10 "Hated" Video Games You Should Play In 2019

2. Batman: Arkham Knight

Much like its Nolan movie trilogy counterpart, Arkham Knight started to suffer from the law of diminishing returns by its third offering.

The biggest problem though? Too much bloat detracting from the core game. The most egregious part being the many, many tank battles in the Batmobile. Fans wanted the 'mobile to hoon about in, not play a bastardised version of Armoured Core.

Batman, fundamentally, is a crime fighting detective, not a mecha pilot. Also, what's riddling about an underground time trail race, eh? Exactly.

But when AK puts that aside and remembers its a Batman game, it's glorious. Continuing where Arkham City left off, the Dark Knight meets his match and faces a tough battle. A gripping story, more refined hand to hand combat, and a twist that you may or not have figured out, it had a lot going for it. Dig through the bloat, and it's worth playing for the glimmer of diamonds in the rough.

Probably best to avoid the PC version though.
