Which Batman Arkham Game is THE BEST?

[@ThatBoyAqua]

Hey there, just wanted to answer a few questions I have seen so far. Q: What will your next Arkham video be? A: Gotham Knights or SS. I have no intention of posting any gameplay or other video essays because I have said my piece on the entire series; there's nothing left for me to say. Anything else I do would just be milking the series unless I have some major revelation about the series, which I doubt I will. Q: Were you calling out other KZbinrs like Degenerate Jay when you talked about splitting the different top tens into different videos? A: No, lol. In Jay's case and many other Arkham KZbinr's cases, they base their entire channel around making Arkham or Superhero related content. They have always done top 10s, news videos, reactions, and so on. That's what they do. They aren't milking the series in my eyes. You guys know what I do, and I do critiques with maybe a live stream once in a blue moon. If I started making random top 10s and reaction videos about Arkham, my intentions would be monetary. If I started doing that, I believe that I would come to hate the series, and that's not what I want. Furthermore, I am not an Arkham Channel, and I have never intended to be one. This channel is about giving my in-depth thoughts on games. While I understand that my Arkham videos are some of the best and most popular on the channel, I would rather keep a concise and definitive set of videos instead of riding the channel into the ground. Q: Why didn't you choose other skins for the Batmobile? A: I didn't mention it, but I valued the skins usable in the main story more than the others, sorry. Q: Why were half of the non-villain characters villains? A: I chose from characters that weren't significant villains. In my eyes, Simon Stagg is a bad guy, but he's not a primary antagonist and plays a similar role to someone like Dr. Young from Asylum. Q: Will you rank X series (InFAMOUS, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted) A: Yes, but only after I have released videos on every game within that series. I am working on a video ranking the InFAMOUS games in between other videos so expect that soon, but as for the others, I plan to cover the rest of the series first.

Man love this video thank you for showing love to Origins and Knight I feel like both of those games are very disrespected in the community especially Origins gets the most disrespect I mean not giving Origins a remaster still needs to happen it has a great story and the combat is just is good just like every Arkham game and I love the shock gloves which Batman could’ve used them in knight I mean even Rocksteady showed respect to Origins.

Glad to see Arkham Origins ranked so high. I feel that game never gets the flowers it deserves. I always hated that it was dumbed down to an Arkham City 2.0, and while true, its not necessarily a bad thing.

[@blacktytrix]

I always hated the criticism that "it's just arkham city again, it didn't innovate". It was never supposed to innovate. Its true job was meant to be a fun game for fans to play in order to bridge the gap between city and knight and it did that job perfectly.

[@SaberRexZealot]

@@blacktytrix “bridge the gap” did it tho? I don’t recall anything in Origins’ plot being essential to understand Knight’s. It just felt out of place. The tone was way too modern and gritty for it to be a natural prequel to Asylum. It’s a decent game but I don’t understand how anyone could call it underrated. It’s just more of the same but slightly less polished.

[@blacktytrix]

@@SaberRexZealot no I'm saying that knight was going to take 4 years to develop so they wanted to make that gap feel shorter. So origins was made to keep fans into the series while the grand finale was made for next gen consoles therefore bridging the gap between the 2 games, not plot wise, but in a literal sense.

[@quinterriouskelly9671]

@@SaberRexZealot the boss fights in Arkham Origins are some of the best of the series. Batman gets into a fighting stance when he enters combat, the goons are a bit faster and more realistic. And dont get me started on the Cold, Cold Heart Expansion. There were things that Origins did better than Knight. Like the boss fights, side missions, and crime scene investigations. All of that make you feel like Batman. And you can even go to the Batcave whenever you want. It had its bugs but if it were given the time and effort that the Rocksteady games got, it had potential to be the best. But it is definitely better than Asylum

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.

And he said this isn't about you, knowing this is all between them later, and that story with killing joke when you play as joker a little shows everything.

[@voistar5387]

Just got the same bundle myself and am playing through them all now. Currently have completed Asylum (+ all riddler stuff) and city (just story) and am working through Knights now (just started). So far City is the weakest, mostly due to the story (suprisingly very messy and weak considering all the praise that part usually gets, though the ending stuff with Joker was good), some rather annoying enemies thay break the smooth flow of combat (FU shield guys in particular), and the lastlucker traversal speed (at least in comparsion to Asylum with its smaller map size and Knight with the Batmobile and improved gliding). Probably would say Asylum is so far my favorite due to its atmosphere and (so far) the best story of the three with the gameplay still holding up. Knight is easily becoming my favorite to play as a game though to the combat and traversal improvements, and the unintentional humor and thrill of my terrible batmobile driving wrecking absolute havoc of the streets and 100% breaking to now kill rule unintentionally. Also liking the Riddler stuff in Knight the most (so far).

