    My favourite game from the Arkham series. All the villains fights were unique and the combat is by far the highest point in the game.

    The Batman game that started the excellent Arkham Trilogy by Rocksteady Studios!

    Pros:
    + Story is good!
    + Gameplay is good!
    + Great voice acting by Kevin Conroy and Mark Hammill returning as their iconic roles as Batman
    and Joker!
    + Great world building and lots of easter eggs and references!

    Cons:
    - Gadgets could have been used more in exploration

    Its an amazing game with the visuals and combat is a lot of fun. Its great game for fans of batman and it has everything batman story should have. Sadly the final boss is bad and the end of story as well.

    Batman: Arkham Asylum | Sep. 3, 2020 | [★★★★★]

    Clearly one of the finest experience I'd had in a Video Game. A top of a class; Masterpiece that only a few games can offer you. No additional words that I could commend this enough since it was already globally appraised and I'm pretty sure you'd already know it. Also, after playing this, I wouldn't be surprised if Batman has a Batcave

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. * 7 June 2021 * less than 7, for some reason didn’t like in the end as much as I liked Origins, although Asylum felt better at first. Maybe because it is more childish/comic’ish/older + and I realized that Batman has mental problems: him not killing anyone started to irritate. * Finished in 2 days I guess. I thought that by 2009 they would know better than to use THAT batman outfit, simply cringe. Expand

    It fully embraces the fact it is not a book, it is not a movie but a game and it worked out pretty well (unlike "Journey", for example).
    Ah, and btw, looks like video games is a more appropriate medium to tell a story of a billionaire fighting criminals in a bat costume than movies are.

    Initially I was a bit reluctant to try this game, since I had heard that it takes place on one island, which is undoubtedly the smallest map any game has to offer nowadays.

But then I decided to give it a go anyway when Epic gave it away. Before this I had only played Arkham Origins and seeing that the Batman in Arkham Asylum is that "underwear Batman", I was even more hesitant in trying it. But somehow I convinced myself that I can't understand Arkham City or Knight without playing this one so I will somehow "convince" myself into playing this.

    Turns out I was wrong. This game is a downright masterpiece. Unlike most games that make your environment constricted, this one actually makes it feel very, very open. All the villains we knew are in this game - Joker (of course), Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Bane, Killer Croc, Scarecrow. And then there's Riddler's puzzles which help us unlock the character bios and trophies.

    Speaking of that, the side quests of this game are excellent. It's what one can enjoy doing once they've finished the main game. This review comes at a time when I haven't played Arkham City yet, so I don't know if they have maintained this level of side quests later on (it wasn't this entertaining in Arkham Origins so I'm a bit sceptical).

    I can say this for sure that this is one of the best stealth games of the time it was released, with the only possible contender being Assassin's Creed II. I hope I will come back to this game at some other point in my life, since I want to solve all of Riddler's challenges.

Right from the beginning, the Joker will appear here, which is also a guaranteed quality, because in my opinion it is not a better negative from DC. In addition, it is perfectly depicted here and, in my opinion, is one of the best Jokers, whether from games or movies. Batman is also perfect with luxury dubbing. Batman does not have his typical rough voice here, which we may know, for example, from the film trilogy by Christopher Nolan. In short, it's a slightly different voice and a little better for me. But we will move on from the characters, even if they form a crucial role here. For example, I will not mention Harley Quinn or others, because it would be a long time to describe how much I like their processing here. So let's move on to an amazing environment. The Joker's madhouse has its charm. You go through this whole institute and solve various puzzles or ways to get somewhere else with the help of Batman toys, such as explosive gel or others. Of course, what kind of Batman would it be if we didn't have the opportunity to really beat up a few bastards doing trouble to others. Our dark bat hero has a lot of delicious combos here, thanks to which you will give one poem a blow to the enemas. In addition to all this, you can improve Batman with the progress of the acquired XP, so that gradually the battles are even better. The story is amazing and I don't want to spoiler it for you. I will just mention that there is also Scarecrow, which is one of my very favorite characters from the DC world. The passages with him in this game are absolutely luxurious and I swallowed with pleasure. Subsequently, we will see some couple of boss fights, which are also not wrong. In fact, the only mistake of the game is the already mentioned institute in which the game is located. Although I praised him and he is amazing, he is quite small and you will go through it quite quickly. In other words, if you are not interested in the story and you just want to run around the game so freely, you have no option where to go. Otherwise, this is an amazing game, which I recommend, logically mainly to fans of Batman, but I think that even the biggest fans of Batman can enjoy the game. Expand

    Amazing story, great boss fights, controls are really easy to use and allow you to pull of some really fun and satisfying puzzles. The storyline is also really good, and each fight can be approached in many different ways. The only problem I have with this game are the Riddler trophies, which can be a pain to collect, especially when you have already completed the main story.

