Not to mention the asylum itself which I’d say accurately captures the essence of what a taken-over asylum would feel like

[@nikgokuhil]

I personally put Arkham Asylum at the top for it made you feel as you were part of an Batman episode from animated series. While we faced many villains, it still managed to be a more focused game featuring Joker as main bad guy. I find a certain richness in such a game and would've loved more episodes like these Rest of the games felt more like Dark Knight Trilogy movies (which again is a huge compliment) but in the game the games were a bit too scattered with all the side missions and it was always the city destroying level threat. I do love the grandness of scale we got to playthrough but its also like when asking for a more beautiful garden, they increased the size of the garden rather than the beauty of it. Another way to look at it would be like asylum was more horror genre game in comparison like early Resident Evil games while others were more of later RE games where zombies are just a target for you Saying that, I really appreciated the upgrades in many gadgets and playing as Catwoman was honestly pretty amazing!

[@samuraigames4125]

It's so crazy that origins is my favorite game. It's just too good bro, the boss fights were perfect, in my opinion they portrayed the beginning of batman too well and it was just so perfect, the beginning of batman and how aggressive he is, he is so angry and young. And using roger was the best option for a younger batman, the beginning of a relationship with the villians and batman and them beginning to fear him and especially the relationship with bane or joker with batman. They portrayed the beginning of a great rivalry between joker and batman just too good. And then you can see that the joker will start to know batman better and he knows his weaknesses, like he didn't know that batmam would not kill anyone and he tried to break him. So joker was the best in origins and had the best design as a younger joker. The story was perfect, especially bane and batman and how they knew each other. I love origins and I don't care what anyone says, it is so underrated just because of a stupid reason that rocksteady didn't make it. The Deathstroke and bane boss fights still gives me chills till this day, they don't appreciate this game much. It's definitely top 2. I understand opinions but they really should pay attention to this game more. That mission in the hotel royale is still the best mission in the series. It was perfect how you go from the sewers to the hotel and you do detective and predator stuff and you see the joker scene where he kills electrocutioner and you get his gloves, and you have to make your way up to the hotel, it was perfect. And then going to the bane fight while joker is watching. And you go save joker and actually this game really did the backstory of batman and joker justice. You can see how deep joker is. That's why I just love origins, and to point out origins was the first arkham game I played that's why I love it, it introduced me to the series. And it's the prequel so it was perfect to play first. The best joker, the best boss fights, the best character designs, the best character development, the best incantation of the villians, the perfect song, the best bruce wayne and Alfred portrayel. Hating this game is a crime.

My list completely changes all of the time, so I can’t ever really state a set list. Sometimes Origins is my favorite solely because of its esthetic and story, sometimes Asylum is my favorite because it feels just like an episode out of the Animated Series, sometimes it’s Arkham Knight because of its incredible finale and the best free flow and predator in the series. Sometimes it’s City for the fact that it excels in all of the levels mentions previously, but isn’t quite as good in some of those fields as the others in the series.

[@PyroNexus22]

Arkham Asylum was mindblowing when it came out. Such an atmospheric and polished experience that puts you in one of the most amazing locations in the Batman universe, and painstakingly recreates everything we loved about it. The whole journey is designed to constantly surprise you and immerse you in the setting. Every gameplay mechanic is built for this type of game. Don't get me wrong, Arkham City is an amazing game that indeed expands on a lot of what made Asylum great. But in that expansion it looses the claustrophobic and tightly designed experience that the first game provided. It becomes more of a blockbuster. The best comparison I can think of is Alien to Aliens. I always preferred the original Alien, but most people love Aliens. I can understand why, it's constantly tense and engaging with a very rewarding third act, but when it comes to atmosphere, it loses a lot of what made the original great. That being said, all 4 are among my favorite games of all time.

