As of writing this review i finished the main story and some side quests i have a 50% completed save file i plan on completionisting the game.

I don't really wanna talk about the story in this game as it's very subjective if you like the story or not.

Gotham city is absolutely gorgeous and full of life and color and is the best recreation of gotham in the arkham series
the visuals are simply stunning and the game has been optimsed much better i never encountered any major frame drops because of the large scale of game.

The combat is just as fluid as city and the new enemies amp up the challange with enemies that require a specific gadget to disarm them first or the new brutes that are much tougher than the armed brothers from city there is a wide variety of upgrades for combat with the old ones returning which makes it so that there are several options for taking enemies down and makes it much more interesting than city and cinematic with the introduction of environment takedowns.

The predator sections has always been one of my fav implementation of stealth in games but arkham knight really outdid itself and made the stealth from previous games look primitive with brand new gadgets such as the voice synthesiser,the ugraded remote hacking device and upgraded disruptor and to add the cherry on top the predator section has newer enimies , drones ,machinegunners which make stealth a whole lot of fun! its the best stealth in the series.

The batmobile : now you cannot talk about this game without mentioning the batmobile how the game makes you use it every chance you get not simply for the mundane tank combat but also annoying puzzles but i think the batmobile doesnt overstay its welcome too much and while some parts such as the tank bossfights or riddler races can make your lose your sanity it isnt overly hard i think its alright

these are the three elements of gameplay you bounce between and i think they are all great yes the jump from a great predator section to a boring tank battle might feel bad its never feels awful.

Arkham knight at its best is an amazing game with beautiful visuals and gameplay to go along with it and at its worst its just a bit boring which is better than what most games can say for themselves.
