Lab Work – @shikkaro Batman Arkham Knight Video – Play-through
Nearly 10 years later (now), we’ve added the Arkham collection to my library. Word is that Batman is on the short list of games to be rebooted, currently on the bench. For a refresher, visit @shikkaro on YouTube for the complete game walkthrough.
Quick Take
Once again, the Scarecrow has crippled the city of Gotham with a mixture of neurotoxins of sorts. Fear and panic have a tight grip on the city, causing crime to fester. The Scarecrow’s goal is to teardown the city.
Batman Arkham Collection
I recently purchased the Batman Arkham Collection for the PS5, and it’s been a great choice of games over the years, despite their age. The collection includes Batman Arkham Night, and Batman Return to Arkham. Right off the bat, I’m having some troubles with the controller setup, but it’s not a new issue – I just need more hours/time to get used to the PS5 controls. I enjoy a mix of old and new games, like NES, SNES, N64, and Dreamcast), so I’ll need to put in some time to get the hang of it, just like we did for MLB The Show ’23, NHL 24 etc. Personally, I prefer the touch pad controls over toggles or joysticks for movement and camera views.
Bumpers and Spacers
Side note: I’m surprised time is needed, cause this “new” controller setup is more like flying a drone with the throttle on one joystick and yaw and roll on the other. Flight by sight is similar, while FPV is definitely more like the new engine games. So, the first takeaway might be this controller setup. I have some time to figure out the controller setup on older game engines.
Additional note: this is not a compliant per se, it’s a time and effort thing. In an effort to gain confidence and comfort in the new system, there is a need to grind out the controller setup. Furthermore, I’ll provide an update on the controller mod’s, extensions and cushions. I thought I would give these a go to see if they shorten up the controller hesitation, and over steering or movement. These two mods might do the trick.
Battle Tank, Good Buy, New Batman
Gameplay looks flawless, no performance hesitation. Performance is spot on, making it very helpful for those Bat-mobile (tank) areas where you need to jump and crawl your way through Gotham. It is also budget friendly, making it a great alternative to the new games here in 2025, Justice League shooter., PVP.. So, it’s a budget-friendly win for bargain game shoppers, collectors or those just looking for great second hand replays. I would encourage you all to check out @theradbrad or @shikkaro’s gameplay for great content. There are others, but I prefer the presentation from these two content creators.
The Bat-mobile in game ‘play’ is excellent. It can tear down walls, lift elevators, blast through enemy drones and tanks. This is the kind of Batman game it is. You can crab walk, speed throughout the city and then slingshot your way out of the cockpit, up and above the cityscape to takedown criminals, eliminate obstacles, and defeat Scarecrow, The Riddler and their minions. Don’t forget, Harley, Joker, Penguin, Two-Face, and more, even the Riddler all wants in on the Gotham crime payday.
Check out the Arkham Collection, while we wait for more information on the new Batman games. It is the follow-up to Justice League, the Arkham Trilogy and previous games. It’s a great game series too, reminds me of Spiderman I, II, in away, may be a little AC (Assassin Creed) series. Moreover, the games have great villains, great storyline, classic Batman game. Awesome game.
