Batman: Arkham Asylum is a perfect blend of wonderful game mechanics, as well as a comic-accurate story, setting, and character cast that feels authentic to the source material. The grounds of the asylum are familiar but unsettling, and as Joker has taken control of the facility, it never feels like Batman has any kind of lasting grip on the situation. To some, its sequels improve on it, but the first game has arguably aged better than any and is still a tremendous experience to this day.
