Batman: Arkham Shadow is an action-adventure video game played from a first-person perspective. In the game, the player assumes control of Batman who must stop a new villain called the Rat King from unleashing chaos in the city. The rhythmic, free-flow combat from the previous games returns in Shadow, allowing Batman to attack, stun and counter. Combining these three main abilities can keep Batman attacking while moving between enemies and avoiding being attacked himself. The stealth predator sections are also back. Batman can activate Detective Vision to identify the locations and the patrol patterns of all enemies in an area, and stealth tactics such as silent takedowns, inverted takedowns and hiding in grates can be used against armed enemies. He also has a large arsenal of tools, such as smoke bombs and batarangs to aid combat. The game's structure is similar to that of Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009), in which Batman explores a series of large but confined spaces. Batman can glide from heights using his cape, and use his grapple gun to climb onto higher ledges. As players progress, they will gain new gadgets and tools, enabling them to open up new paths to reach previously inaccessible areas.

It's a genuine surprise how good this game was, though I should have expected it from the team behind Iron Man VR. An interesting and tragic look into the friendship of Bruce and Harvey, along with the tragedies which would lead Dent to becoming the notorious Two-Face. Now i'm just angry we didn't get nearly the same level of quality storytelling from Rocksteady's own Suicide Squad.

Funnily enough this feels like a way better and more thought out 'who done it' story than Arkham Knight in my opinion. It feels so refreshing to have a Batman game where Batman is being a detective, and then having us put together everything with him through the genuinely tragic story of Bruce and Harvey. It makes everything feel so much more natural when at the heart of the story we see his slow descent into Two Face, but just like Bruce never truly put it together until it's way too late.
@Burning-TwilightАй бұрын
@@Zeromaru42 Batman's best stories from the comics tend to always be when we see him use his detective skills in action. Some writers tend to focus too much on the action and drama parts of his career, which aren't bad per se but it can feel like writers don't want to focus on him being a detective at all.

Judging by the voice casting, Barbara walking, and Harvey's origin revealed, I deduce that this game's events take place between Origins and Asylum. I must say having Shrike, Ratcatcher, Ventriloquist, Bronze Tiger, and Carmine "The Roman" Falcone appear is pretty cool, plus lead-ups to Harley Quinn and Scarecrow. By the way, the password "Louisa", that's Catwoman's mother's name if you know Long Halloween. I still can't even begin to describe how I felt seeing Joe Chill like this. In most stories, Bruce never gets to meet the man who turned his life into a constant war.

Malone is the surname of one Bruce's criminal cover identities: the alias is Matches Malone. There's a story where he gets amnesia and had to piece everything back together but had to come up with a name for himself. He'd eventually use the alias with accompanying disguises wheneve he does street recon. He even made sure his cover was watertight so he did some petty crimes to make a name for himself.

Personally I’m giving this game (from cutscenes alone) a solid 7/10. The story was pretty good and the reveal at the end was definitely a surprise. That being said my biggest complaint is the handling of Harley Quinn. There seems to be a lot of praising of her character in this film, despite a scene where it’s clear she’s unhinged and presumably dangerous. I don’t know if it’s due to how much of the character we’ve gotten as of recently but I found it very irritating how much Bruce and Alfred talked about how wonderful she is and how she’s such a misunderstood soul. Another issue I had was the court scene where Harvey becomes two face. Don’t know if I just prefer other versions but something about Bruce doing it ( accidentally) felt kinda odd. Even the telltale game where you can argue it’s Bruce fault, he wasn’t the one to do it but it was a result of him trying to protect everyone on his own. With all that said I still enjoyed it.
