4/5 ★ – dylanhenning's review of Batman: Arkham Asylum.

*I’ve played most of this game on other platforms but this review is based on my experience with the Return to Arkham version for PS4 (played on PS5) There’s a lot to like with this game. You’ve got an engaging story, iconic Batman characters and villains, and an iconic voice cast led by Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy. Where this game falters a bit is in its combat. It’s clunky at times and at one point near the end where it’s needlessly challenging. The Arkham series is a bright spot for Batman (and superhero games in general) but I have a feeling that Arkham Asylum is merely the foundation and this series will only improve from here.
