Arkham Knight is the pinnacle of the bloated AAA open-world design. A beautifully crafted world with an astonishing level of detail that rivals the Gotham of the Tim Burton's movies that has not a single meaningful moment. A real exercise in futility.

Ubisoft might get the most shit for this but Rocksteady truly beat them at their own game here. Not even them would be sadistic enough to hide over 200 pointless collectibles behind so many stupid puzzles.

I can't even say if I enjoyed myself while playing this. Part of me had fun gliding, the other wanted to throw the controller at the screen every time I had to listen to one of the villains talk.

This game is a textbook on how to NOT write villains. Not once I thought they were menacing or dangerous, most of the times I just wanted them to shut up. And Joker is the worst example of this, he shouldn't even have been in this game. Feels almost like they were afraid the game wouldn't work without him, so they just threw up the flimsiest excuse for him to be in it and gave Mark Hamill a compilation of all the worst lines of dialogue he would have on his career until The Last Jedi.

Anyway, Batman is a shitty superhero, when are they releasing a decent Hellboy game? I should have just played the Blacksad game instead.
