This was before the series made a pivot to open-world, so its Metroidvania structure feels more focused, with Bruce gaining new tools that let him explore new areas of the asylum and face new foes.
Arkham Asylum opened with a grimy intro sequence during a rainy Gotham City night, and that vibe doesn't let up as Batman contends with the Joker's takeover.
The rest of the Arkham games were good in their own right, but none of them quite captured the same feeling of entrapment and dread you feel in Asylum.
Looking back at where it all began, Arkham Asylum was a truly remarkable experience that set a new bar for what we expect out of a superhero game.
