I remember a game breaking bug I had with the 3DS version of this game. After you fight Black Mask, you'll have to leave the boss room only to get into the other room. When trying to leave the other room via the door, the game will continuously load, breaking my save file. Even reloading the save file doesn't fix anything, I had to start all over because of it

[@itsplug1681]

This was actually the first Arkham game that I've ever played, and to be honest, it's not as bad as it seems to be. Pretty decent story and combat system for what it's worth. The only thing I didn't like was the cutscenes using a comic-like style to convey the story, though it's quite artistic. I also loved the suits giving you special abilities for unlocking them. The boss battles were also pretty decent, with Penguin's being the most difficult (which made me rage quite a bit). So yeah, it isn't that good but it also isn't bad. You get what you pay for

[@DigitalArctic]

20:10 This is because you were doing it wrong, you're supposed to wait (or use a shock batarang) until his stun baton loses power and he runs away to reactivate it. (That's when you were supposed to hit him.)

I personally haven’t played this but I think it’s an interesting take on a Arkham game that’s on handheld. People have said it’s just Arkham Origins ported which isn’t actually the case because different bosses and different story and places and different time sometime after origins. This game isn’t perfect but people hate it because it’s called an Arkham game. It is set in the Arkham verse and it is Arkham canon but it doesn’t play like normal Arkham games well kinda.

Wouldn't Batman Arkham VR be the 6th game?
