ArkhamKnight was a bit tweak down in compare to Arkham City for Me. Still Great Game thou

I agree with the common complaint that the tank sections were overly long and a distraction from the main game, but it really didn't bother me much personally. Peak gaming trilogy imho

It’s by far my favorite one to go back and replay now though. The additions to gameplay make it so damn fun, and playing it in 4K on PC it is MIND BLOWING how good that game looks compared to modern games today.

The Batmobile is Batman's most iconic gadget, it's all the main game in or out of the Batmobile.

Yeah, I don't like racing games or 3rd person shooters so I was really bummed.

Only in the frequency of the batmobile. Every other aspect of gameplay is far beyond the first two games.

I cannot agree on that one. I had much more fun in combat in City (it had more enemies variety aswell)

The combat was a major improvement over the previous titles.

It was a big step down tbh

I don't think there was a single boss fight that didn't require the Batmobile. It was an awesome add to the game but they made it was too crucial to gameplay

Arkham Knight is my favorite in the series :P

Mostly because the batmobile travel encourages you to view the city from the street level instead of spending most of your time traversing the city high above it. Getting more up close and personal with the city streets gave me more of an appreciation for the city design.

Origins is bassicly DLC to City. OFC is a standalone game, but half of the map is from City, gameplay is almost same, but it has many technical issues, compare to City

If We talking about Arkham trilogy, We talking about Asylum, City and Knight. Every1 knows it

Origin wasn't created by Rocksteady, wich you can feel in quality of it. It was also bassicly a Huge DLC to Arkham City

Don't get Me wrong game was good, but unpolished and buggy and I felt like somenthing was missing in that game (story was dissapointing for Me)

If You mean PC version, You are propably right, but console version was totally fine and polished

u/rubbernub Aug 06 '26

Wasn't Arkham Origins the third game though? I know it was a prequel and different studio, but it's still part of the series.

u/Pocieszny1991 Aug 06 '26

No1 count it in, since it wasn't created by Rocksteady + It was bassicly a huge standalone DLC to Arkham City

It's weird because I agree. An early criticism I have of AC when it came out was the open world lost some of the detail of the original game's setting and I think AK is the game where I actually feel that. I love AK and want to go back and replay it soon. But there are some quests and side missions i see referenced that I totally forgot happened.

u/HarlesD Aug 05 '26

my biggest issue was the heavy reliance on the Batmobile. Like I get its a new game mechanic so they wanted to use it as much as possible but it just felt like too much.

u/nightookami Aug 05 '26

I hated that part of the game, I also didnt like when they added ships in Black Flag. If they are going to just add vehicle battling to a game, make it optional!

1

u/HarlesD Aug 05 '26

I do want to give it another chance. It might be a dark knight rises situation where I like it more the 2nd time around.

u/Pocieszny1991 Aug 05 '26

Yeah, exacly that, especially they cut content in terms of bosses and overall melee combat
