Batman Arkham Knight review – a richly empowering comic book fantasy

Rocksteady Studios proves its mastery of the Dark Knight with this third and apparently final gothic adventure

Note: this is a review of the PlayStation 4 version of Arkham Knight. The PC version has been withdrawn from sale by Warner Bros owing to technical issues. This review should not be considered a reflection of the PC version of the game.

If Arkham Knight really is the end for developer Rocksteady Studios and the Dark Knight, at least the two are parting on a high. Not only has this development team polished its series game mechanics to near-perfection, it has also reached a perfect understanding of this grimy comic book world.
