Good morning people! today I want to talk to you about a game that I consider one of the best, Batman Arkham Asylum! It's a game made by Rocksteady Studios. It's certainly a title that has everything we could want from a Batman game. The villains are amazing, as are the situations that arise. This game is so dark and crude, that we think we are in the True Gotham of comics, just listen to the audio records and see the biographies to realize that it is not a game for children.

Although it is a story partly based on comics, it feels like a completely new story, the graphic novel Arkham Asylum is considered by far one of the best of Batman as well as this game.

It all starts when Batman captures the prankster who caused a fire in Blackgate prison and decides to take him to the Arkham Asylum. Batman is suspicious because it seems too easy as he captured it, suddenly the lights go out, and the prankster disappears, he has escaped and the alarms have begun. With the help of Harley Quinn, The Joker takes control of the building and begins to free the villains and leave the dead people on the road. Commissioner Gordon is kidnapped with the help of a corrupt police officer and Batman must follow a series of clues to find him.

On our way to stop the Joker we will meet different villains like Zsas, Killer Croc, The Scarecrow, Bane and Poison Ivy, each one has its own essence and there are different ways to defeat them. Characters like Killer Croc and The Scarecrow are scary when they appear, especially if you have earphones! These villains cause a real challenge for Batman that will be affected psychologically. With the scarecrow toxin he begins to hallucinate reliving tragic moments of his childhood, seeing the bodies of his parents and even seeing Commissioner Gordon dead! Of course, later he would realize that nothing was real.

Batman will discover the plans of the joker, who has been developing a drug more powerful than Bane's called Titan and has begun to use it in his followers to turn them into great monsters, Batman goes ahead and begins to look for an antidote. The final fight against the joker is undoubtedly one of the best moments of the game, the joker invites Batman to his "Party" where he is kidnapped Gordon, the joker tries to inject the drug but batman gets in the way and is the one who injects it, Batman instantly uses the antidote and the joker when he sees that it doesn't work he gets upset and injects the drug Titan and challenges Batman to a fight, everything happens on the roof of a building where they are being seen by the helicopters in the news.

GAMEPLAYABILITY

If anything stands out batman arkham asylum is in its playability when we go on our adventure chasing the joker, we will meet many of his henchmen who are in groups, we can get in the middle of everyone and go dodging and hitting or we can leave them knocked out one by one stealthily, I always liked more the first option, it is satisfactory that you are around 10 subjects and you are knocking them out while jumping down the back to make big combos and when you lose these scenes of villains talking to you are a great success.

In addition to many collectibles such as audio records or biographies that we can unlock and that will give us data about other characters and villains, there are riddles of the Riddler worth the redundancy, and are very interesting each one of them, I spent a long time doing and I realize why the riddle is so crazy.

CONCLUSION

This game has become the best comic book videogame of all time, it has a good number of villains, it has a good narrative and is gradually getting us into the story while they are introducing us to other characters and their stories through the audio recordings. The voices are masterful, Mark Hamill is undoubtedly the voice of the joker, and the voices of Batman and Poison Ivy stand out from the rest.

This game will be as remembered as the movie The Dark Night by Nolan, the experience I had when playing this game I have had with few, is such that when I finished it for the first time I realized that I had it in easy mode, without hesitation I created another game and I put the difficult mode and I put myself as a challenge to finish it 100% and so I did it and all the time this game knew how to keep me stuck to the TV, the game won the title of Game of the Year in 2009 and well deserved.
