In celebration of Batman Day, the entire Batman Arkham series, including all DLC for Arkham Knight, City, and Asylum, is available at its lowest price on Steam via Fanatical. This deal offers a comprehensive collection of the beloved superhero games for players looking to experience Batman's journey.
While Arkham Asylum may be the oldest entry, it stands out for its dense atmosphere and focus on tense combat within the confines of the gothic prison. This initial title honed the series' core mechanics and delivered a compelling narrative that felt more akin to a horror experience.
Arkham City expanded the scope to a more open-world environment, setting players loose within a city-sized prison. This entry is celebrated for its narrative strength, introducing a wide array of Batman's iconic villains and presenting a complex storyline.
Arkham Knight is noted for perfecting the gameplay, featuring electrifying combat and fluid movement. Although the Batmobile sections are sometimes criticized as tedious, the experience of driving the vehicle through Gotham City is described as exceptionally fun. Arkham Origins, a prequel developed by a different studio, is also included, offering solid combat and a strong story despite not being as highly regarded as the Rocksteady-developed trilogy.
Notably, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is not part of this sale and is also suggested as potentially skippable. The Batman Arkham series bundle includes all available DLC, providing a substantial amount of content for fans of the Caped Crusader.
