The Dark Knight's final outing might remain a burning dumpster fire on PC, but the PS4 version is squeaky clean; a perfectly-playing extravaganza of Batsuit'd escapism, brought to you by the masters of the superhero genre themselves.

Combat is the best third-person action ever put to code; giving you the ability to break bones, dismantle firearms, introduce guards' faces to various light fixtures or fuse boxes, and deploy the entire Bat-belt's worth of gadgets in quick succession. At this stage the biggest upgrade was the visuals when it comes to innovating on what went before, but Arkham Knight is one of the most crunchy and satisfying third-person action/stealth titles money can buy.

It's true there are a myriad of things fans have taken issue with when it comes to how the main villain's identity is unveiled and the overuse of the tank-like Batmobile, but for anyone who doesn't know their League of Shadows from their League of Assassins, they'll have a blast regardless.

Batman: Arkham Knight is available to buy over at Amazon.
