If you’ve never played either of them before, you owe it to yourself to do so now.

This was the 4th time I’ve played Arkham Asylum and it still holds up.

Batman: Return to Arkham is a package of two stellar games and impossible not to recommend to anyone who hasn’t played them yet.

It’s been great revisiting two wonderful games, but the framerate drops and lighting changes take away much of the charm of playing them.

The decision to lock both games at 30 FPS is a poor one in my opinion and maybe just keeping the original assets and increasing the frame rate would’ve served the collection well.

Two of the finest games of the past decade don't quite get the treatment they deserve in Return to Arkham.

Batman: Return to Arkham is a good game but an awful remaster.

Batman: Return to Arkham is a good, but not great, package.

Batman: Return to Arkham isn't the greatest ever remaster, but the price offers excellent value.

Two classic games made to look notably worse than they did over five years ago, which is one villainous masterplan even Batman can’t foil.

Two amazing games get updated for current-gen consoles with an unremarkable port in Batman: Return to Arkham.

The overall product doesn't match the Arkham series' reputation.

Batman: Return to Arkham is neither the game that Gotham fanboys deserve or need right now.

If you already have both Asylum and City on their original platforms, you can safely skip this re-release.

Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City are amazing games, but this collection doesn't stand up to the same quality.

The Batman: Return to Arkham collection is the video-game equivalent of that old “You Had One Job” meme.