    Одна из лучших игр про супергероев.

    Начну я свой обзор с того что купил игру на скидках, так как не возлагал больших надежд на данную игру. А прошёл я данную игру буквально сегодня. И могу сказать, что сюжет в этой игре хороший, конечно не без минусов или изъян, но хороший. А вот то, что самое главное в этой игре, для чего я и многие другие купили эту игру, это захватывающие битвы между Бэтменом и Джокером, а также другими злодеями. Раз мы остановились на битвах, я расскажу о минусах:

    Минусы:
    1.Блокирование – С начала игры и практически до её конца игры я не видел, никакой нормальной блокировки, как это было в Arkham City. В нескольких шагах от Бэтмена стоит бандит, и он его не может заблокировать. А вот если он стоит в конце карты, то мы его конечно заблочим!
    2.Битвы с боссами – Всего здесь их три. Первая с Бичем. Вторая с Ядовитым плющом. Третия с Джокером. Битч – легкий. Плющ - легкий. Джокер – легкий. Тут и говорить нечего.
    3.Последний минус это мелкие косяки по типу ног Бэтмена проходящих через голову бандитов, с озвучкой Харли Квин на русском (она мне очень потрепала нервишки) и так далее. Но их можно простить игре 2009 года.

    И, конечно же, плюсы данной игры. К слову их довольно много, поэтому я пробегу по ним быстро:

