killamch89 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 As a massive fan of the Batman Arkham series, this has to be one of the few superhero games that I can say is comparable to some of the best games ever released. The story is amazing (no surprise there, I mean it's about Batman), The gameplay is very fluid and is challenging ( A lot of superhero games usually mess up in the gameplay department but the Arkham series does a very good job of letting you feel like Batman) and the mini-games are pretty interesting and unique. My favorite pick for the best of the entire series has to go to Arkham city, just because of the gameplay features (driving the Batmobile and swinging and gliding throughout the city gives the purest form of the Batman experience and the story was very gripping from start to finish. Which Arkham game is your favorite and why? kingpotato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpotato Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Arkham city is the best one, Arkham asylum is good and introduce us to the game mechanics but the finale was shit. Arkham Knight was okay I guess, not bad but not memorable except for the Batmobile, and I feel like Arkham city has more like a comic book vibe and Arkham knight feels like a movie adaptation. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they did miss out some of the gadgets such as the robot suit and the jetpack but I'm satisfied otherwise with Arkham City. If they ever plan to make another Batman game ever again, I hope they make you be able to play as both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 I did remember about Batman Arkham Origins but we will just treat it like the black sheep of the family - act like it didn't exist. 🤣 Honestly, it felt more like an Arkham city DLC than an addition to the series. They re-used a lot of assets from Arkham city and most of the gameplay mechanics but the game was plagued with some serious glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I didn't enjoy playing Arkham Origins, well it was not made by the same developer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure i can think of any other superhero series I've played where it immersed you into the world of a particular superhero quite like the Arkham series. You'll enjoy it for sure except maybe Origins because it's shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I’ve played the first two Batman games thoroughly. I preferred the more linear nature of the first one, personally. Loved the creepy Croc fight in the sewers. The final boss was a wee bit of a letdown, though. Overall, I think Arkham Asylum is my fave. Couldn’t get into Arkham Knight. I’ve heard Origins is surprisngly decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I even call it shit is because it's not as good as the others which are great games in their own right and for the most part, it feels more like an expansion of Arkham city than a completely different game. The multiplayer mode is crap though - just putting it out there. 11 hours ago, DylanC said: I’ve played the first two Batman games thoroughly.

It's like an Arkham City DLC than a full-blown game in its own right and the problems that plagued Origins at launch also helped to solidify its position as the worst one.

Sounds like it might be decent then. lol I am so used to people exaggerating on the internet since a lot of games I love are being called trash.
