It’s been nine months since the climactic events of Arkham City. Rocksteady have always done an exceptional job of making you feel like Batman, but now, just as the marketing materials promised, you can be the Batman. The closing part of the Arkham trilogy is a potent mix of kinetic hand-to-hand brawling, hi-tech crime scene investigating, high-speed edge-of-seat driving, fiendish riddle solving, compelling trophy collecting and empowering predatory prowling. No longer confined to the decrepit corridors of Arkham Asylum or trapped behind the towering walls of Arkham City, Arkham Knight sets us loose in a sizable open-world chunk of Gotham, plonks us in the boots of a Batman at the peak of his powers, and, for the first time in the series’ history, hands us the keys to the Batmobile.
