Welcome to the Mad House – these are the words that the Joker greets our main character at the beginning of the game. And really, isn’t he right? Haven’t you been waiting for this? And it came out! Meet the game that is unlikely to be surpassed by other games in this fandom – meet Batman: Return to Arkham, a collection of reissues! Even better, even higher bar, even more hours in your favorite game… Don’t think about whether you need this game or not. If you found yourself on this page, it means that fate itself ordered you to go through it! And she deserves it. You deserve it. There are actually many games in the DC comics universe, but it has long been recognized by a large number of gamers and critics around the world that Batman games are the best. And here is a hodgepodge of updated games. You will enjoy not only their passage (or replay), but also the comparison of the schedule – the difference is noticeable. Now let’s move on to a more detailed description of this collection of games.

Game process

What is the gameplay of this game? You probably already know that the DC Batman games are action movies. Moving forward in the story, you have to fight a lot with a wide variety of enemies and opponents. During the battle, you can use many abilities from your arsenal. Since the collection includes games called Arkham City and Arkham Azilum, you will have access to all the abilities and devices that appeared in these parts in terms of gameplay. This, for example, is a remote electric discharge, which allows you to shoot a high-voltage electric discharge at some kind of electricity-powered structure or at an enemy, but if you decide to use it as a weapon, then you should know that as a weapon, a remote electric discharge is not so effective, like something more lethal. We think it’s not necessary to talk about the plot, because for a long time – after all, this is a collection of several games, and their plot cannot fit in two lines – it will be just disrespectful to the series – to omit so many details (in fact, the author of the article simply cannot compose the plot in a couple of sentences, because they don’t know how to briefly highlight the main thing).

And in general, it is worth saying that the developers of this series (meaning, not the developers of the collection, but the games themselves) are one of those who really work on their mistakes, so finding flaws in their games … it will be difficult for you. Batman knows how to fight with both fists and weapons, and you just can’t resist getting beaten up by someone – preferably in large numbers, because the way our protagonist sends them either to a long knockout or to endless sleep, looks very, very impressive. In short, the gameplay is an exciting walk through haunted places like prisons, gloomy streets, abandoned buildings, and battles with mere mortals and supervillains, while communicating with numerous characters that are impossible to forget.

Graphics

Since the collection most of all holds graphics by the meaning of itself, it is simply necessary to say a few words about it. The visual style of the game is greatly improved, literally polishing the textures and giving realism to what needs it. Thanks to improved graphics, the environment looks even more atmospheric, and you feel the spirit of the location. Faces have become even more “alive”, mobile – facial expressions are very important when we talk about characters such as the Joker, for example. The animation, of course, has also been slightly improved, and impressive finishing angles remain as epic as before.
