Batman: Arkham Origins

Predating its storyline by five years, when the caped crusader is still in his second year as Gotham's Dark Knight and many of the super-villains defeated in the other Arkham titles are still on the loose, the third installment to the Batman: Arkham series by Rocksteady Studios, Arkham Origins, as its name might suggest, is a prequel to even Arkham Asylum. This game's sandbox environment fuses elements of the other two titles in the series together. Batman: Arkham Origins is a testament to the longevity and modular nature of Epic's Unreal Engine 3 as the game maxes out its entire current feature set. It takes advantage of DirectX 11 and should tax modern GPUs nicely.