Knight: world Asylum: secrets and memories City: story Origins: boss fights

[@Great_Scott_]

City obviously has the worst story and writing. I'm beyond tired of people heaping so much undeserved praise on the most relatively disappointing video game sequel since God of War 2. It expanded the core gameplay from AA well in most ways. However, the implementation of armored enemies in combat and predator was a goofy and artificial way to try to make players use automatic/loud takedowns. The titans of Arkham Asylum were simple yet viscerally satisfying enemies to fight. But in AC you just perma-stun them and mash square while Batman's head and shoulders embarrassingly clip into him. Not all proper boss fights were winners, either. Grundy was a pseudo boss fight puzzle reminiscent of the lamest parts of God of War 2, and the actual one-on-one part of the fight with Ra's was a wholly inferior version of the battle with Poison Ivy in AA. By far the shortest campaign of the four main games. Everything involving Catwoman was mediocre at best and came in strange intervals. But that absolutely horrendous story is what cripples it. The writing is like sub-par fan-fiction (if I ever read fan-fiction). Overtly nonsensical plot holes, laughably contrived events and cringe-inducingly juvenile dialogue throughout. This is the norm, not the exception. It's thematically bankrupt as it pretends to be epic and profound with (admittedly) stirring music. Look, every Arkham game has some contrivances, but they're nowhere near as bad nor as widespread as in AC. Just about every aspect of the main story can be meticulously pulled apart. It's not in any way comparable to Dini's fantastic contributions to Batman: The Animated Series and its feature films. This is not the Mask of the Phantasm of gaming. I have to say that some of the side missions like Zsasz's phone calls were actually much, much better written. Some of the major plot twists were embarrassingly self-spoiled. We could see that there was a healthy-looking Joker that gassed Batman, the real Joker coughing as he's filming Clayface Joker, and we could see Clayface Joker facing the mirror and seeing the sick Joker. I don't know how any person could be surprised by the end reveal (attempted one, anyway). I will say that the challenge mode would've been easily the best of the series, but the absolutely scummy practice of carving out DLC character and challenge maps that could've been on the disc on day one, then selling them back to gamers. Each of the four main Arkham games are guilty of this to some degree, but City is absolutely the worst offender. To top it all off, we had to stare at a purple-caped Batman for the entire game the first time through (there is a cheat code to use alternate skins, but that wasn't known until months after the game released). As a game, I definitely prefer Arkham City over Arkham Origins. But the Arkham City I played is nowhere near deserving the praise it gets. I honestly thought I had a spoof copy of the game after the first time I played it.

GameTitan74 Knight was such a huge disappointment from City. So much build up from Arkham City like Hush, Scarecrow, Ra’s Al Ghul and none of them paid off in the end. The batmobile was forced down our throats and the limitless tank battles absolutely kills its replay value.

[@samuraigames4125]

It's so crazy that origins is my favorite game. It's just too good bro, the boss fights were perfect, in my opinion they portrayed the beginning of batman too well and it was just so perfect, the beginning of batman and how aggressive he is, he is so angry and young. And using roger was the best option for a younger batman, the beginning of a relationship with the villians and batman and them beginning to fear him and especially the relationship with bane or joker with batman. They portrayed the beginning of a great rivalry between joker and batman just too good. And then you can see that the joker will start to know batman better and he knows his weaknesses, like he didn't know that batmam would not kill anyone and he tried to break him. So joker was the best in origins and had the best design as a younger joker. The story was perfect, especially bane and batman and how they knew each other. I love origins and I don't care what anyone says, it is so underrated just because of a stupid reason that rocksteady didn't make it. The Deathstroke and bane boss fights still gives me chills till this day, they don't appreciate this game much. It's definitely top 2. I understand opinions but they really should pay attention to this game more. That mission in the hotel royale is still the best mission in the series. It was perfect how you go from the sewers to the hotel and you do detective and predator stuff and you see the joker scene where he kills electrocutioner and you get his gloves, and you have to make your way up to the hotel, it was perfect. And then going to the bane fight while joker is watching. And you go save joker and actually this game really did the backstory of batman and joker justice. You can see how deep joker is. That's why I just love origins, and to point out origins was the first arkham game I played that's why I love it, it introduced me to the series. And it's the prequel so it was perfect to play first. The best joker, the best boss fights, the best character designs, the best character development, the best incantation of the villians, the perfect song, the best bruce wayne and Alfred portrayel. Hating this game is a crime.

