mesmo sendo o primeiro ainda sim é muito bom e bem tranquilo de platinar, joguei no ps3 e agora platinei no pc
Peak Batman simulator, Still holds up perfectly. 9/10
Machen wir es kurz und Schmerzlos. War bestimmt mal ein Banger an Spiel. Heute ohne Nostalgie ist es eher mittelmäßig. Vor allem das Kampfsystem hab ich als recht langweilig empfunden. Die Story und alles andere ist okay nicht mehr nicht weniger. 6/10
Highly Recommended. 9/10* HOLLY SHEET! I've got this game for sale a decade ago and almost forgot i had it, i've been playing it recently and no fakin way, the game still looks gorgeous 16 years later, some models may not age that well, like harley queen, but batman, the joker and even the random guard npcs looks stunning, also every scene looks good, the only thing that bothers me is that ocassional green piss filter, it gave me nauseas, but the gameplay is solid, the combat is really good, the detective puzzles, ooooof you really feel like you're playing as the batman. Really miss when Warner used to do good games. You can get the arkham trilogy for cheap on sale, it has achievements, steam cards, and can be family shared, no complains at all(except for that green piss filter)
16/20 – Très bon Je l'avais fait à l'époque sur PS3, et je l'ai redécouvert ici en 4K 120 Hz sur écran PC OLED. Forcément, l'expérience visuelle est bien meilleure, avec une image plus propre et des 60 FPS constants, mais dans le fond, le jeu reste toujours aussi bon. L'histoire est réussie, les personnages sont intéressants et l'ambiance de l'univers Batman est parfaitement retranscrite, bien sombre comme on aime. Les points forts du jeu restent les combats, l'infiltration et l'utilisation des nombreux gadgets de Batman, qui offrent une vraie sensation d'incarner le Chevalier Noir. La bande-son est également de qualité, et les idées proposées pour les combats de boss sont intéressantes, avec des affrontements qui sortent du simple schéma classique. La durée de vie est correcte, surtout si l'on prend le temps de faire les différents défis proposés après avoir terminé l'histoire principale. Cela permet de prolonger l'expérience et de profiter davantage des mécaniques de combat et d'infiltration du jeu. Malgré son âge, Batman: Arkham Asylum reste encore aujourd'hui un très bon jeu d'action-aventure. Il a posé de solides bases pour la suite de la saga et conserve une vraie identité. Je recommande sans hésitation !
7.5/10 i feel you had to be there for it during the time it came out. not a bad game tho also it was locked at 62 frames
IM BATMAN
Muito bom.
This game has aged like a fine wine. Still my favourite incarnation of The Batman (sorry Robert Pattinson) and probably still the best superhero game ever made (sorry Spider-Man). Everything about this game makes you feel like the badass caped crusader. An atmospheric environment and a compelling narrative. An array of villains, gadgets that are incorporated into the open world exploration, and of course the real star of the show, the combat. The sequels definitely made many improvements to the combat, but there's a purity to this first game that gives it a unique flavour. The later games incorporated the ability to cancel out of a punch into a counter and while that definitely improves on the fun factor, it also makes those games much less satisfying. You really have to earn the right to feel like a badass in this game. The biggest weakness is probably the boss fights. Outside of Scarecrow, they're not great from a mechanics standpoints. Definitely an area that is improved upon in the sequels, but here they're more of a visual spectacle than they are fun gameplay encounters. Thankfully the core combat is enough to carry this whole game.
Having now played both Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham Origins, I can confidently say that I enjoyed Arkham Asylum more. Which is funny, because it's the older game. The premise is simple: Batman escorts Joker into Arkham Asylum, only for Joker to reveal that the whole thing was a setup. What follows is one long night of chaos as Batman fights his way through escaped inmates, supervillains. Arkham Asylum feels isolated, dangerous, and unpredictable. Every area has its own personality, from the creepy medical facilities to the abandoned tunnels and botanical gardens. The entire island feels like a character itself, and the game does a fantastic job making you feel trapped alongside Batman. Game was not as good as the later batman games as alot of mechanics is missing but it gives the right amount for a early 2008 and old game. Alot of Factors are missing from Origins But I enjoyed this one more as there is no bugs. (Funny Thing is I Made this review right after finishing Origins but i finished Arkham Asylum First! xD) Achievements was slightly easier to obtain as well. Less stress. Less Pain. The predator sections are also some of my favorite parts of the game. There's something satisfying about silently taking down enemies one by one while they slowly realize they're being hunted by Batman. The villains are excellent as well. Joker completely steals the show, but Scarecrow, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Bane, and Killer Croc all have memorable moments throughout the story. Unlike some of my frustrations in Arkham Origins, Arkham Asylum gave me a much smoother experience overall. I spent more time enjoying the game than fighting bugs, achievement issues, or broken side content. Is it perfect? No. The game definitely shows its age in some areas, and some boss fights are stronger than others. But even today, Arkham Asylum remains one of the best superhero games ever made and a fantastic introduction to Batman's world. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Ancient But Golden For Its Time.