    Плюсы:
    1.Джокер – ОН АФИГЕНЫЙ ПЕРСОНАЖ. По суть он тащит всю игру на себе.
    2.Лечебница Архем – Проработан каждый дюйм этой лечебницы. Гуляй, где хочешь и делай что хочешь.
    3.Много гаджетов – Название о себе и говорит. Бери в руки бэткоготь и перемешайся из вышки в вышку или же бери в руки бэтеранг и круши врагов.
    4.Биографии персонажей – За это огромное спасибо Rocksteay Studio. Очень много узнал о любимых персонажей и не только.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Batman: Arkham Asylum iyi bir oyun. Hemen oyunun hikayesini anlatayım. Joker, Batman tarafından yakalanıp Gotham'daki akıl hastalarının ve katillerin bulunduğu Arkham Asylum'a getirilir. Jokerin çok kolay yakalanmasından şüphelenen Batman, Joker'e akıl hastanesinin içine kadar eşlik eder. Çok geçmeden Batman'in tahminleri doğru çıkar ve bunun bir tuzak olduğu anlaşılır. Joker, Harley Quinn'in yardımı ile güvenlik görevlilerinden kurtulur ve akıl hastanesinde saklanmaya başlar. Daha sonra Harley Quinn suçluların bulunduğu hücrelerin kapısını açarak onları serbest bırakır ve akıl hastanesinde büyük bir kaos boy gösterir. Bu sırada Batman, komiser Jim Gordon'ın Joker tarafından kaçırıldığını öğrenir ve onu kurtarmanın yollarını arar. Jim Gordon'ı kurtarmak için Joker'in peşine düştüğü sırada Batman, Joker tarafından Scarecrow'un gazına maruz bırakılır ve kabus görmeye başlar. Kabusun etkisinden kurtulduktan sonra hemen Joker'in peşine düşen Batman onu bulur. Fakat Joker, Bane'in vücuduna Titan enjekte etmiştir. Titan, vücuda girdiğinde kas hacmini orantısız şekilde büyütüp güçlendiren bir çeşit formüldür. Formül Dr. Young tarafından bulunmuştur. Batman, Bane'i yener fakat Bane ile dövüştüğü sırada Joker kaçar. Ardından Batman, Jim Gordon'ı kurtarır ve onu Gotham şehrine gönderir. Daha sonra Batman, Joker'in Titan'ı kendi adamlarına enjekte ederek çok güçlü bir ordu kurmayı planladığını öğrenir. Bu yüzden Batman, Dr. Young'ın notlarına ulaşarak Titan formülünün bilgilerine Joker'den önce ulaşmayı amaçlar. Batman notlara daha önce ulaşsa da Joker, Dr. Young'ı tehdit ederek Titan'ı almayı başarmıştır. Joker, Poison Ivy'ye Titan enjekte ederek onu Batman'e karşı kendi safında kullanmayı planlar ancak durum beklediği gibi gelişmez ve Ivy kontrolden çıkarak adayı tek başına ele geçirmeye başlar. Batman, Poison Ivy'nin bulunduğu botanik bahçesine gider ve Poison Ivy'i durdurmak için onunla savaşıp kazanır. Ivy'yi yendikten sonra tekrar Joker'in peşine düşen Batman onu bulur fakat Joker hem Batman'e hem de kendisine Titan enjekte eder, Batman hazırladığı panzehri kontrolden çıkıp canavara dönüşmemek için kendi üzerinde kullanır ve Titan'dan dolayı canavara dönüşen Joker ile savaşır. Batman, Joker ile olan dövüşünü kazanır ve Joker de dahil Arkham Asylum'dan kaçan tüm suçlular tekrar akıl hastanesine geri götürülür, hikaye bu şekilde sonlanır. Oyunun hikayesi bir çizgi roman uyarlamasına göre fena sayılmaz, çok detaylı veya derin bir hikaye olmasa da Batman: Arkham Asylum'ın çıkış yaptığı tarihe kadarki çizgi roman uyarlamalarında bu seviyede bir hikaye yoktu. Hikaye sunumu konusunda da oyun yine ortalama düzeyde, çok iyi bir sunum olmasa da genel olarak sunum iyi düzeyde. Seslendirmelerin hikayeye ve oyuna çok büyük katkı sağladığını söyleyebilirim, Batman ve Joker'in seslendirmeleri özenle ve profesyonelce hazırlanmış, bu da oyuncunun atmosferi sevmesini sağlıyor. Oynanış konusunda da oyun oldukça güçlü. Dövüş sistemi çok keyifli ve günümüzde bile hala kendini oynattırıyor. Özellikle animasyonların çok akıcı olması dövüş mekaniklerini en çok güçlendiren etmen olmuş. Ayrıca dövüş sistemi gayet çeşitli, oyun boyunca açılan yeni silahların dövüşlerde kullanılabilmesi ve yetenek ağacındaki bazı özellikler dövüşlerdeki çeşitliliği arttırıyor. Yetenek ağacından konu açılmışken, oyundaki yetenek ağacı her ne kadar dövüşlerin çeşitliliğine katkı sağlasa da yeteri kadar alternatife sahip değil. Yetenek ağacında mevcut olan yükseltmelerin büyük çoğunluğu dövüşlere yeni hareketler eklemek yerine var olan hareketleri/silahları güçlendirmeye yarıyor. Oynanıştaki en büyük eksikliğe gelelim, yani bölüm sonu canavarı dövüşlerine. Oyunda yalnızca 3 tane eşsiz bölüm sonu canavarı dövüşü var, geriye kalanlar ise aynı dövüşün farklı karaktere karşı yaptığımız hali. Geriye kalan diğer 3 bölüm sonu canavarı dövüşü de iyi sayılmaz, Scarecrow bölümleri fena olmasa da diğerleri olması gereken kalitede değil. Görev çeşitliliği konusunda da oyunda maalesef sorunlar var, görevler bir yerden sonra kendini çok tekrar etmeye başlıyor, oyun genel olarak iyi olsa da aynı şeyleri sürekli yapmak bir yerden sonra sıkıcı bir hal alıyor. Bölüm tasarımı olarak ise oyun gayet iyi, Arkham'ın atmosferi çok iyi sağlanmış. Grafikler günümüz standartlarına göre biraz geride, performans olarak da bazı sorunlar var, ara ara takılmalar yaşadım. Oyunu oynarken herhangi bir hata ile karşılaşmadım. Batman: Arkham Asylum bu haliyle de iyi bir oyun olsa da kendini çok tekrar etmesi gibi sebeplerden dolayı daha iyi olma potansiyelini değerlendirememiş. Expand

    With a good story that unfortunately turns up the ambition up unevenly to its substance by the finale, and decent gameplay that is made much better by the impressive animations, Arkham Asylum is a great start for one of gaming's best franchises.

