The best Batman game available.
After a rocky start to the PC versions release (I finished the game with a broken 30fps mess with more issues than Cyberpunk 2077) the dev team at Rocksteady took over the ports reigns and between their efforts and tech catching up in power to run it smoothly Arkham Knight has been my go to Batman game for some time with over 300 hours logged into the Steam version. Finally introducing the divisive Batmobile into the games open world, Rocksteady didn't just shoe horn it in and made it an integral part of Knights gameplay. With a tank style battle mode for crushing the opposition thrown at you to gadgets to help you solve puzzles Rocksteady really did think of how you use Batmans wheels in every situation. I see a lot of people not enamoured with the car gameplay but I say if you stick at it and master it then it becomes the best part of the game. As well as that are the usual stealth elements and gadgets as well as new abilities such as taking 5 enemies out at once after upgrading. The Riddler challenges return in mixed format from races to simple puzzles so there is plenty to work at after the credits roll. The story for the most part is pretty predictable but competently executed with some good character moments with the Gordons, however a lot of the later Arkham Knight stuff does fall pretty flat. Fortunately other characters make up for the short comings here. The visuals are still decent even 5 years on with an intricate batsuit for Bruce and some impressive skin simulation on the facial tech. There are even more character skins and Batmobile skins available in the season pass that deck Batman out like Keaton or Affleck with the appropriate car. Also, I recommend the season pass of not just for the final DLC in which they brought back Freeze and Croc among others. All in all this was a triumphant end to the series that deserves to be remembered as the peak of the Arkham series.
