"There’s only so much that the excellent Arkham Asylum and Arkham City can do for this remaster collection, however. It should have been an easy slam dunk: port the game over to the Unreal Engine 4, apply some polish, maybe through in some behind-the-scenes features, and profit! Instead, what we end up with is a poorly-optimized port which sees even the older Arkham Asylum stuttering from the game’s first moments, and some odd lighting that cuts into the otherwise excellent ambiance of both games. Then there’s the glaring omission of Batman: Arkham Origins. It all adds up to feeling like an unfinished product. If you already have both Asylum and City on their original platforms, you can safely skip this re-release."

About
Batman: Return to Arkham - Arkham City is a follow-up to the Batman games that set a high bar for the genre. Play as the Caped Crusader in a massive, walled-off section of the city teeming with enemies and secrets. Use brutal hand-to-hand combat, detective skills, and gadget-based takedowns to dismantle criminal operations. The game lets you grapple between buildings, solve environmental puzzles, and face off against iconic villains in both combat and story. The game's strength lies in its combat system and roster of antagonists. Players encounter Joker, Bane, and Riddler, each with unique challenges. It refines earlier mechanics with tighter controls and varied mission types. With over 20 hours of content and a story connecting multiple Batman arcs, it remains a strong entry for fans. Community ratings highlight its polish, though some note it lacks the originality of its predecessors.
