How does this 2015 game have better graphics than modern titles? Probably the budget from the highest rated superhero game that preceded it. Hot take but Arkham Knight is the best in the franchise and Arkham City is overrated.

If you want to feel exactly like Batman—brooding in the rain, grappling up skyscrapers, and breaking the collarbones of petty criminals in glorious, fluid motion—this game is the absolute pinnacle. Even a decade after its release, Gotham looks so stunning and rain-slicked that it puts most modern releases to shame. The free-flow combat and predator stealth are perfected here, making you feel like a terrifying …

Still Looks Good in 2026 Arkham Knight is a good finale to the Arkham series. The combat, visuals, and the sheer detail of Gotham are amazing, and gliding through the city as Batman feels better than ever. Arkham City is still the best game in the series quite handily, but a lot of the core systems in the series are at their best here. The combat and stealth are the best they've ever been, and I do enjoy riding the …

THE BRUTAL AND GORGEOUS FINALE A visually stunning, dark masterclass in gameplay design that still looks better than most modern titles. The addition of the Batmobile adds a whole new layer of high-octane destruction, and the combat and stealth are at their absolute mechanical peak. A grand, emotional, and brutal conclusion to the legendary trilogy. This is how the Batman died. 9.5/10

96% of the 282 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Batman™: Arkham Knight. The complaint that keeps coming up: tedious mandatory Riddler puzzles for full ending. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Batman: Arkham Knight received "generally favorable" reviews from critics for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game, while the PC version received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator platform Metacritic. It has been cited as one of the greatest games of the 2010s and of all time. Dan Stapleton of IGN rated the game a score of 9.2 out of 10, praising the graphics, gameplay variety, detail of the open world, the voice acting performances (particularly of Kevin Conroy as Batman, John Noble as Scarecrow, and Mark Hamill as Joker) and the overall improvement in the combat and predator systems. He criticized the Batmobile's Battle Mode as "weird" and "about as…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10. It’s the ultimate simulator for a billionaire who needs therapy but chooses to buy a tank instead. If you want to see what happens when a developer actually puts effort into a PC port (eventually), buy it on Steam. P.S. I'm Batman. No, really. My utility belt is just a fanny pack with a phone charger, but the spirit is there.

Rocksteady ended the Arkham trilogy (excluding Origins) at such a point that, even years later, it still manages to make you say, "How is this a 2015 game?" If you want to feel your cape fluttering in the wind and immerse yourself in Gotham's gloomy yet captivating atmosphere, you're in the right place.

In this conclusion of the Arkham saga, Batman is batmaninzed to the absolute limit, ready to become even more Batman, too Batman perhaps. Apart being absolutely flabbergasted by the overwhelming amount of money the Riddler spent to prepare our game, and the anti-climatic way my Batty got rid of him, it's out of discussion how cinematic and full of…

I like them all but i do prefer the combat in this one the most and it was nice to be able to drive the bat mobile but i wasn't a huge fan of all the quests related to it. Story was 10/10

The combat is smooth and powerful, Gotham City looks dark and alive, and gliding across the city feels incredible. The story is emotional and intense, making you truly feel like the Dark Knight till the very end. Rating: 9.5/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Almost everything about Batman Arkham Knight is perfect. The story, combat, atmosphere, and gameplay make it one of the best superhero games ever made. However the mandatory and tedious Riddler puzzles are a major downside and can make the experience feel like a chore. Despite that, the game is still an incredible Batman experience that I would highly recommend 8/10 the Riddler puzzles are the only thing holding it back.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →'A near perfect Batman experience slightly marred by a lack of originality in plot and overuse of the infamous bat-tank" If you want to be the Batman, this is the ideal game. You can fight criminals and break their bones in ten different ways or prey on their fears and pick them one by one just like in previous Arkham games but this time your arsenal is superior, the stakes are higher and the playground is larger than ever. Exploration You finally have all of the Gotham for yourself,…

When dawn comes and the bats disappear, There is no praise, no glory. Just a nameless man behind a mask, Guarding a city that will never know gratitude.

