Asylum: Due to me having played and completed Arkham knight before this. i thought i might struggle with enjoying a batman game set in a very small area. However, the asylum is so densely packed with detail, physical space and unique areas relevant to the main story that it is easily on par with Arkham Knights Gotham. As is typical with the Arkham series the combat can be as simple or as intricate as you like depending on how many of the combos you deign to learn. Conroy and Hamill make the main characters, and their dynamic makes the story so much more enjoyable. 4 stars

The two first Arkham Games have aged like fine wine. Take the comicky story and closed setting from the first, and the improved combat mechanics and tighter controls from the second, and you'd have a perfect action game.
In a vacuum, they're respectively "only" excellent. Which... you know, isn't all that bad either.
