I’m looking for games that capture the essence of the Batman Arkham series, not just in terms of combat but also puzzles and platforming elements. Any suggestions on titles that match this vibe?

Control might not seem similar at first, but it’s got that Metroidvania-style progression that can really capture the exploration vibe you get from Arkham games!
You should definitely check out Mad Max! It’s got a solid progression system where you can build up your car throughout the game, plus some awesome combat. Plus, it’s just a fun ride overall.
Mad Max is truly an underrated gem! You won’t regret diving back into it.
Definitely check out the Insomniac Spider-Man games! They’ve got a lot of the same game mechanics and feel. Plus, Sleeping Dogs is another solid choice with good melee combat and exploration.
If you liked the Arkham games, you’ll love the Middle Earth series — Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War. They have great combat and some nice stealth mechanics. Also, try the Insomniac Spider-Man games, it captures that free-flowing combat really well!
I played it a while back but only for about 15 minutes. I might reinstall it and give it another shot!
