Same family as Batman: Arkham Knight: dark, oppressive atmosphere, melee combat and horror setting. The common ground extends to a third-person camera and single-player focus. Where the two diverge is combat and setting: fantasy world and a first-person view.

It shares the essentials of what Batman: Arkham Knight does: strong narrative focus, melee combat and horror setting. The common ground extends to single-player focus and a third-person camera. Where the two diverge is combat and visuals: ranged combat and 3D presentation.

Shelved next to Batman: Arkham Knight for good reason: dark, oppressive atmosphere, horror setting and single-player focus. Both also lean on a third-person camera. The distance is in setting and tone — its own ground is a medieval setting.