The more I play Arkham Origins the more I realize it is damn near a masterpiece. I honestly believe it's story beats every other Arkham game, it truly explained the origins of *everything*. Joker meeting Batman(a big one), how bane became so mutated, the reopening if Arkham asylum, Harley Quinn, how Joker took over the Sionis family mill, etc. Also, it presented a much younger, stubborn version of Batman who was prone to letting his emotions drive him and still felt that he could fight the entire world alone, which led to Alfred nearly being killed. I love the scenery as well, seeing Gotham covered in snow was different from the other games. I just love this game, I would call it perfect but I don't have the knowledge to make such a claim.

Origins is severely underrated. I’ve never understood why people almost universally say it’s the worst of the bunch. I loved playing that story set in the early days. Knight was still great but my least favorite of the bunch. Batmobile was a fun addition, and I even enjoyed the tank battles, but there were far too many of them.

Maybe Origins was a slightly stale cake because it sat out for a day or so, but it was cake all the same. Bad cake analogies aside, I'm actually really bummed that they haven't released Origins digitally for Xbox One. I hope they get around to it as I'd love to play it again.

[@rambichan5997]

I actually very much enjoyed knight. It definitely had its shortcomings story-wise (mediocre main campaign, unsatisfying conclusions to cliffhangers in City, weak villains) and the batmobile was used a bit much, it was still fantastic imo. The combat was at its peak in Knight. It was smooth, satisfying, and managed to sneak in additions to the already perfect system in City. And yes I know this is mostly because it was the only next gen title of the series, but only taking into account the gameplay, it was still the best. At the very least, it had the most going on, which is as as an improvement you can get with an already perfect system. The predator gameplay had the fear takedowns which gave you a greater advantage, but it also ditched some of the mechanics in City that made it easy, such as using batclaw to pull enemies off ledges (which was fun but broken). They also added the camo suits that detective mode couldn’t detect and the heavy machine gunners that added a layer of difficulty to it. A lot of people hated the batmobile, but for what it was, it was done extraordinarily well (albeit I admit it was overused). It handled well, and the encounters were satisfying and felt unique. I felt that it was a little inappropriate for huge boss fights, or at least the tank bosses should have been followed up with on an on foot finale, but it was still different enough to hold my attention and feel exciting. Finally, the presentation of the game was just amazing. Not just in the graphics, but the cinematography, the dialogue, and the character interactions. Even though the story itself wasn’t anything special, the game was still able to have impactful moments that came with a certain weight and urgency that should be present in the final game of a series. There was a newfound sense of finality and impending doom that the other games had but did not hit as well as in this game imo. Its a huge accomplishment on its own. Anyways my list is 1. City 2. Knight 3. Asylum 4. Origins Like the video said, even last place is a fantastic game, but I gotta defend knight.

However, the combat system is so janky compared to the other games. Only two gadgets that can be implemented into combat, and you're so exposed when you do. I'll push counter and still get hit, and even if I've pushed the strike button towards a thug, he'll be able to beat me to the punch almost every time. It's almost unbearable compared to the adjustments made in City and beyond.

That’s probably because they were both pretty young, joker in his early 30s and Batman in his mid 20s.

