Specifically, Batman: Arkham Collection sits in sixth place in the UK and ninth place in the US right now, placing it above the likes of Baldur's Gate 3, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Hogwarts Legacy in one or both countries.
It goes without saying that Batman: Arkham Collection makes up an incredible selection of three classics that you should definitely try if you're interested, with the downside being that none of these games were ever FPS Boosted for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Worse still, the Xbox One X version that the collection received in 2018 was such a let down that Digital Foundry called it "the most disappointing Xbox One X upgrade we've seen".
If you're willing to deal with all of that, Batman: Arkham Collection is still 100% worth your time in 2024. Rocksteady's focus is obviously now on the upcoming release of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, but it's these three Batman games that originally put the developer on the map - and for extremely good reason!
Arkham Knight - Batmobile-shaped warts and all - is my favourite of the Rocksteady Arkham games. And play it on PC if you can. Slightly iffy character models aside, at 4K with max settings at 60fps that game still looks phenomenal even today ?
I hate the frame pacing on Arkham asylum to the point I wish they just allow me to just use the xbox one s version with the 30 fps cap. It doesn't matter now as I bought the pc version on steam and those run 60 fps on a potato these days outside of arkham knight.
I bought it last time it was on sale played asylum and going tru Arkham city now there just great games the frame rate and everything else doesn't effect me enjoying the games although they could of done made it much better than it ended up
Reading some of the previews for the game, it's quite clear that Suicide Squad will need more than just focus from Rocksteady'. I can't believe they went from the Arkam Trilogy to this..
Replayed Arkham City again last year and it still reigns supreme. By far the best super hero game made to date. The overall tone, gameplay, characters, dialogue, etc. are unmatched imo. A true classic if I have ever seen one. Too bad it was all downhill from there for Rocksteady.
@Kaloudz These Batman games give off the Nolan movie vibe more than a cartoon version. Yes I played them and really enjoyed and really think if Enzo wore a cowl that you would be in a AC game at times. Arkham Knights has more of the Batmobile arcade car driving aspect at times. If you did enjoy then you would really enjoy them. I do prefer Marvel but Batman is the King of DC for me.
Loved these games at launch and still do. Still hold up imo. Asylum my fave I think. Always preferred Batman to Spiderman. Batman is a lot darker and more 'adult ' imo whereas SM is very kid friendly.
No real 60fps without the disc and No Arkham Origins still pisses me off to this day (Especially because it is THE BEST Arkham game and the multiplayer was so fun, rip).
It's really a crime these games were released in such a state.
@Tharsman I replayed Asylum, City, and Origins this year, and I think the biggest hit against Origins is how pretty much everything in the game in clearly copied from Arkham City. I don't think it deserves the hate it got, but Arkham City was a 10/10 when it came out, and Origins was more like a 7.5/10. I also had quite a few bugs with Origins, while City worked perfectly.
@Sol4ris from what I played last month, Kill the Justice League isn't something I'll be looking at when it releases. It was actually sad to see how far Rocksteady has sunk in the 8-9 years since Arkham Knight.
