Batman's utility belt is fat with gadgets-some new, some old-to experiment with.īeing an open-world game, there’s a lot to do outside of the main story-which, as you might expect, varies wildly in quality.
Hacking remote-control drones to turn on their allies and replicating the Knight’s voice to order his men around are just a few of the new ways to creatively clear a room of bad guys. Hanging in the rafters and picking off enemies as they quake in fear is as brilliantly satisfying as it’s always been-and now there are even more ways to mess with them. The predator sections, which have always been the highlight of the series for me, are more fun than ever. Stupid car aside, this is a very decent Arkham game. I’ve never felt less like Batman, and groaned whenever the Arkham Knight sent yet another wave of his dumb drones in for me to halfheartedly destroy.

The game was ultimately pulled from Steam for a long time, but never quite measured up against the console release. Extensive patches back in 2015 came and went, often with less than stellar results. You might remember the debacle that was Batman: Arkham Knight's PC release, which saw the game rendered unplayable for many. Batman: Arkham Knight's disastrous PC launch was a long time ago, and years later some of the old wounds have started to heal.
