The shadows are his home and keeping Gotham's citizens safe is his sustenance. Darkness envelops his every move and his legend lives in the whispers of each passerby. Known by many names — the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, Batman — this man lives to protect. But by pitting himself against the criminals of a city, he has only made his laundry list of powerful enemies grow. One after another, a new and nefarious threat has risen up and one after another Batman succeeded in bringing them down. But what happens when those menacing masterminds join forces? Who will rescue Gotham when a deadly roster of depraved lunatics gangs up on the shadowed warrior? Who will save us all?The finale to the legendary Arkham series explodes onto your screen in the most adrenaline-pumping storyline yet. The Scarecrow has returned to Gotham City and he has united a terrifying team of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn. For the first time in the franchise, you get to step behind the wheel of the iconic Batmobile as you harness the power of Batman and scramble to outwit the wicked gang after your blood. Tear through the streets and soar across the skyline in heart-pounding gameplay that will suck you in and force you to ask yourself if you have what it takes to save Gotham. Do you have it within you to be the hero the city needs? Or will the villains of Gotham overtake the Dark Knight once and for all?

Arkham Knight: Best Superhero Game Ever Made
on June 23, 2015
Posted by: Ross
(THIS REVIEW IS TO HELP FOR THOSE DECIDING TO BUY THIS GAME AND WONDERING IF IT'S WORTH THE PRICE TAG). The epic conclusion, Batman: Arkham Knight begins one year after the events of Arkham City, the game's main storyline follows Batman as he confronts the Scarecrow, who has launched an attack on Gotham City, causing a city-wide evacuation. Like the previous Arkham games, Arkham Knight is presented from the third-person perspective with a primary focus on Batman's combat and stealth abilities, detective skills, and gadgets that can be used in both combat and exploration. The game also introduces an amazing and long-awaited feature, this being the Batmobile as a playable vehicle, which can be used for transportation or for combat; giving the player an addition which adds to the experience of truly being The Batman in this open-world environment of Gotham City. The game expands Batman's arsenal of gadgets and combat attacks and offers a more open world structure, allowing the player to complete side missions away from the primary storyline, without being a repetitive task, but rather being a fun and exciting one that the player enjoys doing. It's gameplay is both, challenging and engaging as the enemies have different moves and fighting styles that put's the player's ability (the character of Batman) to the test of the Dark Knight's skills and abilities in combat. The other new tactic is instant team-up takedowns, available when Batman is joined by playable buddies like Robin and Catwoman. You can switch to them at any time during fights and they each have their own individual move sets that feel just different enough from the Bat to keep things interesting. Batman's final and most persistent partner-in-takedowns is the Batmobile, which can be summoned at almost any time with a button press. (You'll even drop directly into the cockpit if you summon it while in midair.) The most notable non-feature of Arkham Knight is in the way it refuses to give you all the answers. It gives you the tools to pretend to be Batman and then trusts that you'll be able to make your way. When you're trapped with a monologuing enemy, Arkham Knight doesn't remind you that you can remotely blast enemies with the Batmobile; it waits patiently for you to come to it on your own. The feeling of having to intellectually engage with your environment and abilities makes for the most satisfying simulation of Batman yet.
Arkham Knight is epic and grand in terms of scale including it's character and action driven story, featuring addictive gameplay, putting you in the mind of the Dark Knight and taking you on a never-ending roller coaster of mystery, action, and excitement, being both impactful and smart as we fill the shoes of Batman and go along this journey for one last time. It's presented in a visually breath-taking experience with no flaws, presenting an improvement and fluidity in it's combat system with powerful performances from Kevin Conroy as Batman and the supporting cast (I'm purposely avoiding talking about the story, which is packed with so many stellar, memorable moments and reaches an unbelievably dark conclusion). Rocksteady's finale to the Arkham trilogy ends on a high-note, just as we've seen from Nolan's trilogy of the Dark Knight. For those big or curious on the story, like a movie it's best enjoyed by just letting the narrative take you on the journey rather than trying to guess the ending. That being said, Arkham Knight is a potent and masterfully crafted game that concludes the Dark Knight's journey in spectacular fashion that the player will keep coming back and revisiting the story or in fact, epic finale. This game is a must-buy for both Batman and non-Batman fans alike who own a PS4 system. Hope this helps!
I'm awarding Arkham Knight a 5 out of 5.
