An absolute classic

First I beat this game on Steam, then Rocksteady removed the GFWL DRM breaking all savegames in the process, so I did the only reasonable thing, play it again. Then, out of the blue, it showed up on GoG and was an insta buy for me, and here I am, playing it yet again. Is really THAT good. It's true that after playing Arkham City, going back to Asylum feels weird, since you are missing so many moves, but I think both games complement each other perfectly. You have the more open world like experience in AC, where here is more like solving a maze, and while the gameplay in AC is supperior (I actually got all achievments in that game, all secrets, all challenges and everything), the story in Asylum is definitely supperior, and combined with the amazing atomsphere and the recording tapes, this is one of those games you just can't bring yourself to stop playing. A must play for sure.

Still a solid piece of gameplay

It was a cool return, not perfect, as the game has aged a bit, but it's still a solid game, making very good use of Batman's villains gallery and a great start to a new interpretation of the Dark Knight's universe. It has a great combat system, very good stealth sections, and engaging collectibles (which not only add a lot to the story but also provide a side-story conclusion to the Riddler and Arkham Ghost storylines). The graphics and animations in the cutscenes may be outdated, the fights with mutants often look similar, and the final fight is so-so, but that doesn't detract from the quality of this game.

Amazing

This is biased. Arkham is one of my favorite game series, and I have 100% completed Asylum once on PS3, once on GFWL and now the GOTY here on Steam. Arkham City is by far my favorite game of all time so knowing that I had a bit of pink glasses coming into the game in 2022, let’s go: POSITIVES: +Presentation+ Even this many years later the atmosphere is great. The island is dark and dreary and it really feels that a lot of work has gone into every inch. The whole place is dripping with lore. The Riddler’s challenges will focus your attention on some of them, but it pays to look at this game’s assets and discover minor details that will pleasantly surprise comic book fans. The art direction barring a couple of designs for me is absolutely amazing. +Graphics+ The game holds up even this many years later, especially if you enable some additional bells and whistles in the modded launcher or manually within some game files. Textures and lighting, everything is beautiful, and it is amazing to think that this was a PS3 generation game. I have noticed a couple of shader glitches that got resolved by just reloading a checkpoint, and I do mean just two or three in 27 hours of gameplay. A notable glitch I did encounter was connected to the game’s physics engine. Foliage layers would just hover above the ground sometimes, and stacks of pages that were apparently modeled to fly apart with realistic physics when knocked from desks would instead just spread apart as if in exploded view. Neither physics glitch affects the game. +Gameplay+ As the first game in the series, the ideas of my favorite combat system are there, but since this is closer to the prototype some of them are at this stage too simplistic. The number of possible takedowns in predator mode is not that big, especially compared to future entries, and the AI is somewhat stunted. Where the game shines, is the crowd combat mechanic. This is basically the dream of the martial artist where he/she is surrounded by enemies that he crumples to the ground with devastatingly precise and powerful strikes. There are essentially 4 enemy types and 3 boss types, each with its own mechanic. Batman chooses from a vast move set that is accessible via the face buttons, and the goal is to enter this amazing flow state, where every point on the combo meter fills great and every move presents an opportunity for triumph or failure. There are a couple of mechanics that seem to not work perfectly, however, which can be frustrating if you are trying to do a perfect freeflow playthrough of the game on hard like I was. +Story+ The story and characters are all shaped in a classic comic book aesthetic, which works great in the game. Mark Hamill is flawless as Joker, and the rest of the cast is great. The only downside to the story is that while short, there are still a couple of places it manages to drag on a bit, but it’s a minor and easily forgivable sin given the total level of quality. NEUTRALS: =Music= While the soundtrack fit the atmosphere perfectly, and there were a couple of standout moments, there is no singular track or theme that stayed with me after the playthrough. It is by no means bad, just not exceedingly remarkable. CONCLUSION: This is the first entry in my favorite game series. Playing the beginning even 13 years later still felt amazing, even though this time I did see a couple of minor stitches in this cozy magical blanket. Playing this game just makes me happy. If you haven’t played it, I can’t recommend it enough.

A landmark game

Even after all these years, Arkham Asylum stands as strong as when it first came out. The free-flow combat, the atmosphere, the way the world and the characters themselves are fleshed out, all the easter eggs and references to comics and the mythos. PhysX support may be iffy nowadays and the various gameplay and original ideas systems were further improved in later games, but Arkham Asylum is a gem any way you look at it
