Whether or not you purchase Return to Arkham will depend on how
you parted with last-gen. If you’ve
completely moved on and no longer own the older hardware, this
may be a good opportunity to carry over some of the best games
available to those consoles. And
if you’ve not played an Arkham
game before, this is definitely the
time to start.
However if you main PC, you’re
not missing much here apart from
some improved textures and more
vibrant palettes. Unfortunately
there is no content exclusive to this
release that has not been released
before, which I think is a missed
opportunity. I’m also disappointed
that Asylum saw no upgrades to

its FreeFlow combat system, as it
was quite jarring using the original
tech, which did have some flaws
before it was updated for Arkham
City.
On a personal level, the Arhkam
series has had a huge influence on
my life – they got me into Batman,
collecting, and gaming! These
games have never been anything
short of fantastic, so for these reasons I’m glad that their lifetimes
have been extended and I don’t
have to leave them behind on lastgen. I’m sure I’ll be replaying these
games for many years to come.
