Gamescom 2024 | Batman Arkham Shadow is a sweat-inducing slice of nostalgia that captures the essence of Rocksteady's trilogy
Knight to remember.
I'm standing in the dark streets of Gotham, as I have done countless times over the years, but now I'm physically craning my neck up to look at its street signs, the names of boarded up shops, the police helicopters buzzing overhead. I'm near the end of an hour-long look at the upcoming Meta Quest 3 exclusive Batman Arkham Shadow, and have finally emerged above ground. It's my first proper view of the city, and goodness it feels familiar. And yet, deliberately I think, the action is being kept at street level for now, next to burning braziers and amongst swirling fog, rather than among the rooftops above.

Playing with archetypes.
The battle music in Metaphor: ReFantazio is incredible. Urgent, insistent chanting builds tension over dramatic string stabs before a glorious brass fanfare emerges with choral harmonies. It's as grand and operatic as the game as a whole. It's also diegetic - not just a background score but summoned into the game world by the player character's fairy companion to inspire. Music is - quite literally - magic.

Bag for life.
Let's lay out the facts of the case: Eisuke Saski, a high schooler, has been found strangled by a pumping station outside of the city. The object used to kill him is missing, but the true oddity is the paper bag with a grinning face drawn upon it placed over his head.
