Batman Arkham Knight: an excellent closing chapter to this franchise.
Now that Microsoft's cloud gaming service, Xcloud, officially launched in my country, I was finally able to beat the last game in the Arkham Trilogy. And boy, was it good.
The game feels like the culmination of the trilogy, improving on all the mechanics and characters that the other games introduced and giving its own twist. The urgent plot, the ramifications of Joker's hijinks from Arkham City, the integration of the bat family during side and main stories. It nails almost perfectly the feel of Batman's animated movies, while giving you all the tools you need to allow the Dark Knight to shine.
Was the heavily criticized Batmobile bad? I don't think so. It feels fast, but incredibly tough, making it an absolute treat to drive around and, especially, beat the Riddler's challenges. However, the over reliance on tank battles was kinda off-putting, but I might attribute that to my binge-playing.
How did you guys feel about it? I still haven't completed the post-game story, but I find it hard to believe that I would be disappointed. Definitely one the best single player experiences I've had.