My ranking is this. 1: Arkham city. That one was my first, and the story in it was and still is amazing. I enjoyed the gadgets and the missions since it all tied into story progression. I think the Mr. Freeze fight is massively overrated though tbh, it was enjoyable sure but it wasn't at all as great for me as it seemed to have been for many others. I don't understand why people say the arkham games were lifeless, I found criminals almost everywhere I looked in detective mode and i could always intercept radio talks between the criminals. I also found alot of the other boss fights very enjoyable. 2: Arkham knight. It built on everything good I saw in city, I simply enjoyed the story a bit more in city. From a gameplay perspective I enjoyed Arkham knight way more, I love the batmobile and in all honesty didn't think it was overused at all, if anything I wanted more tanks on the streets and more control points on the roads and on rooftops. Like City, I didn't find it at all lifeless like so many claim it was, I could always see a group of bad guys just hanging around somewhere. The batmobile made added a brilliance to it as well since it meant they could put way more criminals on the streets, the batmobile meant you always had a means of avoiding the fight if it was too tough. The bosses here were also good, just not as good as City imo. 3: Arkham origins. Yeah I'm gonna catch shit for this but I really enjoyed origins, the emphasis on detective work was nice, the combat enjoyable as always, the stealth was neither too hard or too easy, the story enjoyable and the bosses were great, I actually enjoyed some of them a good bit more than I did the ones in City. 4: Arkham Asylum. In all honesty if I had played it when it first came out I might have enjoyed it more. Don't get me wrong, I like the game but it doesn't hold a candle to origins for me. It was the first entry and it laid the grounds for a great series, but the lack of freedom and the backtracking really didn't do it for me. It was a rather disappointing finishing boss as well. All great games and I enjoyed every single one.

while the final boss battle was a bit lackluster, the scarecrow battles was probably the best boss battle for me and made up for the final battle

[@identityman3247]

I found the toxic venom joker as the final boss on asylum as a pretty cool and wicked boss fight, lets be real, since when have you ever seen a big big monster like joker with a mohawk facing batman before?

[@andreasolsen1402]

@@identityman3247 don't get me wrong, it was a tad bit disappointing to me, but that's not because it was bad at all, it just wasn't what I wanted for a final showdown. I'm never gonna argue that the joker looked fucking badass in the final boss battle

[@andreasolsen1402]

@@spitzzy8089 the scarecrow battle was much like the Mr. Freeze one in city for me. Don't get me wrong, it was beautiful, creative and damn fun to play, but it seems others enjoyed it a bit more than I did. It was a truely great boss battle though

[@jonahd.536]

Arkham Origins was the first Arkham game I played, and I think it’s sorely underrated. It’s less good when put in context with the rest of the series, but as a stand-alone game it’s excellent.

[@dragonbane7973]

Yea feel the same it was one of the first batman games i played and really enjoyed it

[@mrf.7528]

Mad respect for you just for using the 1989 batman theme!

[@brucewayneproductions6804]

It's hard. Every game excels the others in a particular field. Origins in terms of boss fights, Knight in terms of an open world map, City for the compelling twists and turns in the plot, Asylum for a Halloween night (it's that darn spooky).

[@DDPunk18]

My list 1. Batman: Arkham City -It was the game that makes me feel like batman the most and also the game that got me into the amazing series! Ever since i got it, I’ve gotten every arkham game after that, starting with origins, I have also completed it 100%! All 440 riddles and extra! I’ve completed the game 22 times! I’m going to play it again for yt soon enough so I’m excited for that! One of the best game sequels ever 2. Arkham Asylum -I never knew this existed till after a while I completed origins, when I found out I got it straight away and it was a beauty! I be completed the game 100% aswell! Every time I play this game I feel like it’s better than city like it’s super hard 3. Arkham Origins -Great Game! Me and my friends think it it’s amazing, the online mode was great, wish they had more maps and modes tho but it’s great, still playing it on Xbox one. 4. Arkham Knight -Even tho it’s last, just like you it is still one of the best games ever, amazing game, I got it on the release date like I did with most games! Graphics are amazing! Side missions are good and overall really good, kinda wish its story and the identity of Arkham knight was better tho Overall-BEST GAME SERIES EVER! It’s like it was made for me tbh and I’m so glad I found it, played the game a bunch of times especially city and yeah

[@CaliforniaWaffle]

The way Batman jumps off roof tops and glides down through the snow hitting enemies and berating Alfred about his Christmas meal, is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a young, rich, white man in a Bat costume

[@thhm]

Thanks, great review. I wish you placed the name of the game currently shown somewhere in the screen tho, as not having played most of the games, couldnt really tell which one you were talking about at times.

