Among the comic book genres that are rampant in the game industry, Batman's "Arkham" series is a clear stream, and each game has a very high quality, so it also has a good reputation among the player community. Arkham Knight, the final chapter of the series' saga, is still a masterpiece overall, but the initial PC version was controversial due to poor optimization.
It is said that at that time, the team in charge of porting PC was only about 10 members, so the results were not ideal, resulting in too high demand, and the first few games were all excellent works known for good optimization, so the PC version of Arkham Knight was really quite unsatisfactory. Steam also temporarily suspended the sale of this game at the time, and it wasn't until the problem was fixed that the game was able to be released again. Although there has been an optimization storm, it still can't hide the light of this masterpiece, as long as players who have played this game, they must be full of praise for it. Therefore, even though a full 9 years have passed, this work is still called the ceiling of manga games.
The story of Arkham Knight continues from the city of Arkham, when the scarecrow unleashes a gas-of fear to drive the citizens crazy and chaos the city on Halloween, and the villains and villains also come out in an instant, and Batman must clean up all the enemies in one night. It's arguably the best graphics I've ever played with Unreal Engine 3.
As you can see from the detailed skin of the waitress in a restaurant at the beginning, Gotham City is full of magic and gothic style, and the effect of raindrops is the best, such as Batman can also observe the details of raindrops being thrown out when he opens his cape, which can be said to be the production team's work to elevate Unreal Engine 3 to the top one.
Arkham Knight has a lot of eye-catchers, starting with Batman's costume being completely upgraded from head to toe halfway through the story. Changed into a handsome shape like armor, full of style, and the equipment and capabilities that can be used in the previous games have also been greatly enhanced, bringing more excellent combat and stealth effects.
There is also a new feature is "double cooperation", you may encounter Catwoman, Robin, Nightwing and others during the story, and then when the battle begins, there will be a doubles performance, players will be able to switch between the two operations, and use special ways to knock down enemies to win more quickly, colorful fighting action and slow-motion knockdown animations have a very high level of performance.
The Batmobile occupies a high position in this game, and most of the game relies on the Batmobile to clear the level, not only when rushing or against enemy armored vehicles, but also to solve puzzles to take advantage of the characteristics of the Batmobile, so if the player doesn't like to drive, then this game may take a little more time to get used to the operation of the vehicle. However, I think the Batmobile feels great to drive, and it can also transform into tank mode to coast left and right. The on-call Batmobile can also be remotely controlled, which is very powerful.
The rest of the game is the same as the previous games in the Arkham series, with many infiltrates and combat sequences along the way, as well as Batman's inner fears, the atmosphere is very remarkable, and the hallucinations of the Joker's haunting will remain in Batman's mind forever.
There are also some horror game-like scare scenes, so that players can't predict what will happen in the next moment, and the true face of Arkham Knight has also become the breaking point of this game. If you want to see the real ending, you still need to complete all the branches, and the game also has a two-week mode, so the playability of this work can be said to be directly full.
Although compared to today's comic game ceiling "Marvel's Spider-Man", this work is slightly outdated. But the picture that is so detailed that people can't believe it's the Unreal Engine 3, the plot is even more exciting than the movie, and the refreshing fights are still excellent to this day, plus if you're a Batman fan, then you shouldn't miss this comic game masterpiece.
