When Arkham Knight was coming out I as well as others was excited for the conclusion of the Arkham series that was started in 2009 by Rocksteady. So is this conclusion worthy of the Arkham series? The graphics of this game are phenomenal. The best looking Batman game to date. The gameplay is just as a good as the other ones. Combat is just as smooth,Predator is a lot more diverse then it was in the previous games including more thugs such as Medics,Gunners,Etc. There's even new gadgets such as one that allows you to change your voice to set traps on enemy's. The new feature that fans have been asking for the Batmobile controls very well. It drives smoothly and functions well in combat. The story of this game is that after the Jokers death the Scarecrow makes his return after being presumed dead in the original Arkham Asylum now he wants a city of fear and now has an alliance with the Penquin,Two Face,Harley Quinn,and a new foe the Arkham Knight who wants Batman dead. The city of Gotham is evacuated and is taken over by the criminals of Gotham Kevin Conroy returns as the Caped Crusader Batman and like always he's fantastic in this role. *Spoiler Alert* The Joker returns and is voiced by to my surprise Mark Hamil and to be honest he's one of my favorite parts of this game. John Noble is the new voice of the Scarecrow and I honestly prefer him more then the original he sounds a lot more menacing.
Now that I said all the positives I had with this game now it's time for the negatives. The game relays on the Batmobile way too much It's nice to have but the game uses it A lot more then it should have. Also there are hardly if not any boss battles in this game Deathstrokes boss battle is sure to disappoint a lot. The Arkham Knights identity is pretty obvious and not that very surprising. The Scarecrow despite being advertised as the main villain takes a backseat in this game. Despite being able to play as Catwoman,Nightwing,and Robin in the main story you only play as them in certain parts of the story and can't free roam as them.
Despite it's flaws and not being my favorite of the Arkham series which is Arkham City. Arkham Knight is a great game worthy of the Arkham Series,and I think that Batman fans and fans of the series should get this game.
