So I've been playing Arkham Knight for about five hours now, and let me tell ya, it's awesome! Now, don't get me wrong, I do have some issues with it, but it's not something that's ruined the game for me yet -- we'll see about that later.
Let's talk about what I don't like so I can later heave praise on it unabashedly. What's bothered me so far is that they shoe-horn the batmobile on everything. Now, I enjoy using the batmobile when I want to use it, not every waking moment they want me to. I don't really want to compare the game to GTA, but I guess I have to. The driving in GTA is so much fun, I like to drive anywhere in that game -- and I'm not a fan of driving! Here, on the other hand, it's not the same. Maneuvering is not precise, I miss my exits and turns all the time (and I know I'm not the only one).
Now, when they just let me be the Bats, that's a different story. It's what I've always loved about the game. Give me more of that! Which to be honest, is most of the game from what I've played. I also love the side missions. Man, I usually don't do many side quests. I'll take one on here and there in games, but these seem like they actually mean something. I don't know if it's just because I want to play more of the game or what, but I enjoy them.
The menus are so slick and minimalist, which is something I applaud. I don't like clutter, especially on a video game screen. So when I just get a few options and they're so easy to use, I'm in heaven, baby!
You're money, baby!
I also love the new batsuit! So many new features to love. I'm not going to talk about them much, because I don't want to get into too much detail, but I just want to say I love it. Oh, before I even forget! I also know why the game is called Arkham Knight... I thought it was because of Batman. But one of the villains is actually called Arkham Knight! I just wanted to throw that out there...
For a more detailed insight into the game, I'll do deeper into it and let you guys know what I thought of it. But for now, it's Bat-tastic!
