Batman: Arkham Asylum Shelf Point
Batman: Arkham Asylum is a great game. It has made me feel like a brutal martial arts expert, a stealth-killer, an elite techno-hacker - all the things that Batman is. To my mind, that's what a game is for: it makes you feel like you're another person, in another universe so you can experience their story. However, the game has reached a shelf-point for me. I hate rage-quitting, but that's what it made me do. I'm not sure if I'll go back to complete it. I'll explain why. Two types of battle which work really well: Firstly, fighting off a mob of henchmen, with the combo and counter moves. It makes me feel like Batman: I feel anxious to avoid being hit, I weigh up the individual opponents and choose which to take out first, I spread my attacks between multiple opponents and choose a variety of special moves to help. I also like that it slows down time a bit when you need to counter, so you have time to realise it and press the appropriate button. S
