About This Game

Two games in one package: Arkham Asylum, a tight, backtracking night inside a single institution, and Arkham City, the open-district sequel that widened the map without losing the stalking. Both arrive remastered in a newer engine with all previously released extra content folded in.

Value is the argument here. Asylum remains the more focused design and City the more generous one, and playing them back to back is the cleanest way to see how the series' predator encounters and free-flow combat evolved. The remaster work itself is the sticking point, with lighting and character models that some players judge a step sideways from the originals rather than forward. Rated Teen, it is the entry point for anyone who missed the Arkham run before Arkham Knight.
