Batman: Arkham Knight is a letdown on several fronts. While it sports some terrific highlights, the majority of the campaign is trite, while anything ancillary to that is downright vapid. The overbearing emphasis on the shoddy Batmobile is distasteful (how on Earth did Batman even cope without it before, since it’s crucial to literally everything here?), and the stimulation of “being the bat” just doesn’t have the same jolt it used to.
The frankly embarrassing state of the PC version pushes things over the edge, however, turning a passable action game into something that really should be avoided for the foreseeable future. While it’s still playable, and even enjoyable in a fair few instances, its baseline problems combined with the PC’s unique setbacks make Arkham Knight fit for the price drop list.
But hey, at least there’s plenty of DLC coming. Priorities, right?

I would also add Risk of Rain 2 as long as you don't stray too far from a power source as each run can be long as the hours melt away. Another thing to note is that based on the reports, the FPS may drop into the 40s if a lot of enemies are on the screen.
There is also the Half Life series. If you haven't played half-life before then you can do so now at the super low price.
Mafia was amazing looking and had a great story. Played flawlessly at 30fps as well without dips 99% of the time.
The same is true for Jedi Fallen Order
Sony games as also on sale. Picked up Rachet and Clank, cant wait to try it!

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.
Probably not very different.
No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!
It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...
It's a shame they cancelled the game. Definitely the best racing game I've ever played on Playstation. Just got GT7, but it feels so slow and less arcade-y, which is to be expected of a sim racer of course, that I just enjoy it less.
Driveclub also graphically looked insanely good for its time. I wonder what a Driveclub 2 would look like for the PS5.
Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
Bat mobile is actually rather easy to handle, and fun to drive, I am not even a driving fan. I imagine without it, we would be hearing loads of complaining about how Gotham is too big to traverse thru without any help. The bad PC port deserves to be called out for its shortcomings, but that doesn't make its console counterpart any less enjoyable. Game is great and RK defo took advantage of the new consoles power, if you are really tired of the Arkham series formula however, the game does little to change that.
Ewww. Jim Sterling.
His reviews are entertaining but I stopped taking his scores seriously.
I'm not giving you the pleasure of clicking your stupid review.
This review is for PC folks, it was barely workable when I downloaded it from steam, so 5/10 is a a fair score. Fortunately I got a refund and bought it for playstation, much better on that platform
I do disagree with his assertion that the Batmobile is complete trash. I enjoy the "racing" tracks, vehcile combat and traversing around the city with it, perhaps the technical issues just made it hard for him to like anything from this game
5/10 is a fair score. He was playing it on the PC. So maybe the experience itself made him give it a 5. I really like this game but personally it's just a 7.5 for me. It did not blow me away like The Witcher or Bloodborne did. It's like i was playing Arkham City again.. with a car.
