At time it felt like you were playing a Battlezone remake instead of They did not run out of ideas. And they really didn't need Siege mode boss battles. Siege mode wasn't so bad but was overdone. There aren't a lot of open world games that let you just fly around so freely and the ability to fly around, call the Batmobile and drop into it, and then launch back into flight made traversal a ton of fun. Asylum had some gliding, and City expanded that, but Knight really puts an emphasis on soaring above the city and gives you a lot of tools to get vertical quickly. I would also say that the flying in general in Knight is very liberating and fun. The puzzles in the first two games felt like an afterthought much of the time, but some of the Batmobile puzzles were actually kind of interesting. I kind of wish they were making a sequel just because I feel like they could do even more with that. I would add that the Batmobile really opened up the puzzle elements in a cool and interesting way. I see you, too, are a man of taste and refinement! I think Rocksteady tried to do a bunch of new and interesting stuff in it and not all of it succeeded but much of it So I found someone else who liked the Batmobile stuff. There's too much Bat Tank, it has some story issues, and some of the gameplay changes aren't the best, but it looks fantastic, has the best open world from a gameplay perspective, and just has a ton of cool stuff in it. I like all the Arkham games, even Origins, but I liked Knight the best. Even Origins is good.ģ) Knight gets a really bad rap for a bunch of reasons that I don't really agree with. You don't need to play those games first but they're good games. I'd imagine it will be on sale for the digital Black Friday sales so if you're not totally broke you can pick it up. There are lots of references and call backs you'll miss out on, of course, and you won't understand some of the nuances of the relationships, but the game doesn't do a great job with that stuff anyway and most of it is standard Batman stuff more or less.Ģ) Return to Arkham goes on sale like all the frickin' time for $10 or so. I believe the game fills you in on the backstory itself as you go.

Even though Rocksteady didn't make Arkham Origins there actually are references to that game in Arkham Knight, though only a couple minor ones.

1) You can play Arkham Knight without playing the previous 3 (yes 3) games.
