A followup season, Batman: The Enemy Within, was released throughout 20 and is well worth checking out, too. It offered a thoughtful, choice-driven narrative that never lets up throughout its five-episode saga. Its strength is in presenting familiar characters in an unfamiliar way, featuring slightly different backstories than you might be used to. One of the shining examples of this is Batman: The Telltale Series, a game released episodically towards the end of 2016. Telltale Games was one of the masters of storytelling in video games. Again, this game isn’t amazing, but it’s a worthwhile entry in the Batman series, especially to fans of Metroid and Castlevania. Blackgate takes place after the events of Origins and does a fair job of translating the beloved combat from the Arkham games into a 2.5D presentation. This game launched alongside Arkham Origins but was initially designed for handheld systems like the PS Vita and Nintendo 3DS.
No, not Batman: Arkham Origins (more on that one below), but rather, a 2.5 Metroidvania game set in the same universe. Batman: Arkham Origins BlackgateĪnother game in the Dark Knight’s catalog you might not remember is Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate. It’s not the greatest game ever, but it did lay the groundwork for what would come from Batman games later on, and we recommend giving this one a try.
Aside from stealth sections and vehicular mayhem, there’s also basic hand-to-hand combat, wherein Batman utilizes his gadgets to defeat enemies. The Batman Begins movie tie-in was a good attempt at mixing fun stealth gameplay with wild Batmobile sections and even includes many of the film’s cast reprising their roles in the game. This is probably a game that many haven’t thought about (or even heard of) in years.
