The Assassin’s Creed series, pioneered by Ubisoft Montreal, takes players on an epic journey through different historical periods, blending action and stealth seamlessly. Both the Assassin's Creed series and the Batman Arkham series share a common thread of delivering immersive open-world experiences, combining intricate narratives with dynamic combat systems, and allowing players to explore iconic cityscapes enriched with history and mystery.

The series kickstarted with “Assassin’s Creed” in 2007, introducing players to the enigmatic battle between the Assassins and Templars.

This game focuses on the intricate dance of stealth and combat, reminiscent of the Batman Arkham series.

One of the standout features of Assassin’s Creed games is their expansive open-world environments. Whether you’re scaling the rooftops of Renaissance Italy in “Assassin’s Creed 2” or navigating the bustling streets of Victorian London in “Assassin’s Creed Syndicate,” each installment offers a meticulously crafted historical backdrop. The series also introduces iconic villains, compelling players to engage in stealthy takedowns and intense combat sequences.

Assassins Creed Origins (2017) transported players to ancient Egypt, while Assassins Creed Odyssey (2018) explored the world of ancient Greece. The franchise continued to innovate with the release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage (2023), delving into the Islamic Golden age. Each installment brought fresh perspectives to the series, combining historical authenticity with thrilling gameplay.

Step into the gritty and vibrant streets of Hong Kong with Sleeping Dogs. Published by Square Enix and developed by United Front Games, this action-packed open-world game immerses players in the role of Wei Shen, an undercover cop tasked with infiltrating the dangerous Triad criminal organization. The game’s setting and narrative echo the atmospheric intensity of the Arkham series, inviting players to navigate the thin line between law and criminality.

Sleeping Dogs introduces players to a martial arts-infused combat system that perfectly complements the game’s setting. My favorite part of this game was the brutal hand-to-hand combat, martial arts showdowns, and thrilling shootouts. Much like the Arkham games, Sleeping Dogs' combat is fluid and impactful, making every encounter a cinematic experience. The narrative weaves a tale of undercover intrigue, betrayal, and loyalty, drawing players into the complex world of crime and justice.

The open world of Hong Kong in Sleeping Dogs is a playground for exploration and mayhem. The city comes alive with its diverse environments, from bustling markets to neon-lit streets. Players can engage in various activities, including street races, martial arts training, and even singing karaoke. The attention to detail in recreating the Hong Kong atmosphere contributes to the immersive experience, much like the meticulous design of Gotham City in the Arkham series.

In the spirit of the Arkham series, this game delivers an immersive open-world experience, inviting players to explore the vast, sun-scorched landscapes and engage in intense vehicular battles. 

Mad Max distinguishes itself through its focus on vehicular combat, a unique feature that sets it apart in the action-adventure genre. Players take control of the iconic Interceptor, customizing and upgrading it for epic battles against marauding factions. The combat system extends beyond the vehicle, incorporating brutal combat in hand-to-hand confrontations reminiscent of the Arkham series. I liked to navigate a world where every encounter could escalate into a fight for survival, capturing the harsh reality of a world on the brink.

This action-packed adventure unfolds in the iconic realm of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Like the Arkham series, this series combines a gripping narrative with innovative gameplay, introducing the revolutionary Nemesis System that dynamically shapes the player’s interactions with the orc hierarchy. 

The groundbreaking Nemesis System is at the core of Shadow of Mordor, a feature that creates a dynamic hierarchy of orc enemies with their personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. Much like the Arkham series’ emphasis on iconic villains, Shadow of Mordor’s Nemesis System allows players to forge personal vendettas against specific enemies, leading to memorable and personalized encounters. The system evolves based on player actions, creating a unique and adaptive gameplay experience that keeps players on the edge of their seats.

The journey continues with Shadow of War, building upon the success of its predecessor; it expands the open world exploration, introduces new characters, and evolves the Nemesis System. Players, once again stepping into the shoes of Talion, navigate the ever-expanding lands of Mordor, forging alliances and confronting powerful foes. The game’s intricate combat system, strategic fortress assaults, and the evolving dynamics of the Nemesis System offer a gaming experience akin to the strategic combat and iconic villains found in the Arkham series. 

Both games weave a compelling narrative within the vast tapestry of Middle Earth. The open-world design, fluid combat, and the innovative nemesis system contribute to an immersive experience that captures the essence of Tolkien’s universe.
