More about Batman™: Arkham Knight

Of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 10 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2025 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 1,949 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 6,083 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

17.2 hours to finish it, 51 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.0 times the campaign.

161,598 reviews stand behind that percentage.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.
