4. Riddle Me This, Batman?

Arkham Asylum even did brilliant little things that went mostly unrecognized by the gaming world at large. For instance, The Riddler’s puzzles.

Now, most of them just add collect-a-thon gameplay into an action adventure title – which isn’t exactly new, but using The Riddler to facilitate these elements integrates them seamlessly. Plus, it adds tons of fun puzzles that you can either do or ignore, with a cute little reward at the end for 100 percenting the whole thing.

But the innovative thing about The Riddler’s stuff is in the actual riddles. Most relate to finding items related to classic Batman characters and scanning them. That’s right, they game-ified Easter eggs. Yeah, now instead of hiding fun villain-related Easter eggs that most of the audience misses, the game lets you know they exist and then dares you to find them.

It may seem small, but it’s the kind of subtle detail that contributes to the overall experience.
