Summary

Using a great variety of gadgets you must make your way around the island, and the asylums halls to find and stop the joker. The game uses a 3-button combat system, but with a great number of gadget abilites which Batman can unlock. This makes for a very cinematic combat experience when fighting the Joker's goons.

Playtime: 11,4 h
Platform: Steam

Sidenote: I wish the series continued with the Metroidvania elements because a 2D Metroidvania in the style of Metroid Dread with Batman would go hard as hell.

Arkham Asylum is such a great game. The atmosphere, boss fights, and even that crazy 4th wall break are some of the best in the trilogy. Honestly, I wish we got a better remaster because it takes away the darkest from the game. I wouldn't be surprised if we got a remake in a couple of years.

Version: Playstation 4 (Return To Arkham)
Edition: Digital

What a banger. This game nails the atmosphere & aesthetic of Batman. About every other year I find myself playing through it again. THAT is how you know you've achieved something special.

Final verdict: Buy it

I didn't expect to like this one as I did. I personally don't enjoy superhero games or movies.But this one was a shocker.Gameplay was amazing,combat simple but effective,gadgets were all fun and unique for certain situations.Boss fights were very creative and interesting,story was pretty good,characters made me care enough to see everything through the end.Soundtrack not so memorable.Definetly gonna play Arkham City in future. I like how Riddler was used as collecting collectibles.If anyone wants to try Batman games this is the one you got to start with. Asylum was a great location,it was more linear than other ones which I enjoy.Atmosphere was creepy,stealth sections were great,I see why this game won game of the year.I even have the Xbox version of this game,gonna try it at some point.Overall a great game for me,if I was more interested in superheroes it would probably be 9 or 10.But damn Rocksteady did such a great job with this one
