Best Batman games – from Lego Batman to Batman: Arkham Knight

Venture into our list to find Waynes, campaigns, and Batmobiles – the 10 very finest ways to inhabit superhero royalty.

He seems like such a mainstay in gaming now, but for a few years there between his 16-bit outings and Rocksteady’s seminal Arkham series, Bats wasn’t a big name in gaming. The 2000s brought us many things – frosted tips, Wheatus, Brangelina – but great Batman games were not among them.

So you’ll find a schism through this list – on the one side, platformers carrying the licenses of Batman’s early ‘90s movie outings, on the other, those blockbuster action games from Rocksteady and Telltale’s thoughtful, dialogue-heavy take on being Master Wayne.

Just as well you didn’t come here for the best Batman games released 1995-2005, then. Venture onwards down our list and find Waynes, campaigns, and Batmobiles – the 10 very finest ways to inhabit superhero royalty.

Murder mystery games – the best detective games

Here are the best detective games.

It was seven o’clock in the morning and you could tell from the aroma of coffee rising in the air like decomposition gas from a long-dead stiff. Detective McKeand was thinking the case over, pouring over the clues as the rain tapped on his window. “What are the best detective games?” he asked himself. The answer came to him like a shotgun slug through the eye socket. 

There they were, the best murder mystery games, dancing in his peripheral vision like ocular floaters after too many whiskeys. The pieces were all there, and now he just had to put them together in some kind of list format – people like their information digestible, see? Nobody wants facts that fester in the gut like reheated takeout. He’d show them. He’d show them all.  

Ahem, here are the best detective games.
