If you are a gamer you probably know whole story about latest Batman game on PC. Currently on metacritic: PC version has 1.6 User Score based on 1466 ratings and 63 Metascore based on 7 critics. I was for a long time deciding if I should buy new Batman on my PS4 (which is actually the best version of game) or to wait for buying new NVIDIA graphic card for PC and get Batman Arkham Knight for free by NVIDIA special offer. NVIDIA have special event that if you buy specific powerfull GTX series graphic card, you get free copy of Batman: Arkham Knight. I have decided to wait for new card and three weeks after release of Batman I finally got my new GeForce GTX 960 with Batman: Arkham Knight. I was expecting a lot of troubles but honestly, I dont see that crazy PC rating there, because game is freaking amazing now. It no longer runing at 30 FPS but it was patched and now it is pretty stable running at smooth 60 FPS and game looks incredible. Graphics are great on PC, gameplay on mouse sucks so gamepad is must have stuff (Im using my old PS3 controllet and works perfect). Batman on PC is now working so dont believe that crazy Metacritic rating, in current state it is solid 7 or 8. I have played for ten hours and I have experience only single crash during loading and a few lags during jumping out of my batmobile but I have really smooth experience.

But game is also getting negative reviews because it is very diferent from previous games. Not only by the fact that there is freaking Batmobile but just story itself is problem for some. Batman: Arkham Knight is diferent and some people hate these diferencies. Like Batmobile, there are a lot of people who hate Batmobile because there is too much combat with tank drones and also that Batmobile can kill people which isnt true. If you try to shoot people with cannon, it will automaticaly switch guns to Riot Suppressor - similar in appearance to Mk 19 grenade launcher; fires non-lethal plastic rounds at human targets inflicting mild trauma. If you try to roadkill somebody, guy get paralized by electricity and thrown away from Batmobile. Also I love design of new Batmobile, it looks amazing.

Combat in Batmobile is also great way to take a break from fist fights, you will be fighting with drones of various types, and chasing criminal cars.

Combat as Batman is very same as in previous games. But graphics in this game are amazing, this game is good example how to do next-gen. You can destroy a lot of enviroment with your Batmobile or just doing fist fights with enemies. And that destructions look so realistic, so good, I found myself driving around Gotham and just randomly crashing to cars, walls, pillars to just see how amazing this next-gen stuff looks.

Almost all problems with game on PC are patched so there is no other reason to not to buy it on PC, you will experience occasionally some FPS drops but nothing major. This game just proved that Rocksteady need to take a break from Batman and do something different. But for me, this game was that promised epic conclusion of series.