[@Batman89057]

My list: 1. Arkham City. Best all round storyline. Best all round voice acting. Best ending. Best plot twist too (Ra's Al Ghul's involvement with Protocol 10). 2. Arkham Origins. Almost as good as City. Yes its a massively underrated game. The voice acting here is also top notch. The story is much simpler than City's, and admittedly isn't even the second best story in the franchise. But the villians and boss fights (besides Deadshot) are absolutely fantastic. Batman is fantastic. It's also the only Arkham game to get Bane's character right. And when ir worked, the online multiplayer was very addictive. 3. Arkham Asylum. Sure, not as much available developers could do at the time, so even though gameplay was revolutionary, we now have better games in terms of gameplay. Although voice acting is again good here. Simplest story of the lot, yet a very interesting one to see unfold. Boss battles are mostly bad though, and there was little free roam. I also thought the riddler challenges were too easy, but then they made them if anything too difficult in the rest. 4. Arkham Knight. Yeah, it may have the best gameplay. Yeah, it may look pretty, and it's still overall...not bad. Voice acting is great again. But the story felt rushed and underwritten. The plot twist could easily be seen coming. And the riddler challenges went from difficult to annoyingly difficult. Also, Scarecrow didn't have time to shine because Rocksteady made Joker the main villain for the fourth game running. What saved this game from being bad imo was the dlc and overall aesthetic style of the game, and it's characters.

[@FelipeOliveira-jh1hm]

Flaquaboman that's my exact list.

[@adamotway7671]

Soo electrocutioners boss battle was better thanks deadshots hmmmm

[@penpenbrady]

Finally someone talked about the origins online!

[@candidopeito5577]

I agree 100% with you City is my favorite game ever Origins is criminally underrated, has awesome designs, a awesome story and the Multiplayer OMG (Good Times) Asylum is Nostalgic and has a very good story, difficult for me when I was younger and is one of the best games till date. Knight has the best graphics, the Batmobille, a entertaining story but some times you feel boring, but the fucking Boss Battles in this one were terrible, and the tank battles OMG I HATED

[@lirxzy4561]

That almost the same as my list but I put origins as my favourite

[@yoysters7255]

[@ChrisSmithBass]

Is it weird that I’ve never played ANY of these games… but I’ve watched cut-scene movies of all 4 games and various review/breakdown vids as well. I don’t play video games but I love stories, action and the work put into these games.

[@jonathanotchengco9651]

Arkham Origins for me is the best from feel, to story, to boss fights. among all of them only origins was the one i completed multiple times

[@thebalderthor4884]

Agreed! The others feel more cartoony while origins feels more gritty and badass.

[@thebatman1482]

@@thebalderthor4884 Other way around for me. Everything in Origins from the graphics, to the directing, to the villains feels cartoony and wonky. It lacks the grittiness and the more mature elements of the other games, not to mention the glitches and the combat, which is the most non-responsive of the series (after Asylum probably). Oh, and that awful Dark Knight Challenge system.

One thing arkham knight did really well was the predator mode gameplay with enemys that adapt to your tricks (like grouping up more or putting mines on vantage points or fire grenades in floor grates) not to mention the more ways to use gadgets in stealth like the voice modulator or remote hacking device. TLDR: Arkham knight has good stealth mechanics.

Knights gameplay just sometimes felt too easy though and wasn’t cramped enough with combat or predator. Too much room

[@snoop4472]

Arkham Knight's stealth fails in the challenge department, however. As long as you are hiding in a grate or perched onto a vantage point, since no enemy can even fathom the concept of 'looking up', and you are able to swiftly move to a safer location, you will not be seen. Even on the hardest difficulty, it's a bloody cakewalk. And don't even get me started on the fear multi takedown...
