About Batman: Arkham Knight

Batman: Arkham Knight is an action-adventure game developed by Rocksteady Studios, released in 2015. It is the final installment in the Arkham series. Players control Batman as he faces Scarecrow, who unites Gotham's criminals to destroy the Dark Knight. The mysterious Arkham Knight, a new adversary, aids Scarecrow in his plan.

The game features open-world exploration, stealth, combat, and puzzle-solving. A key addition is the Batmobile, used for traversal and combat. The story explores Batman’s psychological struggles and the collapse of his alliances as Gotham spirals into chaos.

I get why people rank it lower than the other Arkham games, honestly, the driving sections split opinion so much that it drags the whole conversation down…

    I get why people rank it lower than the other Arkham games, honestly, the driving sections split opinion so much that it drags the whole conversation down every time.

    My roommate would watch me grapple across rooftops for hours, never touched the controller himself but always had opinions.

    yleannon

    Genuinely curious, does anyone track how these matchups get picked or is it random pairing every time

  2. SaveRex1999

    honestly this one gets slept on way too much, people always bring up god of war or spiderman like its an automatic loss but the combat here still feels great to me, the batmobile sections annoyed some friends but i never minded them that much

    felipe30

    THIS. People act like the driving ruins everything but the combat alone carries the whole game easily.

    Je l'ai fini juste après une rupture aussi, sauf que moi le batmobile m'a plutôt saoulé pendant des soirées entières...

    Lo jugué el año que me mudé solo, y aún recuerdo esas noches con el mando en la mano.

    LootRex2

    Lo de mudarse solo me recuerda a mi propia etapa (distinta casa, mismo mando) jugándolo entre cajas sin desempacar.

    Pacheco72

    Yo igual lo jugué en una etapa rara de mi vida, tu recuerdo del mando en la mano me suena mucho, seguís jugándolo ahora

  4. NeonRider

    Cada duelo contra Spider-Man o God of War termina igual, y ya ni me sorprende el resultado.

    SilentSniper

    El traje y el combate me devolvieron horas enteras frente a la pantalla, igual que a vos.

    Replying to Paola_1997

    A mí también me sacó un rato (aunque planear encima de esas calles compensaba de sobra) y por eso no lo comparo tan mal con God of War.

    Océane_1987

    Les duels perdus ne disent rien de la maniabilité réelle, et sur ce point le combat rapproché reste précis et lisible, bien mieux exécuté que dans beaucoup de titres du genre à la même époque.

    daniel_launay

    La routine a force de perdre, tout ça pour ça.

    Paola_1997

    A mí el batmóvil me sacó del juego, no al revés.

    IrenePlayer

    Juego poco pero cuando lo hago prefiero el combate cuerpo a cuerpo aquí antes que cualquier duelo con Spider-Man.

  5. ComboLegend

    Encore un duel perdu contre Spider-Man, il doit commencer à connaître le trajet par cœur.

    Gamboa25

    Igual siempre digo lo mismo pero no me cansa repetirlo, este vaivén de derrotas contra los mismos rivales ya forma parte del ranking.