[@shalindelta7]

@nate Adams at this point you can pick up the entire trilogy for a good price. I suggest waiting for the 3 in 1 bundle to go on sale which happens alot on psn and pick that up. All the games are worth playing if you haven't imo.

[@GodOfOrphans]

@nate Adams If I may play devils advocate Knight's combat for as polished as it is can be a bit overhwelming compared to City's especially if coming back from a hiatus. I've played City a lot more than Knight and I still agree for the most part that Knight has better combat but I can definitely see why someone would prefer City to Knight. Personally my favourite probably would be Origins if it weren't for the occasional bug that prematurely kills combos, it doesn't happen a lot but it happens often enough to be a problem especially compared to the relatively bug free combat of the other 3 games but I still prefer the enemy variety in Origins more than all the other games, Venom Users and Martial Artists are just so much fun to fight and I also like the Brutes in Origins better than the Ambromivici twins in City, if you count bosses as part of the combat then Origins has that going for it too. Shalin's also right just wait for a sale and get the trilogy it's available on Steam, Xbone, and PS4, and all versions usually go on sale at the same time so take your pick of platform. I hear they fixed Arkham Knight on PC now although I haven't gotten around to testing that yet. I think the PS4 has a few extra goodies for Knight that are unique to that version so if you don't have a particular preference to any platform go with that one. Origins isn't included in the bundle though.

[@probablynooneimportant9452]

For me Asylum will always be my favorite. I loved the others, but the atmosphere of Asylum just cannot be beaten. And something about it's simplicity is charming. When playing the other three, they can get so cluttered that it gets frustrating. Like the Riddler for instance. There's so many riddler things in the other 3 games that its overwhelming, but Asylum was much more toned down. I got so frustrated in the other games getting all the riddles and trophies, and I still have gotten barely anything in Knight because there's just way too many that I just don't care anymore. Tho I will say that Asylum was the worst music of the 4. City probably has the best theme.

[@JammyGuns]

In regards to clutter that's exactly the way I see it (and unfortunately so many other games these days). In the end all the busy work becomes exhausting. You don't want to ignore it but at the same time you don't want to do it either... It's arguably even worse on repeat playthroughs too. However with Asylum I always enjoy doing the Riddler trophies because they're perfectly paced with the game itself and don't intrude - it's a pleasure exploring and soaking in the atmosphere of that wonderful creepy gothic environment.

Asylum also has, to me, the best art direction. The fact that it's the closest to being a comic book brought to life and the character art in the database all were phenomenal. I always thought that the gameplay and polygons of Knight combined with the art direction of Asylum would be just a few aspects of the ultimate Batman game. Also, even though Ra's is pronounced properly in Batman Begins and in this video, "Ray-sh" sounds better than "Rahz"

[@OnePullUpKing]

Actually the proper pronunciation for Ra’s is ‘Ra’s al-Ghoul’ because as an Arabic speaker myself I can tell you that ‘Ras’ means head and the ‘S’ is the proper pronunciation since “Rahz “and “Ray-sh” literally make no sense and are not even words in the language while “Ra’s” with an “S” actually means head of the demons or ghools. You can also google translate the phrase “Ra’s Al ghoul” to hear the true pronunciation but the A.I will not sound as cool 😂.

I love origins I just didn't like how the really changed up the locations like the Steel Mill. I love bring able to piece together a crime scene. Now my experience was kinda ruined because my copy was so buggy and glitchy. I'd lose progress, sometimes the dark knight challenges wouldn't register no matter how many times I did them, the crime in progress and the "bird" side mission always made me mad because the game would tell me it was active yet I would go to that spot and nothing was happening (like it would say it was triggered but then my game would act like it wasnt).

[@AManWithAGODComplex]

I'd go with (from worst to best): .Blackgate .Asylum .Origins .City .Knight I prefer the plot of City, compared to Knight, but overall, I'd say Knight is just objectively better in regards to smoothness, graphics, combat, etc. It's close, though.

