Story

💌 Score: 9/10 👍🏻 Pros ✔️ Gorgeous, atmospheric environments ✔️ Smooth, engaging freeflow combat ✔️ Memorable voice acting from Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill ✔️ Well-paced blend of stealth and action ✔️ Optional Riddler puzzles add replay value 👎🏻 Cons ❌ Some textures and effects show their age ❌ A few repetitive enemy encounters ❌ Occasional camera clipping ❌ Minor bugs in the latest edition ❌ Story is linear with limited branching 🌦️ Introduction Batman: Arkham Asylum (Game of the Year Edition) thrusts players into a dark, atmospheric take on Gotham’s most infamous institution. Stepping into the role of the Dark Knight, you must track down the Joker and prevent chaos from consuming the asylum’s inmates. This prequel to the Arkham series set the standard for modern superhero games and remains a benchmark in its genre. 🖥️ Visuals The game’s art direction is striking, blending gothic architecture with moody lighting to evoke a sense of dread and grandeur. Character models—especially Batman and the Joker—remain detailed and expressive, even years after release. While some textures show their age, the overall presentation still impresses with its cinematic flair. 🎮 Gameplay Arkham Asylum’s core loop of stealth, traversal, and combat feels intuitive and satisfying. The freeflow combat system allows you to string together counters and gadgets for stylish takedowns, while the predator sections let you carve through rooms unseen. A handful of Riddler challenges add optional objectives for completionists without overstaying their welcome. 📖 Story The narrative unfolds like a tense thriller, with the Joker’s twisted plan slowly revealing itself through cutscenes and in-world clues. Voice performances—including Mark Hamill’s iconic Joker and Kevin Conroy’s Batman—elevate the script, giving each confrontation real emotional weight. The plot may be straightforward, but it’s told with flair and memorable moments. 🎧 Audio A powerful score underscores every rooftop patrol and grim corridor. Sound effects—from the roar of the Batmobile to the Joker’s chilling laughter—are expertly mixed, creating an immersive soundscape that keeps you on edge. Dialogue is delivered with conviction, making every exchange feel authentic. 🥂 Overall Even today, Batman: Arkham Asylum stands out as a masterclass in superhero game design. Its compelling mix of story, stealth, and combat—backed by top-tier performances and a haunting atmosphere—means it still holds up as a must-play. Minor technical hiccups and the passage of time don’t detract from what remains one of the strongest Batman adventures ever made.

Franchement, Batman: Arkham Asylum a été une vraie claque pour moi. Dès les premières minutes, on sent qu'on est plongé dans un univers sombre et pesant, avec un Joker plus imprévisible que jamais. Ce n’est pas juste un jeu Batman, c’est une expérience où on est Batman. Le système de combat est hyper fluide, simple à prendre en main mais avec assez de profondeur pour qu’on s’améliore vraiment au fil du jeu. Et les phases d’infiltration, quel kiff ! Se planquer dans l’ombre, observer les ennemis flipper quand ils disparaissent un à un… c’est jouissif. L’histoire est prenante, et voir tous ces vilains emblématiques réunis dans un même endroit, c’est un vrai régal. Mention spéciale aux séquences de l’Épouvantail, qui sont juste géniales et vraiment perturbantes. Seul petit bémol pour moi : certains combats de boss sont un peu en-dessous, surtout Bane et Poison Ivy qui manquent un peu d’originalité. Mais franchement, c’est un détail comparé à la qualité globale du jeu. Bref, un jeu à faire absolument, que tu sois fan de Batman ou non. Moi, je l’ai adoré du début à la fin !

An amazingly fluent brawler, going from mob to mob felt amazing, counters snappy and the utilities just worked without making me frustrated. Bossfights was fun but minibosses felt a bit copypaste. Enjoyed the story and flow of the game.
