While patrolling the streets, I must have heard Steve Blum (who still plays every thug with Nolan North, like WB can’t afford a thug budget) say “who is Robin anyway?” approximately 10,000 times. It’s a painfully slow process, and come to find out, some thugs don’t even give you information after tracking them down (this seems to be a glitch, as this has happened a few times, even on thugs I used counter on)!ĭivebombing from the sky and sending a Riddler car careening for information was cool the first time, but on the 50th occasion, it gets unbearable. To find them, you’ll wander around the town with detective vision on and locate green cars or green men, isolate them in combat, and press a button to have a few icons appear on the map. While the trophies are generally par for the course for the series, the riddles (as mentioned previously) are often good, and the bombs are few and far between, it’s the objects that broke my soul.Īnd here’s the worse news - to get any locations without consulting a guide, you’ll have to “interrogate” Riddler cronies.
Instead, there’s over 300 miniature quests to complete, carved out by way of trophies, riddles, “Riddler bombs,” and breakable objects. This is how all of the riddles should have been presented. You’ll also find a lot of really cool stories that tie up loose ends for characters like Bane and Calendar Man. It’s a great way to link the series, and the Knightfall ending gives it a nice conclusion. I love how the game leads you towards horizons where you can find Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Wayne Manor in the distance. Most notably, the riddles that feel like actual riddles are great. Thankfully, there’s a little bit of brilliance peppered in that shows what might have been.
Asylum also had just the right amount on a smaller map to encourage nearly everyone to go for them, and I like how Origins had a little extortion story weaved into the activity, making it a bit less tedious. It was slightly annoying to have “Catwoman only” trophies in Arkham City, but that game never took it to this level - plus, Riddler was still relatively fresh at that point.

I have roughly 80 more riddles to go of 315 (some are grouped up to make the actual total less, more on that awfulness later), and I felt the burn ages ago.įirst, let’s take a brief look at the other games in the series to see how it measures up. If there’s two things Batman: Arkham Knight does too much of, it’s the Batmobile and The Riddler.įor the purposes of an upcoming project, I’m working towards a 100% completion rate in Knight, and I’m running into a wall, much like Jordan did a few weeks back.
