Which Batman game to get if you could only get one? - Beehaw

I see Batman Arkham City GOTY is on sale on Steam. Is that one objectively better than the others?

Arkham City was for a long while considered the best, but age has arguably been kinder to Asylum (thanks to storytelling) and Knight (thanks to streamlining/modernization).

I don’t think there is any question on how to answer the literal post, though. If you could only get one of them, it’s Asylum.

Actually looks like I'll only be playing through Asylum and City. Bought all three on my Steam Deck, but for some reason Knight is unsupported on there.

But, I'm happy to start with the original and enjoy it from there!

You could still give Knight a go. The folks over at protondb seem to be reporting that it runs just fine even without official Deck support.

But Asylum and City are both great games so definitely play those first.

I played Asylum last year for the first time (and haven't played other games yet). It honestly aged well. Yeah, the graphics look like crap; but the core gameplay, UI, and especially writing/dialogues all hold up.
