An ambitious and successful end to Rocksteady's trilogy, with a standard-setting open world you must experience. A superior main story and less Batmobile combat would've made a huge difference.

One of the best open worlds ever created; Freeflow combat and predator sections are better than ever; Tag team attacks are fun while they last; The sidequests involving Batmans villains are mostly excellent

Batmobile combat is a big letdown; Main story is the series weakest

Batman: Arkham Knight is an impressive game on almost every level, with non-stop variety and great action.

Excellent gameplay variety; Strong performances; Detailed open world; Brawls and Predator fights

Tank feels out of place

A confident mixture of familiar gameplay and bold storytelling brings Rocksteady's superhero trilogy to a satisfying, memorable close.

This final adventure sees Batman finally playing on home turf in the expansive Gotham City. A dream come true for gamers, but the Scarecrow wants to make it everyone's worst nightmare.

Fighting; gadgets; gliding and story all nail that Batman feeling; Gotham is incredible to behold; Batmobile can be fun..

...but tank battles wear out their welcome; Some of the tech-science is laughably stupid (even for comics; It's Rocksteady's last Batman game

I have only played about a third of the game but so far I have loved every minute of it. To start with batman feels a bit slow and slightly clunky however after about 5 to 10 minuets in he becomes faster and more fluid.

ITS BATMAN

The added thumb grips

Fantastic speedy delivery!

Simply put, this is STUNNING. It could never have existed on the 360 or PS3. It blows away all the previous games, by adding in an open world that is far bigger than every game combined.

Arkham Knight brings Gotham to life like never before, and takes Batman to seriously dark places

Given the debacle outlined above, this verdict only really applies to the console versions. But rest assured, on PS4 or Xbox One Arkham Knight is consistently excellent. I struggle to think of another action game that has mastered action, puzzling, platforming, adventure, and racing quite so effectively, and presented each element with such an insane degree of polish. Every other contender in the field should gaze on in awe and take note - this is the new gold standard.

Intriguing open world; Stratospheric degrees of polish; Simple yet sophisticated combat; THE BATMOBILE THE BATMOBILE THE BATMOBILE;

Occasionally frustrating quest blocking;
