In Arkham City, it’s probably more apparent than in any of the other Arkham games. The moment you start playing these games, you can see their respect, love, and devotion to the source material in spades. But what is it that made the game so good? As we have been doing for several games over the past few weeks, in this feature, we’ll be taking a look at what we feel are the three core elements that made Batman: Arkham City as good as it was- starting with authenticity.īecause really, that is the greatest strength of not just Arkham City, but the entire Arkham series. With a Metacritic score of 94 (96 on PS3), multiple Game of the Year awards under its belt, impressive sales, and an unforgettable legacy, Arkham City is widely considered one of the best games of the PS3/Xbox 360 era, if not of all time. When developers get things as spectacularly right as Rocksteady did with Arkham Asylum, it’s hard to make a sequel that manages to be even better, but with Arkham City, that is exactly what Rocksteady Studios did. Taking the formula of what made Arkham Asylum so good and expanding upon it in every way possible surely would have been no easy task. And while both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City can arguably stake their claim to the throne of best Batman game of all time, the one we’re concerned with here, in this feature, is Arkham City.

The Arkham series is one that can make a claim that very few other series can- it’s got four mainline title, and every one of them is – at the very least – a great game. That all changed with Batman: Arkham Asylum, when Rocksteady Studios – then a largely unknown studio with no track record to speak of – delivered one of the best, most authentic Batman experiences, and showed the industry that audiences were hungry for well-made superhero games. We’d get the occasional good superhero game ever now and then, but by and large, superhero games were either fun yet forgettable at best, or absolutely horrible at worst. The sequel to Spider-Man is going to be one to keep an eye on, the next Batman game (whenever it arrives) is sure to get a lot of people stand up and take notice, whatever Rocksteady Studios are working on next is going to be a big deal, while the upcoming Avengers game is one that many are cautiously excited about as well.īut though superhero games are in a great place right now, until not too long ago, the best we could hope for in this area was middling games. Superhero games are in a great place right now, and people have plenty of great video game adaptations to play, and even more to look forward.
