Arkham knight is my second favorite entry in the arkham series, just behind city, it features the epic conclusion to rocksteady's trilogy and some truly incredible story moments. The batmobile is an awesome vehicle, but it is overused like any great mechanic, the stealth for the batmobile in particular is what stands out as frustrating, but every other mechanic is perfected in this final installment. The fluidity of the combat, and the swiftness of the stealth. Batman has also never looked better, at launch the port was very incomplete, but now it runs quite well. Hopefully companies learn to put more effort in their pc ports, but only time will tell. At 30$ this game is a steal and I highly recommend it.

TL; DR
Pros:
+all of the gameplay
+stellar voice acting
+plethora of easter eggs for diehard fans
+really detailed and beautiful world
+updated graphics engine
+improved port greatly since launch
+replay value w/ side missions, riddler trophies, more challenges etc.

Cons:
-Overused batmobile at end of the story
-batmobile stealth
-lack of boss fights
-occasional glitches

Overall this is probably my favorite game of last year and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the previous entries in the arkham franchise especially if you want to see the conclusion of what happens after arkham city. Highly Recommended.

9/10

Agreed, the game was an absolute diamond, if we see past the huge overuse of Batmobile and amount of real boss battles. And also, too many riddles imo
