzzle-vent in a specific area of a certain airship...like, ughhhh.

26:11 I like that completing the main campaign is essential to the Knightfall protocol considering everyone knows who he is now (except Nigma who outright denies it). it’s the perfect ending to the Arkham legacy.

It doesn't feel awful holding a shoulder button to enter Battle Mode. As a matter of fact, its much more effective to use when in tricky situations like the Cloudburst battle to know for how long and faster it feels to transition between modes.

The car was fine, but it overstayed its welcome to the point it became frustrating. And having Deathstroke as the final boss only using the tank was just foolish. And then you have to ask yourself: What has a race to do with a riddle? I dont mind racing with the car, but calling it a riddle, thats a stretch. Another problem with the game is that there were just too many riddles and too stupid reason to get them all, i mean if Nygma wishes to hide himself in a cramped place, go ahead be my guest, at least i know where he will be. But with all the other Arkham games not counting Origins, it was a rewarding feeling to get him behind bars, in this game Dr. Pyg had that feeling as a minor character while Riddler was more like finally i got that bastard to shut him up, not like i actually stopped a madman

I actually replayed AK a couple weeks ago after being inspired by a retrospective. It was better than I remembered and this time I had the Season Pass content too which was great. It's a solid game, i'm not sure locking the true ending behind the Riddler trophies was anyone's idea of fun though, that was the only thing I didn't do

The secret ending thing is honestly the only criticism i don't understand, like most games with secret "true endings" are usually praised for having that as a reward for completing the campaign why is it a problem with arkham knight specifically? Is it just people hate the riddler that much? He's my favorite villain so idk why the hate for him...

I agree the AR challenges if you want to complete them fully is extremely overwhelming, and non-practical. But I wouldn’t have wanted them to do it any other way. So much additional content, so many different characters to play with. If you play the AR challenges as they’re intended, it’s perfectly done. But yeah 100% is insane. Which is likely why there isn’t any reward for doing so. That would have made players feel like they have to do it, or that they’re supposed to. So it makes it so players don’t feel like they’re missing out by not doing literally everything possible. I think I will be going back to do some more of them though

I’ve been meaning to give this another play through sometime. I wasn’t the biggest fan of it the first time, as the story and Batmobile sections really didn’t work for me, but maybe giving it another try will yield better feelings. No completing for me, though, I’ll leave that to you.

Fun fact, I actually finished 100% of the game recently, last month in fact. I pre-ordered the game. It took a long time to get the race stars. Also fun trivia, the ability to play challenge maps with other characters was a feature added a few months after release as requested by the community. My completionist heart sunk to despair when that happened.

I liked arkham knight overall, it’s just not better than the other ones. The overuse of batmobile in missions was iritating but I kinda get them for that. It was the first time ever we had it and they wanted to maximize the usage of it and they overdid it. Other than that it’s a good game and I enjoyed the story. Oh yeah and fuck riddler and his challenges, didn’t get a 100% because of him
