Konami's adaptation of the film, dark and polished, with a memorable soundtrack. The controls are stiff, but the Gotham atmosphere absolutely delivers.

Is Batman Returns still worth playing in 2026?

Batman Returns adapts Tim Burton's film into a Konami action-adventure, in which Batman faces the Penguin and Catwoman across dark Gotham levels blending brawling, platforming and Batmobile sequences. Konami's know-how shows in the polished execution, the faithful atmosphere and the variety of situations. A high difficulty and a few demanding passages call for perseverance. For fans of retro 2D action and the Batman universe, it is a well-crafted adaptation, more accomplished than the average licensed game.
