Batman: Arkham Shadow

Batman: Arkham Shadow is a great Batman: Arkham game without any qualifiers needed for its virtual reality platform. Narratively it fits in well with the rest of the series, and mechanically Camouflaj somehow simply figured it out.

The only concession you have to make is that it looks like a VR game, but honestly, that’s just fine for a series that hasn’t had a new entry in a decade. Arkham Asylum is the one I regularly come back to for a replay, but I suspect Arkham Shadows will be taking its place from now on.

Batman: Arkham Shadow is the most authentic and immersive way to make yourself feel like the Caped Crusader that I've ever played.

Batman Arkham Shadow brings the gameplay of Batman's previous adventures to virtual reality, and it does so in masterful fashion, culminating a new story in which combat, investigation, and stealth feel like never before in the series. Now you are Batman, and you will only need Bruce Wayne's money to believe it.

There’s exploration, combat, detective work, stealth, and puzzle solving. While it may not have the scale of a flat Arkham game, it has an engaging story with unexpected twists as you try to track down who is the Rat King.
