I have a lot to things to say about this one:

Every since its launch, I see people badtalking about Arkham Knight and now that I have finished the game, I mut admit that it surpassed my expectations. I didn't expect a game that good, It isn't perfect, but is a very solid game, ended the trilogy very well and it's not way worse than Arkham City by any means.

I enjoyed the story, the combat is the greatest in the franchise by far, the graphics and art direction are incredible even 8 years after it's launch. Scarecrow isn't a villian as good as Joker in Arkham City, but it served its purpose.

Now lets talk about the downsides. During my playthrough, I identified 2 major downsides and lets talk about them: The batmobile and the boss fights.

The batmobile is overused as fuck in this game and thats terrible. Even though the driving and combat are responsive and good, its so repetitive that at some point in the campaing, it really start to bother. I really liked the sections where you needed to use the batmobile to access some new area, break a wall, but the combat with it happens everytime and works the same way during the entire game.

Now about the main game boss fights: Man, they are really underwhelming. Arkham City and Asylum has memorable boss fights and Arkham Knight its the complete opposite. I JUST FINISHED THE GAME and I can't even remember the boss fights that I had during my 13h playthrough.

Besided all of that, I think this game is better than the Arkham Asylum and worst than Arkham City. It could be 5/5 if wasn't for the problems that I talked earlier.
