#BATMAN RETURN TO ARKHAM PS4#
PS4 to PS5: All Games with Confirmed Free Upgrades New PS5, PS4 Games This Week (27th February to 5th March) Maybe in a few years they'll make a complete collection, but I wouldn't count on that. As I said above, these are two excellent games that have barely been remastered at all, so it's pretty much only for people who haven't played the games before or just really want to play them on I imagine they didn't include Origins because it's technically not a Rocksteady game, but it's quite disappointing that it isn't present.
Still, like I said, both are excellent Pretty much.
#BATMAN RETURN TO ARKHAM UPDATE#
I understand that both of these games are excellent, but the main selling point (and actual point) of remasters is that they're supposed to graphically update older games, and Return to Arkham pretty much failed on that. However, if you've played Aslyum and City to death and haven't played Knight, then you should probably get Knight if you're looking for something While I agree that both games are 8/9s out of 10, I gave this a 7 because for a remaster, it's quite lacking in the graphical and technical department. It's hard to fault either Asylum or City - they're both far better than Knight - and you'll also get much more value from Return to Arkham than Knight. Couple two of the greatest superhero games of all time with their DLC, and you get a lot of bang for your buck here. Conclusionīatman: Return to Arkham isn't the greatest ever remaster, but the price offers excellent value and the gameplay of both Asylum and City still hold up. In fact, there are instances where the change in lighting and colouring ruins the moody aesthetic of the previous-gen versions, though this is off-set by some improved texture work here and there.įortunately, technically, the game is sound – once again, Arkham City especially, which feels more smooth and fluid than Asylum – and speaking of sound, the audio design of both games is excellent, with outstanding voice acting and an excellent atmosphere. While developer Virtuos has managed to port both games into Unreal Engine 4, neither entry looks the better for it. Of course, since Return to Arkham is a remaster, we have to talk about graphics and technical stuff, which is arguably the biggest shortcoming of this game.
#BATMAN RETURN TO ARKHAM PLUS#
Sure, the fundamentals are the same, but playing as Catwoman plays very differently to Batman, as does Batman to Nightwing, plus the storytelling in each DLC is as good as that in the base game. Not only that, but the DLCs (for Arkham City especially) add something that most DLCs don't: a completely new way of playing. If you haven't already guessed, there's a lot of replayability in this remaster.
#BATMAN RETURN TO ARKHAM SERIES#
Exploring the open worlds of both Asylum and City (the latter especially) can lead to masses of secrets, Easter eggs, and backstory components that give the Arkham series its excellent personality. What's best about Return to Arkham, though, is the pure attention to detail that Rocksteady applied to the games. While the gameplay isn't quite timeless and does have a few bugs – mostly clipping issues – Return to Arkham feels surprisingly fresh for a seven-year-old franchise. Traversal still feels good too: gliding is responsive, using the grappling hook isn't frustrating and is really quick to use, and overall it's pretty easy to stay stealthy or evade enemies thanks to the excellent movement responsiveness. Combos are easy to string together but hard to develop, making the moment when you pull off a perfect varied combo seem all the more satisfying. Sure, the way Batman slides along the floor when performing combos is a little goofy – and the fact that so many games have based their combat off of Arkham's fighting system does make it seem a little dated – but punching up thugs as the Caped Crusader still feels powerful, with thumps crunching and goons reeling as you pummel them. The Batman: Arkham series has housed some of the best superhero games of all time – Spider-Man 2 and perhaps Deadpool aside – so it's easy to see why Warner Bros and Rocksteady decided to return to Arkham with, er, Batman: Return to Arkham.Ĭonsisting of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City (along with all DLC), right off the bat it's hard to ignore that Return to Arkham is excellent value £30 may seem a bit much for two old games, but considering they're both damn fine action games and have stonking amounts of replayability, the price is justifiable to most.
