15 Essential PS4 Games Every New Owner Must Play

12. Batman: Arkham Knight

There's a distinction to be drawn between crafting a Batman story for the fans, and one for a wider audience, as while I - and many other hardcore fans - would say Arkham Knight's various "Who's the Arkham Knight?" story beats are blatantly obvious from the get-go, it's still an incredibly well-playing game that got way too much negative press back at launch.

Even the maligned Batmobile sections are brilliant fun for the most part, providing you can suspend your disbelief that all those mangled car wrecks are filled with 'unconscious' perps. There's simply no better sensation of 'being the Batman' (in the suit anyway, Telltale's series has nailed the Bruce Wayne side of that coin) than solving crimes and bringing down notable criminals, all before firing your grapple to the sky and soaring off into the night sky.

Oh, and it looks absolutely stunning.
