Batman Arkham Knight

                          'This is how it happened.This is how the Batman died.'

Superhero games in general have been cursed indefinitely, thanks to developers not being able to reciprocate the magic on screen and also getting a proper story or setting into place for it to take place. Arkham Asylum broke the jinx with an extraordinarily crafted game, bringing all the villains into it and making batman one of the few superheros to have a fantastic game to his name. Then came arkham city, Rocksteady took everything that was good with the first one and made it even better. Arkham city todate is regarded as the greatest superhero game ever created. The conclusion to that trilogy is here.... The Arkham Knight is here.
The biggest and most controversial ending to Arkham city was that of Joker's death. Something no batman fan ever anticipated. Having the joker taken out of the equation, a power struggle that is imminent ends up happening. Scarecrow capitalizes on this by unleashing his fear gas and makes the entire city evacute. With Gotham to all for himself, all that remains is to kill Batman. To assist him in this endevour is a new villain called the Arkham Knight, a militia commander who holds an undying grudge on batman, Oracle, games gordon and almost every single Villan from ivy to two face, Riddler to Penguin.. they are all there. But the main focus is Scarecrow. He is the reason for all this and to end him is what you are after.
Gadgets are bountiful with an array of new techies to play with, deep emphasis has been given to combat, free flow bet em up has never been better. Adding a dedicated skill tree makes upgrading batman superfun. New gadgets such as the voice synthesizer and crime scene deconstruction makes investigating and fighting a lot more fun and yes I am getting there.....The Batmobile.
This... this thing made the fanboy in me scream so hard. It is an amazing experience, to simply travel the vast expanse of gotham on this juggernaut. Yes it's not just for the speed, it packs quite a punch, to take out even the most insanely armored tanks. We also have a series of dedicated missions to make the most out of the batmobile experience. There is innovation in every little detail and that is everything that's right about Rocksteady.

A tiny weeny spoiler riddler has catwomen, help her get out :D !!!! Ok, so we got a lot of twists and turns . Super duper surprises......... Uff enough but this is indeed a fitting conclusion to this awesome franchise. I even got a few hints of their next game, Well maybe.All that aside, having played a fully patched game with no bugs I cannot speak for the crazy amount of crashes it might have suffered. On my PS4 the game runs flawlessly and it is the grand conclusion I have earned for all this while.
Final Verdict : Arkham Knight is everything we have always wanted from a Batman game, thank you Rocksteady for making this ending so much memorable. We love you !!!
Welcome back Rocksteady, Welcome back ^_^
