Arkham Knight is a bit bittersweet. I'm not referring to spoilers within the plot but the fact that this is the final Arkham game that will be made by the folks over at Rocksteady Games. They have been responsible for all of them except for the Arkham Origins. There has been quite some delays involved as it is upsetting at 1st but I'd prefer them to take their time and give us their best product.
Be the Batman. That has been the behind the marketing campaign of the latest Arkham game titled the Arkham Knight. I have been a huge advocate for the entire Batman Arkham series and pretty much everything Batman. I own the previous games all except for Origins. This game was the entire reason I bought an Xbox One. Rocksteady said they added a lot more to the game than ever. Time to dive into it to see if they're going out w/ a bang or not.
Being The Batman
Tag-teaming it up w/ Robin, Nightwing, or Catwoman for the team-up takedowns are truly awesome. Its not as complicated as it looks. It can be executed w/ a mere touch of a button. The hand-to-hand combat system is better than ever as the bad guys get a bit smarter int heir attacks as well.
Everything has been upgraded: from your suit, your abilities, and even the bad guys.
In Origins, the Bat-Wing or Bat Plane was your vehicle to travel with. This time around is the Bat-Mobile. It is a powerful yet agile tank as it is in the comics & other forms of media. In case you thought you would be utilizing your grappling gun w/ an occasional drive, you're sadly mistaken. Driving it has a bit of a learning curve to it. Just driving around the city is fine but having to side swipe other vehicles or trying to keep up w/ a lead in a chase can take some getting used to.
Same goes w/ using all of your weapons while in Battle Mode while evading direct hits from drone tanks. Hell, you can even eject out of it and shoot into the sky like a cannon. The game kind of forces you to use it a lot more than you may have wanted so you should get used it using it to the best of your ability. While I prefer to grapple across the rooftops & glide around the city for a means of travel, it was great to finally be able to utilize his iconic car.
