For the first two Arkham games, the ideal way to play was on PC. Boasting superior graphics and wickedly smooth framerates, Arkham Asylum and Arkham City's PC ports were lauded in their day.

The same, sadly, cannot be said for the PC port of Arkham Knight, which was so riddled with game-breaking bugs and glitches that the whole thing had to be recalled by Rocksteady for heavy patching.

Today, it functions perfectly fine for the most part. Enough patches have been implemented that the worst of the glitches found in the game's initial release have been eliminated. However, while your average playthrough of Arkham Knight will be without any major bugs or glitches, the framerate is only marginally better than what you'd get on PS4. Compare this to previous entries, which ran rings around their console counterparts.

The fixes implemented by Rocksteady helped out a lot, but Arkham Knight's PC port still remains the black sheep out of the Arkham Trilogy on PC.
