Batman Arkham Asylum is basically a horror game 

Rocksteady did such a GREAT job with the horror elements in these games. Scarecrow's nightmares, the Killer Croc chase, the Solomon Grundy easter egg, the Man-Bat jumpscare etc. But what always got me and still does whenever I replay Arkham Asylum, is those damn lunatics who jump at you lol. They're like Outlast inmates.

playing it at 6 years old haunts me even now especially the croc fight

Literally every scene with Killer Croc is ripped straight out of a horror movie. “I’ve got your scent Batman! I will hunt you down.” “A toy collar won’t keep me from killing you. I’ll rip you apart. Eat your bones.”

Here’s what scared me most to least 1.killer croc 2.warden sharps shiny head 3.maniacs 4.scarecrow 5.bane running at you

Scarecrows part in this game still traumatises me to this day…

18:36 well, his mouth wasn’t moving because we hear what he is thinking, every game/show/game should do the same

FYI Batmans mouth doesn't move when he is talking to himself because it's meant to be more of a mental monologue, aka the player is heading Batmans thought process in real time. : )

I ain't gonna lie. The Killer Croc level for the first time scared me. I always keep telling myself: When did Batman turn into a horror game? 🤣

The graphics, the soundtrack, the silent hill inspired inmates appearences, the terryfying hilusinations, the jumpscares, trapped inside a mental asylum full of these inmates Yep I'd say this is a horror game where you can acually fight back

I was already an adult when this game came out. The morgue scene messed with me the most.

Arkham Asylum was originally a horror comic so yeah... That's why its rated M. So you're not wrong, man.

Killer crocs game over scene is to terrifying to watch

I replay this every October. I think City and Knight are better games but Asylum has a creepy atmosphere that newer games cant match

4:38 As someone who's played this game as a 10 year old kid, hell yeah this game is a good intro as a whole to horror games AND the game does a great job at keeping it subtle by not just throwing you horror encounters in the face all the time yet the game's atmosphere keeps you feeling tense all the same. The thing that scared me the most in this game as a kid, even downright stopped me from progressing ahead in the game wasn't Scarecrow's nightmares or Killer croc's boss fight; it was the Lunatics. Their reveal in itself is quite dramatic, the game has been progressing at a steady pace so far, you've only met the twisted but somewhat sane inmates. However, you wouldn't think that the asylum also harboured truly deranged lunatics as well. The cutscene where they're released was pretty anxiety inducing, kudos to that great atmosphere again. The sheer unpredictability of the Lunatics to not be able to be detected by detective mode in addition to their jumpscares (sound included) terrified the living daylights out of me, paused me from playing any further and it wasn't until I was older that I went back to replay this masterpiece.

It hasn't even begun to be a horror game yet

"did anyone catch the game last night" -it traumatizes me

The best way to play this game is to play it at 3:00 Am with the lights out and with headphones.Really enhances the horror atmosphere

Bro, I remember playing the scarecrow levels, and they actually gave me the weirdest nightmares. For example, I was actually playing The Game in my nightmares. But the dialogue was different. Characters went off script, and Scarecrow would always say the weirdest things. Sometimes, the level design would be different, and blah blah blah, you get what I'm saying. Those were some good time, lol

I'm going out as this version of Scarecrow for Halloween. The very character that gave me nightmares when I was younger.

Can’t believe dude hasn’t got wayyyy more subs and I mean no disrespect, deserves to be in the millions. Started watching when Jedi Survivor came out and I’ve binged loads of his content since. Elite.

Just finished it again the other day. Still makes me feel paranoid. Especially during that killer croc boss fight

Scarecrow is a 10/10 in this game

I got this game from my cousin for Christmas when I was like 11 or 12 and the back cover art alone made me too scared to play the game for like 2 years. I’m glad I finally did because it was instantly one of my favourite games of all time.

flow i love watching these batman vids keep it uppp

I wish they did more of this with some superhero games. Spiderman gone to the raft. Everythings gone out of control. Spiderman doesn't want to alert the Military because of his no killing rule to. So he tries to put them back in order himself. Sandman can be like Clayface, Mysterio can be like Scarecrow, Green Goblin is obviously the Joker, Lizard being Killer Croc and Rhino being Bane.

I hope you finish this game as well as the others, some of the best superhero gaming content you will experience, especially City. I’m glad I stumbled upon this channel

Cannot believe bro missed Joker saying he will give him Harley

16:18 "listen, when im trying to finish your friend off" is crazy 💀💀💀

I remember playing this when I was 19, this game some times used to give me Slient Hill vibes.. but this Batman game is A masterpiece

Its terrifying especially if you dont have detective mode on and lunatics jumpscare you

I remember being so scared during the killer croc fight that I couldn’t even finish it. Wasn’t until a few years later that I actually conquered it and beat the game.

