Despite the initial launch issues, this game has been "fixed". Is it optimized? Of course not, but its WAY better than it ever was in the beginning, with the unacceptable 30 fps cap and constant stutter/fps drops.

The Pros:
  • The implementation of the batmobile alongside perks such as grapnel boost are made available from the start

  • Fantastic narrative, gameplay and memorable characters.

  • The final game of the franchise. Definitely a very fitting ending for such a great franchise. I have enjoyed all 3 main games and Origins as well, and although I am a bit sad that this is the actual end for the Batman Arkham games,

  • AR Challenges. Adds replay value to the game

  • Wider range of characters can be selected in AR Challenges, and a wide variety of different character skins.

  • Plenty of replayability. This game is an open-world sandbox game. Although aside from only having those common thugs and some AR missions that can be replayed, the game is still plenty fun after beating it. Lots of end-game things to do and makes this game worthy of a purchase as the fun doesn't end right after the story ends, there are tons of collectibles/side quests/AR challenges/achievements etc to accomplish late game.

  • This game goes on sale alot. This means you'll definitely be able to pick this game up at a discounted price, and that is definitely something worth considering. This game is definitely worth every benefit even having paid the MSRP for it, but having it on sale is nothing short of a privilege, as this game is definitely one of the best I've ever played.

The Cons:
  • Technical issues at launch, and unfortunately is still not entirely fixed in the "final" game. It's fixed to the extent that it at least allow mid-high to higher end systems to run this game well.


Overall, I would recommend this game - I would easily classify this to be one of the best games I've played, easily topping its predecessors in the series.
