Batman: Arkham Knight review

Batman: Arkham Knight closes Rocksteady's trilogy and has the most Steam reviews of any game here, with 92% of 52,265 English reviews positive. Its headline addition is the Batmobile, which the Steam page says can switch from a high-speed pursuit mode to a military-grade battle mode and can be driven across the whole game world. That world is the entirety of Gotham City rather than a single district, and the story has Scarecrow uniting the city's criminals to destroy Batman. Combat, stealth and forensics carry over from Arkham City with updates. At $19.99 for the base game it costs the same as the two earlier Rocksteady games, but the Steam page lists 24 DLC items sold on top. It is also the most demanding of the trilogy: 6 GB of RAM, a GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7870 with 2 GB of memory, 45 GB of storage and a broadband connection. It ranks third because ease of setup and value trail Arkham City.