[@raiden6428]

Yeah gameplay mechanic wise Knight is definitely superior. But that's also due in no small part to it being the most recent release and therefore devs having more advanced tech to work with. Imo Origins was the best story. I loved that fight with Slade when I was a kid. Playing it as an adult is still just as fun, but that first time was magical. And although it kinda sucked that "it was joker all along!" I still think the way Joker impersonated Roman was really cool and believable. I didn't suspect a thing (I was like 13 years old or younger.) I loved Bane the most though. Origins was my second Arkham game. First was Asylum. So my only knowledge of Bane was that he was bumbling buffoon who was addicted to steroids basically. But in Origins I like how they portrayed him as pretty much unstoppable. Peak physical form and the tactical prowess to match. If it wasn't for his addiction, I think he would have killed Bruce.

[@samposa5947]

Same opinion

[@boysinthehood9355]

citys story is mostly plot driven rather than character driven which I don't like at all, the villains get a better arc than batman himself where as in knight it's more character driven and really shows a side to batman a lot of people forget, his urge to kill.

[@AManWithAGODComplex]

@@boysinthehood9355 I understand your point, though I disagree why it's necessarily a bad thing to have the villains develop, rather than Batman. Batman is the same guy in Asylum and City (the only reason why he isn't entirely the same person in Knight is because of the Joker blood (which doesn't make any sense, since he used the cure on himself at the end of City. I've seen theories to justify it, but that would just be head-canon and not valid in this argument)). If Batman didn't have the Joker with him in Knight, he would've been the same. The only time Batman was really different (to me, at least) was in Harley's Revenge, where he seems to just not want to think about what just happened with the Joker and Talia. That's it. He is the same dude! 🤣 Also, it's not that Batman has an urge to kill anyone, it was specifically linked towards the Joker from what we have seen. I understand his ideology of 'If I kill X, I'll be just as bad as X', but he's only really made that apparent towards The Joker, who is now dead, so it's not necessarily tied to his desire to kill, more so that he has Joker in him, changing him in to something he both longs for, yet can also objectively despise.

It has a good story but the Arkham Knight stuff was a waste of potential, Robin looks weird enough for me to make a point of it and I hate how the tank gameplay replaces the boss battles and I actually liked playing in a tank a little.

With it also having the most difficult yet fun enemies to fight against like the medics. The speed and impact the gliding has ESPECIALLY on missions makes it the best and with the best mechanics.City for example. The combat is fun and good but it can feel to stiff and make you drop combos and the gliding is good but it’s slow and can kill pacing if you go to fast and the grapnel boost is terrible and can slow you down completely. Knight also has the best suits(if you want to count that). If we are on the topic of robins look.

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.

Plus I wished we could use more vehicles other than just the batmobile but that’s just my opinion.

[@lukaboskovic2032]

Arkham knight was a great game but i just cant get over the fact that there is no true boss fight in that game. We had a great chance to have two unbelievable boss fights with jason todd and deathstroke and all we got was a fcking tank war. I was very, very dissapointed. Still a great game though

[@runsoncaffeine]

It’s nice seeing some Arkham Knight appreciation, it’s the one I find myself going back to the most for driving the Batmobile, the numerous side quests even with the season of infamy, not to mention the architecture and well built world adds to it altogether.

They relied too much on tanks

@@Therealstoob Yes and there weren't enough saves in the middle. It angered me that I'd spend a half hour or longer stalking the tanks only to get painted into the corner and killed by the last one.

For me, I played Origins first, and thought it would be my favourite of the series. But as soon as I finished Asylum and City, and eventually Knight, I just couldn't decide which was my favourite. I'd say right now Asylum is my favourite, tho I haven't played it in a while. Great video, I love hearing someone else's opinions on such a great series 👍

[@LibertyBridgeProductions]

RIP Kevinh Conroy best batman ever you are awesome: Arkham series speaks for itself.

[@jejeakle]

Controversial choice: I like origins the best

[@chief-eno69]

You've gained a sub for this one! I really don't have any arkham game higher than the other cuz its just so tough for me to rank. I loved all of them and there stories and there different highs and lows. Also I bought the arkham knight season pass for $5 so I'd def say it was worth it for that. In terms of the video, I loved it. I never had the urge to click off, never got bored of the video. So you def kept my attention

[@chowsanen2]

For the first time since Arkham asylum came in 2009 i found every riddler trophy in the game. Story is 100% finished and i was planning on doing the same for city but it's double the trophies and decided not to. I'm 28 years old and when i found the last trophy i teared up a little and my girlfriend was laughing at me 😅

[@Itz_Jacari]

R.I.P Kevin Conroy😔 THE GOAT!!!!!💯🔥🔥🔥

[@METALLIFY16]