    First of all,this game has a brilliant story along with challenging arcade style game-play. The voice acting was amazing. Even though it's an 11 year old game yet looks very good. Besides, it's very optimized and runs literally on a potato. Moreover, this game provides different flavors of mini-games in some encounters (For instance stealth, bullet-hell, 2D side scrolling etc.)

    There are some cons.Firstly, the finishing blows in combats are awful. Batman knocks his enemies down by slapping them. Also, Cut-scene graphics is not good. Lastly, the last boss fighting was a little disappointing.

    I find some of the modern games dumb after playing this. Too much details were put into this game and it's awesome. It is highly recommended even if you are not a batman fan.

    The Good Stuff +

    The creepy and horrific Atmosphere and Level Design reinforce the Immersion. The Combat System is very fun and diversified. Every Boss Fight requires a specific and unique strategy to win. The Scarecrow Nightmares were so memorable and well made. The Audio Tapes are very useful to know more about the Character's Lores. It really feels like your a Comic's Super

    The Bad Stuff -

    The bad A.I make the Stealth looks ridiculous.
    An underwhelming Finale.
    Sometimes it loses the track of the enemy, so it kills the smoothness of the Fight.
    Except for Riddler's challenges and Trophies collecting there are no interesting Side Missions.

    Still the best Arkham game. It has the best story and the best atmosphere. The pseudo open-world of the sequels doesn't really add anything except pad out the game time. It makes you think you've got more content, when in reality, you're just spending more time traveling in between missions.

    Batman Arkham Asylum is the best Batman game reboot after many failed games. Its an absolutely amazing game.

The game is semi open world but it is dark and grim, like how you would expect an asylum filled with all the greatest criminals to be. The game is filled with tons of objectives and side missions but the best thing about the game is the combat system that this game introduced into the gaming world. Gone are the days when enemies take turns to punch or shoot you. The takedown and free-flow combat is the best thing this game has to offer to the gaming world. The goons often have funny conversations. This Batman while true to his no-killing rule, does not shy away from crippling the criminals and leaves them to ponder that the sweet release of death would have been better than being crippled for life.

    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area.

    Gameplay is very fluid, being a very linear game until practically completing the game and have the whole area to explore, , but far from that being a problem, because the game is very fluid and pleasant to follow. The combat is very well done with good variations of blows. The problem is for the bosses that 90% are equal to defeat.
    Collectibles are fun to pick up and add a lot in history and other things for those who don't follow Batman stories like me.
    The story is very well told and flows very well and quickly without any fuss.

    too many 10's for my taste. a 10 is a perfect game that hits all the buttons, and while Batman: Arkham Asylum is a really great game, it does have its downsides.

The game has many mini-players to enjoy, including puzzle challenges and extra fighting content, among other things. Now for my little criticisms and why the game doesn't deserve a 10. First, using the detective skill is a bit demeaning. They're not mysteries, more like following this here, taking a picture, moving on, Batman thinks about the rest. My second qualm is the x-ray-like vision you get. This is the most exploitative and useful equipment in the game. I love and hate. It makes these beautiful drops very easy and I am always aware of the presence of everyone else in a room. This really diminishes with the effectiveness of the challenge. Most people would say "Wlel just don't use", but it's there. I don't agree with the assessment on the voice acting as Batman's cold commentary and the big liners made by the Joker and Harley were entertaining. Also, I must defend this game from the idea of ​​non-multiplayer. What do you want, Joker fighting Batman in 1v1? Team play? A multiplayer for this game wouldn't have been more than a cheesy gimmick. My only other qualms were that the plot was a bit short. However, this isn't the game's fallback, it's more the player experience. People new to games or who like to enjoy this time can easily rack up 6-12 hours of gameplay, while the traditional and experienced gamer can probably browse the game in a 4-5 hour session. However, this is just a minor downside, but it would have been fun to see more content. Expand

    There isn’t a single element of Arkham Asylum that isn’t polished to the utmost degree.
