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.

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

Well,for someone who doesn't care/like anything regarding superhero genre,games or movies,somehow I really enjoyed this one.There are so many gameplay elements to the game.The amount of content,story was pretty good.Loved the characters and rivalry between Joker and Batman trying to outsmart each other.The Asylum was a great location and exploration was awesome.You can do stealth,fight enemies,use bunch of gadgets and strategies against them.Boss fights are very creative,it's not your typical beat them up,you have to figure out a certain strategies to get through.Collectibles even though I didn't care about completeing it,I have to give game a credit for making it part of the story,having Riddler to be a part of it makes it creative.Missions are nice,creppy ost fit the game perfectly.Thing I didn't enjoy is going through vents every five minutes,or sometimes not knowing where you are supposed to go.The reason it's not a 9 or 10 is because I qenuinely don't care about doing the game in details,I cared enough to complete the main story,but overall a surprise for me,didn't expect to like it as I did.
