One of the most fearsome villains in the DC Universe is relegated to a fourth-tier role here, as he takes over for another villain you’ve already confronted. He doesn’t even get his own unique storyline. Looks…not very Penguin-y.Īnd Deathstroke-oh, poor Deathstroke. Man-Bat doesn’t even do anything-he just flies in circles until you decide to find him. Firefly pulls the same “bust out of a building that’s on fire” move three times before deciding he’s been punched in the face enough to stay down. Penguin is smuggling guns out of featureless warehouses. It looks badass.Īrkham Knight abandons this and squanders its villains, especially outside of the main story. And there’s a new move that involves ejecting out of the Batmobile at high speed and launching yourself a mile into the air before gliding around Gotham. Gliding around the city is considerably less janky than it was in Arkham City. The trademark Batman combat has never been more fluid. Embodying Batman in Arkham Knight is, frankly, fantastic.
It is a collection of pretty great mechanics soldered onto some cringe-worthy dialogue, a pile of meaningless side missions, a decent main story, some truly illogical plot conceits, and so much forced vehicular action it’d be easy to forget this is a story about Bat man.Įverything that is great about Arkham Knight has been lifted from Rocksteady’s previous two games-the incredible Arkham Asylum and the slightly-less-incredible-but-still-good Arkham City. Sure, it’s fun, but Arkham Knight is not a great game.
There are so many other issues with this game that have nothing to do with its frame rate, its textures, any of that. The technical problems with Arkham Knight have been a lightning rod, though.
