Batman: Arkham Knight - 10 Ways To Live Up To The Hype
10. Be The World's Greatest Detective
The Arkham series has been the best representation on Batman ever seen on screen, arguably even better than the revered Animated series or Nolan trilogy but there is one feature which Rocksteady have failed to address in both games; Detective Mode. Batman is the world's greatest detective and Arkham Knight needs to showcase this once and for all. The predator/x-ray system is perfect as it is but it's the actual missions that need an upgrade. For all Batman: Arkham Origins did wrong, the story shone through with the actual solving of clues getting a clever update. But it was dumbed down and held gamers hands, most missions revolved around following an arrow and being told exactly what areas to investigate or to use Gadget A on Ceiling B, repeating this at several different points in the storyline. How amazing would it be if Rocksteady included a few sections that required actual knowledge of Batman and the canon and made gamers research what they didn't know? To make you truly think and not just act, like Batman would.
