Batman: Arkham Collection
$9 (normally $60)
Rocksteady’s Batman series is superhero action at its very finest. Kicking off a Dark Knight tale in Arkham Asylum, polishing the experience in Arkham City, and eventually evolving it into an apex predator of hard-hitting detective work in Arkham Knight, the trilogy is a masterpiece of design that’s still worth playing today. The current bundle on Steam is exceptional value for the entire Caped Crusader saga, packing in not only all three games that the British studio developed, but also all of the DLC.
That includes the Game of the Year versions of the first two games, alternate costumes, playable levels where you control the Joker, and post-game DLC missions. Arkham Knight is easily worth the price of admission alone, as the included season pass adds a massive amount of extra content and new missions that see Batman interact with Mr. Freeze, Ra’s Al Ghul, the Mad Hatter, and Killer Croc. There’s also the Arkham Episodes, which add short but enjoyable stories for Catwoman, Red Hood, Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl. — Darryn Bonthuys
