Played as part of the Return to Arkham collection

I'm a stealth game hater, I find stealth incredibly boring and frustrating. Luckily for me, Batman Arkham Asylum didn't have too much stealth, just enough that it definitely left me mad a couple times. However the rest of the combat is very fun and visually satisying, if not quite easy.

Without spoilers, the context of the game itself is fun, especially as it puts you in the perfect position to see a ton of your favourite Batman villains, and fight half of them at that.

I think one of my main qualms of the game is that you need to use detective mode pretty much all the time, which hurts the game visually. I found myself switching out of detective mode at times just to remember how the game is meant to look.

I had a good time overall, but can't help but hope that the sequels are a bit better. A must play for Batman fans
