This review contains spoilers
Pros:
+ Joker’s inclusion and the emphasis on psychological horror.
+ Still one of the best looking games ever made. The rain covered, neon tinged, meticulously detailed Gotham and fantastic character animations and designs still are high bar setters.
+ Voice acting.
+ The Arkham combat style has been perfected.
+ Plenty of bonus content (challenge maps, race tracks, DLC etc.), as well as plenty of side quests in game…
+ Batmobile feels like a beast to drive…
Cons.
- By far the weakest boss battles of the franchise.
- The Arkham Knight & Scarecrow’s dialogue schtick’s can become repetitive and a tad grating.
- …substantial chunk of the side missions feel like filler.
- …is overused in certain sequences and grappling is still the way to travel.

Pros.
+ A unique and interesting blend of espionage/mystery, alongside horror and action…
+ Impressive environmental graphics. Atmospheric lighting, shadows and sound design.
+ A genuinely terrifying and tense introduction to Nicolas’ storyline.
+ Sharp jump scares.
+ Over-the-top and exciting chase set pieces.
+ Old school puzzles…
Cons.
- … the switching up between these two plots is jarring and find themselves dragging at points due to backtracking and an empty feel.
- Voice acting is hit and miss.
- A handful of glitches/bugs locked me out of completing puzzles.
- … does lead to frustrating trial and error and tension/pacing killing.

Pros.
+ Solid, reliable and straightforward third person shooter mechanics.
+ Air traversal and combat feels superb.
+ Voice cast and performances.
+ Plenty of standout set pieces (Metroplex, Starscream’s haphazard assault on the Autobots, Grimlock Smash, the entire final chapter…)
Cons.
- First few chapters take a little while to become wholly investing.
- Dodging and blocking can feel a little clunky.
