I love this game. Ever since I first played it I instantly fell in love with the game and batman as a series. Rocksteady created an experience that blends together near perfectly. The characters are superb carrying the story with Mark Hamil's joker being the star of the show. The game really integrates you into the world through character bios and interview tapes creating a world beyond just the games scope grounding the game in a deluded reality. The gameplay is one place where the game shows it's age with the brand new free flow system feeling clunky compared to more modern imitations and a lack of stealth options. The boss fights are also poor unfortunately, with one "terrifying" exception. While these might feel like big issues they barely impact the metroidvania greatness of arkham asylum that is only enhanced by hunting down the pesky riddler trophies.
