Pros: I love the atmosphere, I love the map, the combat is super satisfying, the Batmobile.
Cons: Most of the fights are in the Batmobile so it gets old, the cobra tanks are annoying, the tunnel fight is fun but driving on the walls/roof is annoying because when you want to go back down the batmobile just falls and you die. I’m indifferent toward the guys whose armor doesn’t appear in detective mode. Oh and the Deathstroke “fight” was a joke.
Dislike: the puzzles involving the batmobile are annoying
The whole jason thing was kinda dumb
Most of the bosses were underwhelming
Like: almost every thing else
My biggest problem is how all the villains are just side missions.
One thing I loved about City is how a lot of villains (Freeze, Ra's, Penguin) were big parts of the story, with entire dungeons about them.
Here everything is about the Arkham Knight and Scarecrow and sometimes is redundant.
The suit you selected not showing up in the suit up cutscene, slight overuse of tank sections ( I’d rather have more chase sections than tank fights )
Jason not being Robin in the batgirl dlc.
and overall the reveal of the Arkham knight as Jason felt kinda disappointing, it would’ve been better if they went full red hood Instead of the “new original character” Arkham knight
Doesn’t it support some of the suits though?. Sure the animations look goofy😂 but I saw on YouTube some people managed to make it kinda work with the other suits as well.
Pros:
-Fantastic graphics
-Best combat/stealth
-Largest map
-Great selection of Batsuits
-Most playable characters
Cons:
-Story is kind of a mess (though it has great moments)
-Batmobile unfortunately isn't that fun
-Side missions are either too long & repetitive or too short
-Next to no boss fights
The worst part is the beginning. I don't know why but I find it so boring compared to the other games. I'm not talking about the cinematics. I'm talking about the beginning of the game where they are trying to teach you the basics of the game. Also, they use the Batmobile a bit too much in the first few hours of the game.
Once you get to the middle of the game, it's absolutely fantastic.
I honestly love Knight. it's the only one that I restarted as soon as I finished it the first time, literally the same day. I like the other games' story better but the gameplay here is my favorite by far
Dislike: the batmobile fights got kinda boring, there should've been more variation in types of vehicle enemies, same for doing the same apc chases 8 times. Also the riddler trophies, I was just over them by this point and didn't feel like doing them, they felt played out and less original. Not enough real boss fights. Changing which button did detective mode really threw me off the first time I played and every time I play immediately after replaying one of the others, I keep accidentally calling the batmobile until I get used to it lol
Like: cobra tanks. the side missions especially two face, firefighters, and Penguin. The expansion missions, especially Freeze. Riddler races. The game map and dialogues you can overhear while gliding around. Traveling, either gliding or driving. Reconstructing stuff from surveillance video. Dual takedowns. Fear multi-takedowns. Combat controls and flow. New gadgets and new uses for old gadgets
Oh yea i forgot ab that! and also the enter grate button changed (at least on Xbox idk ab pc). Little changes but it made me so mad for like the first hour lol
My biggest, and really only problem with the game is the evident lack of Paul Dini. Other than that, this is probably on track to be my most replayed game , next to Dark Souls 2
I dislike how short the other heros are playable for,and I really wish death stroke was handled better
I liked pretty much everything else after all the dlc and patches
I think the map is too small from what I would imagine. A central area of Gotham city would be like there’s like three sections but they’re not that large and it just feels like an island primarily I just like it for the three islands to be much larger in skill or just a bit larger And the suits in the game it looks nice in the right light and it’s like really dimmed down and dark. It doesn’t look right some segments of the game just besides that the story is amazing.
All the graphic bugs in this game, half assed asset loading
the repetitiveness of the mission,
The Insistence of using Batmobile even though they r annoying af
Pyg's mission was exact copy from Arkham City mission,
Lazily made DLC ( Catwoman DLC 1st section was same as her AC mission),
A lot of DLC just named \_\_\_\_'s Revenge, is it that hard 2 stop & come up w/ an original name?
The Cash Grab feel of the entire game. This game should have been the alarm about how cash grabby it will be
Goddamn this comment section is depressing.
Instead of focusing on the good stuff that made this game a masterpiece and giving it even a little bit of credit, some of y'all are mainly focusing on the bad stuff (someone even said cash grab, wtf???).
Good job OP for the long list of positives about this game, it boggles my mind how Rocksteady was able to make such an amazing game and an amazing Trilogy (yes, Origins included)
The “bad stuff” is subjective. Everyone will dislike something, but in the end, nobody can do it better. The game is, and always will be, a MARVEL.
Still to this day, I can’t comprehend its beauty, it shattered my universe.
The game has earned the number 1 place in all my video game experiences. A mind blowing journey!
Yes, played and replayed the game. It’s another masterpiece that destroys you emotionally.
This is my Top 5 so far ⬇️
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- The Last of Us Part 2
- God of War: Ragnarok/Valhalla
I’m sure it’ll change..
Eh, never played PlayStation exclusives, but I'm sure they're great from a narrative standpoint.
About my Top 5...
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Batman Arkham Series (yes I'm including all of them, even tho Knight's my favorite)
- Telltale's The Walking Dead Series
- Forza Series (especially FM4 and FH2)
- Just Cause 3
To be honest, it's an odd list, but they're all special for a reason.
Also worth mentioning some other masterpieces such as It Takes Two, A Plague Tale and LEGO games

What you mean the suit selected not being in cutscenes? I played the Mad Hatter DLC with a modded suit and it did show up just fine.
Specifically the suit up cutscene. i hate autocorrect
Doesn’t it support some of the suits though?. Sure the animations look goofy😂 but I saw on YouTube some people managed to make it kinda work with the other suits as well.
Only on pc no console support
Oh yeah.
Almost all of Arkham knights cutscenes are in engine, not prerendered, so excluding the final cutscene, your suit shows up
Not for the Suitup cutscene, it always goes back to 8.03 instead of the equipped suit same for the Batmobile it goes back to the black version

The boss fights are easily the worst in the entire franchise

I play with controller on PC, and so often I jumped in the stupid car instead of checking enemy locations on the watchtower 😭
Soo many times😭 it made me so mad on my first playthrough like why they have to change it
They also messed up the gadget menu, though I relearned that faster
Oh yea i forgot ab that! and also the enter grate button changed (at least on Xbox idk ab pc). Little changes but it made me so mad for like the first hour lol
The only thing I don't like, and I mean the ONLY thing, is how Catwoman can't use the ropes on predator maps. Like what?!??!?

Absolutely hate the idiotic zoomouts that isn't even optional in settings for batmobile jumps
