What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
June 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. 88 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 14 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition ($19.99, scores 78) beats it on value, while it beats Batman™: Arkham Origins ($19.99, scores 66).
Of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 11 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2025 to August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,221 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,680 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 6,063 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Almost everything about Batman Arkham Knight is perfect. The story, combat, atmosphere, and gameplay make it one of the best superhero games ever made. However the mandatory and tedious Riddler puzzles are a major downside and can make the experience feel like a chore. Despite that, the game is still an incredible Batman experience that I would highly recommend 8/10 the Riddler puzzles are the only thing holding it...
One of the best "git gud" games I've played. Surprised it also doesn't have the "overwhelmingly positive" status of the previous 2. Better graphics than the past 2 games. Animations are very well done and combat flows like water once you master it. Finding all the collectables was both a chore and rewarding at the same time as you need the XP to get upgrades for Batman. In terms of grind I could only give a sigh of...

Batman™: Arkham Knight scores 72/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/208650/batman-arkham-knightThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 1, price as of Sep 24.
