Riddles and hidden items can ruin the pacing. Some riddles may make you feel like you are missing something when in fact they cannot be solved/found until you reach a certain plot point. Lots of boring backtracking to find items. Gargoyle statues can simp...
Abstract: This Batman story begins with our indomitable hero bringing a handcuffed Joker to Arkham Asylum in true style. The Batmobile cuts heated tracks through the city and out to the island where Batman's ever-smiling arch nemesis is to be incarcerated. But B...
Abstract: Darkness is descending upon Gotham City. The night sky is obscured by dark clouds lashing rain over a dark Gothic cityscape. Moonlight pierces through this gloomy curtain, illuminating a deserted road—the Dark Knight approaches. A Serious House on S...
