The result? A more grounded and intimate adventure that breaks down Kratos’ character and turns him into a more relatable hero. After so many games, the formula had grown stale, so developer Sony Santa Monica went back to the drawing board for its 2018 reboot/sequel, simply titled God of War. The original three God of War games, as well as the prequel God of War: Ascension, are violent, over-the-top, often ridiculous games that center on anti-hero Kratos and his struggle against the gods and monsters of Greek mythology. If you can overlook those sections, you’ll have a great time with Arkham Knight. One thing players didn’t love about this game is the inclusion of the Batmobile sections, which are overdone, but they aren’t so bad. This is an essential Batman game, especially if you enjoyed Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, as it ties up the story nicely. The themes are dark and gritty, giving the characters much more weight, with grounded realism at the forefront. Another incredible thing this game does is pay homage to previous Batman iterations, offering plenty of costumes and Batmobile designs from the 1960s to today. No superhero game feels as good as this one, at least when it comes to the action combat. It also has a fascinating story full of twists - most of which are genuine surprises. The way it refines the beloved combat from the previous games is impressive, with plenty of gadgets to throw into each combo.

Even though Batman: Arkham Knight is the weakest of the Arkham trilogy, it’s still a fantastic game.
