15 Games With Addictive Combat

Batman: Arkham City

Three words: Free Flow Combat. Rocksteady may have understood what it mean to be the Dark Knight with Detective Mode, stealth options and movement options like grappling hooks and gliding. However, its Free Flow Combat showcased what an unstoppable force Batman could be with accessible controls and advanced techniques. Indicators above enemy heads pointed out the right time to counter and subsequent combos helped build up to more devastating moves. Batman: Arkham City expanded on this by making combat faster, more responsive and more varied, representing a series at its peak.
