10 Video Game Side Missions That Stole The Show
6. The Riddler's Challenge - Batman Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham Asylum is the greatest comic book game of all time, and its portrayal of every single major Batman character is amongst the best ever shown in the world of entertainment.
One of the best character representations in Arkham Asylum is The Riddler, who contributes to a side quest that demands far more attention from 'Bats' than the main storyline.
The Riddler's Challenge comprises 240 different challenges from six categories: Chronicle of Arkham, Mystery, Patient Interview Tape, Riddler Trophies, Chattering Teeth, and the iconic Riddles that have become synonymous with the character.
Completing challenges rewards players with more in-depth lore on the sinister history of the Arkham Asylum through an arsenal's worth of extra content, as well as a handy amount of experience points and collectibles.
Aside from the rewards and lore the side challenge gives players, The Riddler's Challenge steals the show by encouraging more exploration of Rocksteady's wonderful world than anything else.
Challenging but never enough to become infuriating or something to make players lose interest, no playthrough of Arkham Asylum is complete without finishing all of the Riddler's challenges.
