Why I won't 100 percent Arkham Knight

I loved Batman: Arkham Knight. I truly did.

I loved feeling like a complete bad ass by performing fear multistrikes. I loved gliding around the rain soaked streets of Gotham. Hell, I even (for the most part) loved speeding around the city in the fan polarizing batmobile.

However, I will not be completing everything.

Currently, after finishing all of the main story missions and a handful of side quests, I sit at 74 percent completion.

I don't plan on raising that.

In fact, I don't plan on playing Arkham Knight until the next DLC releases.

That doesn't change the fact that I think the game is great, however.

It's kind of like taking a trip to your favorite amusement park with a group of friends on a hot July day. Sure, for the first six hours, you're having a blast. Soaking up laughs with your friends, riding your favorite coasters and even stuffing your mouth like a fat kid.

However, after multiple rides on several of the park's best coasters, you're feeling tired. Your trio of friends, though, insists on staying until the very last minute the park is open.

Arkham Knight's slew of Riddler puzzles, multiple secure checkpoints and extra tank missions are that group of friends. Poking and proding you to stay for just a few more hours. But you simply can't bear to walk another step or ride another ride. It doesn't diminish the fantastic time you've had, but staying any later just might do so.

So you leave.

I'm leaving. But I'm leaving satisfied. I feel as if I've gotten all that I needed from the streets of Gotham. In my opinion, 200+ Riddler trophies are a bit too much to ask of players.

Obviously, there will be those who wish to complete every single challenge that Rocksteady has to offer and to them I say, more power to you.

Certainly, there are games that I have played to death to unlock every nook and cranny (I'm looking at you, Fable 2 and Fallout 3). But, that completionist mindset is likely not on the minds of most players. The same principle is at work here- I loved Arkham Knight for the 10-15 hours I spent with it, but I simply don't want to go any further.

I rate Arkham Knight an 8.75 on a 10 point scale and it is definitely worth putting some time into, particularly if you are a fan of the previous Arkham games or Batman in general.

Few games nail the feeling of being Batman quite like Arkham Knight does. Just don't let yourself grow to despise all that there is to do after the dust settles in the dark of Gotham.

If you've stopped Scarecrow, unmasked the Arkham Knight and put away all the criminals that you WANT to, you are done and should wait for the next crop of DLC to spin the disc again.

After all, a good hero knows when to bow and walk away.