The combat, mechanics and side-missions were greatly handled. The story of the game was shocking as the truth about Jason and the ending. The ending was a bit confusing because after activating the Knightfall Protocol, he dies but he doesn’t? It’s a bit confusing. The characters have so much in depth detail which can't be noticed without…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Final Score: 92/100 The pinnacle of batman games, peak combat and stealth was on point better then the spiderman games imo, visually gorgeous game even years later, I love the dark grunge atmosphere, only con is the extensive riddler trophies and forced upon batmobile missions, overall a masterful game to finish of the batman arkham games. Score Breakdown Gameplay Experience: 20/25 Presentation & Immersion: 24/25 Design & Technical Aspects: 23/25 Final Considerations: 25/25
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still GOATed in 2026. Gameplay and graphics can still go head to head with games since 2020.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While i do consider this the weakest of the actual arkham games due to how i feel how the batmoblie is half baked. Along with some issues i have with the story (never was that into the Arkham Knight), The combat is at its very best here, and the world is beatiful to glide around. Even at its weakest, the Arkham Series is still a show stopper, worth playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As usual, another masterpiece in the Arkham series. They don't make games like these anymore. The batmobile challenges can be frustrating and difficult as can the Riddler puzzles. But I suppose that's the point. Great visuals and story.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The tibetan monks taught man how to drive at 100km/h without killing people Overall a pretty solid ending to the arkham franchise, had a bit more batmobile sections than needed but still didn't take away from the fact that it's a pretty good game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best arkham game for sure. Its main drawback is of course the simplistic combat system. I don't get the complaints about the batmobile, I'm enjoying it way more than melee combat in this game. PC port was close to unplayable on release which has long been fixed. To think that an unreal 3 fork engine with no raytracing to put stokes in its wheels can provide such visual splendor with impressive physics to boost. Really makes you ponder: perhaps we should go back.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A huge majority of players will upvote Batman Arkham Knight but that doesn't convey the splintered tale of the entire game as a whole. Like a storybook marriage between game and player, time eventually cracks the thinly veiled bond. Ultimately you're left with incompetent design, frustration and a bitter divorce between game and player that leaves hard feelings betraying the initial investment. Poster child for Valve's lack of foresight for their binary ratings implementation. + for the main…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →'Batman: Arkham Knight' is the pinnacle of the series, the perfect conclusion to Batman and the story that began in Arkham Asylum. This new installment aimed to improve upon everything seen before, with new hardware opening up new possibilities. And it succeeded. While the core framework of the series was retained, the presentation was different, there were new mechanics, new controls, new enemies, and some familiar ones. But despite the many changes, they only enhanced the final result. In…

I've owned it for a couple years maybe but just never installed it until recently, saving it for a rainy day's backlog expedition. That rainy day came and "wow" is almost all I have to say. You are Batman in this game, and you can do all the amazing stuff Batman's known to do. The graphics are fluid and eye-popping. The transitions from gameplay to cutscenes feel seamless, and the missions are quite varied and…

I know people who worship Arkham City might stone me to death but I'll state my reasoning behind this bold claim. But I must ask this lingering question; what has gotten into you, Rocksteady? From making the greatest superhero trilogy to making whatever the heck Suicide Squad was? Just the graphical difference between these two is jarring, we're…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is amazing without a shadow of a doubt, though there are some flaws but no game is perfect, and these imperfections come as personal differences regarding the gameplay style, not merely critiquing the amazing/great story of Arkham Knight. And importantly, this was the last time we/players got to experience Kevin Conroy as the Dark Knight for the last time in the Arkham series. Well done Rocksteady, I do think/believe Arkham Knight is the last story of the series, everything ended…

Just gliding around Gotham in the rain and listening to the thugs on the radio is really atmospheric. The combat is as good as always, and the new Fear Multi-Takedown where you drop 3 4 guys at once is a great addition. But for me, Joker carried the story. Having him randomly pop up and talk trash in your head is actually really fun. The main problem is the Batmobile.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Batman: Arkham Knight feels less like a superhero game and more like a slow walk through Gotham’s darkest night. The atmosphere is heavy from the start — rain-soaked streets, empty alleys, and villains that feel genuinely threatening. Combat is sharp and brutal, flowing perfectly once you find your rhythm. Predator sections are where the game really shines: quiet, tense, and ruthless in the best way. The story leans darker than expected, digging into Batman’s mind and pushing him to his…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot recommend this game enough. If you like Batman, play it. If you like superheroes in general, play it. If you don't like either of those things, play it anyways. This game has phenomenal stealth and combat. I'd recommend playing the first two before this though (and I guess Origins) and now is the best time to try them since they are all on sale in a bundle for less than 10 bucks. Ignore what everyone says about the Batmobile because you really aren't forced to use it as much as you…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best "git gud" games I've played. Surprised it also doesn't have the "overwhelmingly positive" status of the previous 2. Better graphics than the past 2 games. Animations are very well done and combat flows like water once you master it. Finding all the collectables was both a chore and rewarding at the same time as you need the XP to get upgrades for Batman. In terms of grind I could only give a sigh of relief as it isn't close to as grindy as the previous game to 100%.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A superhero game that came out more than a decade ago. Can easily compete with recently released superhero games If not stand as the golden bar for the genre. A game way ahead of it's time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game that will probably forever stand the test of time. Absolutely beautiful for a game released in 2015 with incredible gameplay that just adds to what was already great from the other Arkham games. The gameplay is elevated to the best it’s ever been in the series. The combat is brutal, fast, fluid and extremely entertaining. Batman feels like he’s at his peak The marvelous traversal and well-made characters will definitely keep you hooked from start to finish.

Finishing every side mission and fully clearing Gotham made the journey feel complete and satisfying, especially as the final chapter of the Arkham series after Batman: Arkham City. Visually, the game is stunning. Gotham is darker, bigger, more detailed, and incredibly atmospheric, easily the most immersive version of the city in the trilogy. The combat system is at…

neutral · AI labelView post →Edit: This was originally a thumbs-up, but apparently the game requires me to get all the riddler trophies to get the full ending. That's an unfun slog. I'm actually quite disturbed they thought this was ok. It genuinely breaks my heart, but whoever made that decision has earned the game a thumbs-down and dropped my overall rating to a 7/10.
