Batman: Arkham Collection showcases some of the best stories featuring the Dark Knight in recent years, as players enjoy gameplay that combines combat, stealth, and exploration amid a gripping story that unfolds in front of their eyes. The Lego Batman Trilogy, meanwhile, takes a different path in portraying the Caped Crusader on the PC screen, with playful aesthetics and lots of things to collect, though they have no connection with the Lego Batman movies.

To download the six Batman games, which are free until September 26 at 10:59 a.m. ET, Epic Games Store customers will simply have to log on to their accounts and search for Batman: Arkham Collection and the Lego Batman Trilogy. For those who do not yet have an Epic Games Store account, signing up for one is completely free.

The Epic Games Store seeks to challenge digital storefronts such as its biggest rival, Valve’s Steam. However, it only recently enabled cloud saves, which is a standard feature among modern gaming platforms and only limited to two games at the start.

Meanwhile, continuing Batman’s story on the big screen is Robert Pattinson, who takes over the role from Ben Affleck for Matthew Reeves’ The Batman. Pattinson recently revealed that he may have been part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but things played out differently for the Batman fanboy after he himself reached out to Reeves about playing Bruce Wayne.

The Batman, a DC Comics film is set start filming this winter, aiming for a summer 2021 release.

Epic Game Store fights back against review bombs with new user rating system
Epic Games Store user rating system

People review-bombing games even before they're released is a common problem on sites like Metacritic. To combat this, Epic Games announced that it's come out with a new user rating system on the Epic Games Store that should address the issues.

The Fortnite maker said on Friday it updated its digital gaming storefront with the user rating system to ensure its games receive direct feedback from the community as they're playing them. It works like this: Epic will randomly ask players to score a game on a five-star scale after playing a game for more than two hours. Their scores will be calculated into the game's overall score, which will appear on the game's Epic Games Store page to help other gamers determine whether or not it's worth playing.
