Batman delivers the Joker to Arkham Asylum just as the Joker seizes control of it. Rocksteady combined freeflow combat, stealth and detective work in a tight, twisting setting. It proved superhero games could be great.
Kit's verdict · 9.1/10
The game that broke the superhero curse, tight and atmospheric from start to finish.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Freeflow combat is fresh and fun
- Excellent predator stealth
- Scarecrow sequences are brilliant
Not so much
- Boss fights are weak
- Detective vision is too tempting to leave on
Play it if batman fans and anyone who loves a compact, atmospheric action game.
Skip it if players who want a big open world.
