Finished re-playing "Batman Arkham Asylum"

I've played this game years ago when I was really young and I can't remember a lot from it, so I decided to replay the whole Arkham Trilogy. I enjoyed this game but not to the point that a lot of people claim. Bare in mind "Arkham City" is one of my favorite games and it has a special place inside me because it was one of the first games that I've bought on PC and it became one of my favorites really quick (Being my favorite game changed over the years and "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" takes that place right now and I gotta say it's hard to beat that game). Anyway back to Arkham Asylum. I've completed this game 100% on Hard mode except for the stealth challenge maps. Comparing this game to the other Batman games. I didn't find the story all that interesting to be honest. The best parts that caught my attention were the Scarecrow parts which were awesome! But overall Arkham City's story for me is better and has more interesting story, pacing and plot twisting. Talking about the gameplay of the game. Comparing it to the other Arkham games it's pretty bare bones. Also you can't slide or vault over angled handrails. Also there are a lot of mechanics from the other games that I wanted to be here but weren't. This is understandable because it was Rocksteady's first Batman game, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't compare it to the other games. What this game nails honestly is the atmosphere of the game. Arkham Island with its gloomy dark colors worked perfectly with this game. Also the crazy prisoners that you face later on ensures you that this is an Asylum. Also you know what's funny? "The Spirit of Arkham" story that you hear through collectibles was honestly more interesting to me than the main story ???? . Overall this game was good and I imagine it would've been amazing when it came out (2009) and it deserved all the 9/10s and the 10/10s it was getting. But I will say it was my least favorite Arkham game including "Arkham Origins".

Next: "Batman Arkham City"
