Top 10 Best Batman Video Games
Batman: Arkham City has the most beautiful levels, allowing Batman to utilize all the Bat gadgets and technology. Including this game in their collections was a great decision by Sony for their eighth-generation consoles. Batman can explore areas never thought of before in the gaming industry at these levels. He can enter a structure and find a whole new area, using strategic elements to defeat the criminals of Gotham City.
Batman is also akin to the Phantom of the Opera, knowing the city inside and out, representing the force of good and light despite his dark costume. Conquer Arkham, live as Batman, and then improve the game. The best game ever bought is Batman: Arkham City.
It's a different Batman experience from the others: a linear game where you play an excellent storyline, solve Riddler puzzles, find easter eggs, and uncover the story of Amadeus Arkham. After finishing a level in a building, you can visit the Joker in the visitors' room.
All this in a linear play from start to finish:
- Dark atmosphere
- Play as Joker
- Nice challenges in the DLC pack
- Can be played in 3D
This is one of the best Batman games ever, just inferior to Origins and Knight.
Arkham City was great, but nothing will ever beat the original one. I had more fun taking down goons and solving puzzles. It should be number one.
Best Arkham game without a doubt, and possibly the best game ever. The story and side missions were perfected, including the "Season of Infamy," and all felt very urgent, set in a new PS4 open world called Gotham City. The DLC, settings, graphics, free roaming, atmosphere, and all those elements are superbly done. The story was very mature and felt like a psychological thriller! The only weaknesses were the excessive Batmobile sections and the weak boss fights. 9.5.
In my opinion, the second best is Origins, followed by Asylum in third, for being a linear and compact Batman game with dark but brilliant pacing, and finally City. Don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed the game, but I think it's not as good as the others and is literally overrated (JUST MY OPINION).
Why the best?
1. Angry and rough Batman (he's more like a real human than the icon of pop culture)
2. Believable story (nice criminal plot without any "laughing gas" or other crazy stuff)
3. Brutal and cool-looking villains (the best Joker, really)
4. One of the best in-game menu designs (bloody, stylish, almost B&W, nicely graphical)
5. Believable and more vertical city (from run-down districts to high-in-the-sky skyscrapers)
THIS is the best Batman game. It captures the technique that Batman isn't all about crime fighting. He is the world's greatest detective as well. I believe this game balances both aspects better than Asylum, Knight, and City. So, I believe this to be the best Batman game to date.
This game didn't get enough attention. It was actually a pretty good game. I would say it's the Arkham Asylum of the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube.
Quite a good film adaptation, but not as good as the Arkham and Telltale series.
It is like the Arkham games but with some differences that are better.
Possibly has the most unique and sympathetic take on the Joker yet. Truly underrated.
I love this game, and I wish there would've been a third part of the game series!
This is undoubtedly one of my favorite superhero and LEGO games of all time, with a great cast of characters, a good story, and an amazing character customization system.
Extremely great game with a large cast of characters. The game also looks really good compared to the first one.
You can be Alfred and drive a school bus. Enough said.
Probably the best in the LEGO series, never mind the LEGO Batman trilogy.
This was the first Batman game I played, and I remember it being awesome at the time, but the new ones surpass it by far.
The Newcomers
The first Batman story that made me enjoy the Bruce scenes more than the Batman ones.
The Arkham series is amazing with its saga to explore. It's a highly successful series with beautiful renditions and free landscapes to grapple with. There are at least five of these, a beautiful idea for the Batman franchise. I am confident that 'Return to Arkham' will not disappoint, based on the Arkham series so far and the fine finish of each installment. Pretty darn cool.
It's good, fun, and has better graphics than the original Batman Arkham games: Batman Arkham Asylum and Batman Arkham City.
