10 Things All Superhero Games Can Learn From Batman: Arkham

4. Have A Fitting Soundtrack

Whilst music-composition may not be the first thing people think of when it comes to creating a game, its role in telling a story cannot be understated. The Arkham series has been gifted with two brilliant composers in Nick Arundel and Christopher Drake, both veterans of music composition in regards to superheroes. Other titles often don€™t place a great focus on their respective soundtracks, but the opposite is the truth when it comes to Arkham. Navigating the twisting halls of Arkham Asylum is made evermore unnerving when complimented by Arundel€™s orchestral and synth-based compositions, and like other features of the Arkham series, it€™s undeniably Batman in nature. Not many comic-book game titles possess memorable soundtracks akin to their film counterparts, but a good soundtrack can transform a game into being far more cinematic and epic in scale than in absence. It€™s high time that publishers and developers started employing grand scores in their works, or if it works for a character, a soundtrack comprised of different artists.