Asylum will always be my number 1. I remember being so excited for it before it even came out. I watched all the interviews, gameplay demos, and had all the variants of the game informer covers. That game changed the gaming industry forever. It showed that new mechanics for combat could be done and games today still copy the format, its the standard. The atmosphere is unlike any game youll play, you really feel like youre in a Batman comic or the animated show. Rocksteady really nailed the gameplay, the detective work, puzzles, characters, pacing, everything. Sure the boss fight at the end was goofy, but 99 percent of the game is damn near perfect. Arkham City to me is the most overrated Arkham game in my opinion and i think a lot of people see it as the best because it was their first Arkham game after the success of Asylum. The story is underwhelming, the atmosphere wasnt great and the world just felt kind of empty. Really did feel like just a wild goose chase, one long fetch quest. It did have the best suits out of all the Arkham games though and the combat was really refined. Its just not all its cracked up to be Origins i think is better than City because its basically City with a better story. Seeing a younger more brutal Batman and how he's still viewed as a myth was really awesome. And seeing him interact with Joker for the first time i thought was perfect. Arkham Knight I probably have more hours in than any of the others and is probably my second favorite. The gameplay is definitely the best in the entire series. The city aswell is just so detailed and amazing to be in. Not the best story, but all the content and side missions kept me super busy and it all was honestly fun. The boss fights though, really underwhelming.

[@JoshConder]

Knight had the best suits IMO

[@captainrick4513]

I completely agree with this list, cause in my mind, gameplay replay-ability goes first over everything else, including story, because gameplay and after story is what keeps you playing, and just gameplay wise, Arkham Knight is obviously the best.

[@isaacclarke-yu8cp]

Nice video, very enjoyable.

[@TozokuWAV]

Hey! just subbed and binged a lot of your batman videos! found my new favourite channel lmao. honestly though, i thought the guy smoking in the diner at the beginning Arkham Knight was actually Anarky!! The 'A' looks more akin to the stylized 'A' on his jacket in Origins, he's wearing red like in Origins, and there is even a thug dialogue where they mention Anarky too. It's something to the effect of "anyone see that Anarky guy? kid woulda loved this" - regardless awesome video and can't wait to see more of your stuff!!

[@ThatBoyAqua]

Thank you 🙏 Yea I also thought it was Anarchy but Red Hood seems to make more sense, with the “A” being for “Arkham” and the red hood being for “Red Hood”. I think either interpretation works though!

[@harlowatkins6628]

Arkham Knight. Maybe not a perfect story but easily the best gameplay and combat of the series. 1. Knight 2. City 3. Asylum 4. Origins

[@theetimelords1260]

Yup agree with this take, Arkham City has one of the best soundtracks of the 4 and definitely of video games as a whole and Arkham Knights gameplay is so freaking smooth

[@DeeDeeDeeeee]

My favorite Easter Egg in these games has to be the Grundy shrine in Knight. It’s so creepy to walk through a random door in the city and to hear his nursery rhyme playing with all those picture and candles up.

[@preston10248]

My favorite is arkham asylum, i know its not very liked but i find myself playing it any chance i get and I love the atmosphere, combat/stealth (they may not be the best but I still love them and have adapted to them and have come to love it) and story.

[@mellomoose_]

im glad i got to experience this series. such a special collection, emotionally and technically.

[@gandalainsley6467]

I like Arkham Origins the most . Their version of Bane is awesome . ( have not played Arkham Knight yet) edit: I forgot that blackgate existed .

[@samsquadarts2993]

Honestly my favourite is Batman Arkham knight because you might spend weeks on that game so you wouldn’t have to worry about beating it so quick but the fact that it’s the first time you get to physically drive the bat mobile like I think they could’ve done something like that in Arkham city but I love the fear multi takedowns!

[@phrozac]

I've been playing all these on Steam Deck the last month so they're fresh in my mind. I like Asylum and Knight the best for different reasons, though I really love Origins' character art and the way they rendered the game. Asylum because it's one highly detailed location therefore can really focus on the vibe of that location. It feels more intimate. Reminds me a lot of Escape from Butcher Bay in that way. Knight because it's the most refined of the open world Arkhams and looks just incredible. Unlike many, I love the batmobile stuff. There isn't as much of it as people seem to think either(up to 50%, it's more like 20%).I appreciate how it brings extra variety to the gameplay and is a joy to control. Knight is the complete Batman experience.

[@ravendarklawgaming197]

I honestly hated the batmobile stuff on console, I have a decent PC now, and enjoy it far more at the higher frame rate, it's much more responsive.

[@RykerSpark]

I love how u ranked them based on which one was actually better. Most ppl rank the arkham games by which one they grew up with.
