  1. Thank you so much for watching. We put a lot of time into this one and love the Batman Arkham series. Do you have a favorite Arkham game?

  2. The Batman Arkham games were so awesome and fun to play and you felt like Batman with his Detective skills , combat , driving the batmobile , Detective crime solving and so on, you really felt like the Worlds greatest Detective 🙂. Rocksteady captured the feel and atmosphere of Batman and they have changed the Superhero game genre forever and how to make an awesome Superhero game .

  3. Still to this day I love bats series 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 just recebeat Arkham city and asylum again 🔥🔥 knight still looks amazing for a 2015 game I wish more devs pushed their game series to look good and feel believable imagine a fully polished assassins creed with the vibe of unity, some sea exploration like black flag smh Ubisoft rushed them out a year and a half too much

  4. I actually played Dark Tomorrow through to the credits multiple times. The gameplay and graphics were horrendous, but had a charm to it. The cutscenes were dope tho, and we got see a lot of characters not yet well known to non comic readers like Ratcatcher, Ra’s Al Ghul, Killer Croc, Ventriloquist and more.

  5. Arkham city perfected the combat. The combat challenge levels were so much fun and could be played in short bursts when you had time so it was a shame they were replaced by batmobile race stages.

  6. lol this game have one of the most boring combat in gaming… Is basically just series of quick time events…
    Of course IGN would love, it doesn't require any skill or strategy.

  7. This combat system spoiled me. Now if games don’t have sick counters and bone breaking finishers it just doesn’t hit the same

  8. I want a switch Version !!! I had it on x360 loved it to dead. Now i only have a switch lite because i'm struggleing minimum Wage lost house etc.. but games sooths my pains!!

  9. Anybody else break their necks playing Arkham Asylum at the display on Target? That’s what made me beg my mom to buy it. Top 10 favorite games for sure!

  10. Absolutely fantastic series of games – however I think it’s often over looked that the Spider-Man 2 movie game had this exact type of combat in 2004.

    While Batman perfected it 5 years later, it could be argued it Spider-Man did the ground work for Superhero franchises.

  11. there's many games that tried to replicate arkham combat. but other's look like the enemy attack one by one while others just watch. in arkham games, the enemy looks like they swarms attack and work together but they gave batman fast movement animation to get the sense that batman is way faster than the enemy

  12. Show this to the youtuber jackass who calls himself Videogame Dunkey. That guy actually found this game's combat "boring" and "monotonous". One of the most annoying and overrated youtubers of our time

  13. The combat system while being flashy it was way too simplistic a blind monkey could play it. I cant see how mashing one button for attack and countering with another that requires zero timing whatsoever to pull off, is considered one of "the greatest gaming has ever created" lol…

    If you want a complex combat system look no further than the Devil May Cry series, literally has infinite combination possibilities with amazing style and its combat mechanics that requires more than 2 braincells to pull off.

  14. Imma be real. I love the arkham games to death. Been playing since I was 6 years old. But it just does not have the best combat system. I think there are so many games out there that have great combat systems. So to say that this series has the best is a little on the nose.

  15. Great art segment for Arkham that was the greatest CB Game of all time. But lets not forget Batman Begins was its template more than any Batman game, without it Arkham won't exist.

  16. Rocksteady's take on the caped crusader is a milestone in not just superhero gaming, but gaming in general. The combat is almost perfection in Batman Arkham Knight.
