Makes for a pretty good Christmas game, however. The reception to this one is more mixed, and it’s not quite on the same tier as Rocksteady’s games. Developed by WB Montréal instead of Rocksteady, it’s a prequel to Arkham Asylum that doesn’t feature Paul Dini as writer, nor Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy as the voices of The Joker and Batman, respectfully. Featuring stealth gameplay, free-flow combat, and Batman's famed arsenal of gadgets, the genuine Arkham experience is reproduced in a deep, action packed side-scrolling adventure. Whether Arkham Asylum or Arkham City is better is a contentious argument we won’t get into (it’s Asylum), but all three are worth your time for some caped crusasing.īatman: Arkham Origins, then, is a bit of an odd duck. A companion game to Batman: Arkham Origins, players can continue the storyline of the console version and discover more details of the Dark Knight's past. Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, and Batman: Arkham Knight are the main attraction, a trilogy developed by Rocksteady Studios that gets grander as it goes. The quadrilogy was quietly included in a listicle on the site, revealing that fans can now purchase the detective games alongside a host of other Dark Knight misadventures.

The entire Batman Arkham series of action-adventure games is now available DRM free through the GOG store. Some of the most beloved Batman videogames have made their way to GOG.