22:00 to be fair it was a unexpected break out, and the prisoners always travel in groups and he is just one guard

This game it was around 2009 i was 9 yrs old and i got scared when the scarecrow face gets out of that thing that used to be scarry for me and the crockboy

I love this game like it’s my own child. I’ve already played it so many times, and it’s a game I’m gonna be revisiting even 20 years from now. Absolute masterpiece👌🏻👏🏻

The part where he opens the zip and finds his parents dead bodies scared tf out of me as a kid

Batman Arkham VR is the greatest first person horror game I've seen.

We need a Batman horror game that's like DBDL but you can fight back but it's hard

Dark, horrible and lonely fierce detative man. That's him.

Croc used to have me stuck on his sewer fight because i was to scared and didnt know he was gonna jump out of the water

OH NO BATMAN HIGH AS SHIT got me rollin

Yeah I just got done replaying it after like a decade and when I was younger I don't remember the game being as disturbing as it really is, the lunatics running around jumpscaring you, ominous killer croc noises, the wheelchairs flipped on their side with a spinning wheel and blood coming from them hinting to jason todd being tortured seconds before you entered the room, the arkham speaker tune occasionally getting more and more distorted and jokers subtitles like covering half of your screen. This game was obviously designed to be a sort of horror game, they had to tone it down with arkham city.

The Batclaw is super OP in this game, especially when you get the tripple Batclaw

18:36 his mouth is not moving cause that's his thoughts we hearing we do get that many time

Well when Bane got hit by Batmobile he didn't die because he comes out in Arkham City

I revisit this game once every couple of years and it’s still a banger

I thought so too, until i had that last part in Knight. Then i realized that i as Batman was the real horror.

18:36 hes talking telepathically

"Reading the last page first? Shame on you bats." -Mista Jay

This game came out at the perfect age of 14 for me, what an entry game.

Batman’s high Batman’s high JUST CONTINUE

This playthrough is getting crazy

Just a tip of advice you can hang them upside down if you let them get underneath you when you are on the gargoyles by pressing (Y)or(triangle)

Nah man, scarecrow messed with me as a kid. I made my best friend Donovan play all scarecrow parts because I genuinely couldn't play.

i still remember playing this when i was a kid and i was freaked out. Its a great game though

When I was 10 years old the Scarecrow part traumatized me every time I played it and I couldn’t finish it I stopped on his boss part because I was scared 😂

2:08 100% The Evil Within 1 vibes right there. I think its fascinating how this game resembles EW1 to me for some reasons, graphics, many scenarios are exactly the same, mental hospital and crazy dudes all around the place. I wouldnt say i got scared in this game like many people say, but thats probably because i played already as adult and played Evil Within 1 and 2 before, but i can totally understand the dark feeling the game has and its really amazing for a super hero game. The morgue scene instantly made me remember EW2 as well.

lol just wait til he gets to crocs part

Yeah, I was terrified of this game when I was little!

Bro your Batman Arkham asylum videos are really good I hope you play the other Arkham games too

2:16 First time i played this i spent 20 minutes in that room, imagine my shock after that when i went back "out"

14:24 how he died during that ko animation 😂😂😂

Bane could tear the Batmobile apart, he knew he wouldn’t die

The lunatics are terrifying to hear and deal with

4:42 Literally- like, no joke. I played this game when I was 8 years old, and I literally stopped playing it because it was just too creepy for me! And this is one of my favorite video games off all time, mind you! 2 years, I just stopped playing halfway through, and then I got back when I was like, 10. Horrifying!😂 Edit: the croc fight was worse too!!! Thalassaphobia got the better of me, and I just stopped for like, another I wanna say year, or a couple months!

I died in the Croc fight after I used the line launcher instead of walking

Thanks for the uploads man

Arkham asylum is the resident evil we never got

I remember playing this as a 12 yearsold or something and every time the scsrecrow appears I was like "holy shit, that's enough for today" xd

During the nightmare hallucination with kid Bruce, notice how the final confrontation with Scarecrow happened right after he remembered Gordon’s words and kindness to him all those years ago. Like Gordon gave him the strength to resist and fight back. 🥲

Batman: These edibles ain't shit Alfred. * *5 Minutes later:* *

croc chase gives me nightmares to this day

batman telling bane "this time, i break you!" is still my favorite comic reference

Ufortantly you wont experiance getting a blue screen of death 😋

Croc fight scares me every time

His mouth wasn’t moving because he was thinking in his head.

You need to upgrade your skills like stealth and gadgets

It pains me when you walk past the joker teeth

Those red eyes,I thought it was Superman😂

11:50 like a toy jeep to bane he fine

That upgrade button is giving me anxiety.

16:29 I just him so hard in the chest he's holding his head 😭😭

Ofcourse it was all like a horror games mostly because this was a madhouse surrounded with the most freaky villains of Gotham city, Joker, Scarecrow, Victor Zsasz, Killer Croc, Bane, and Harley Quinn. They are all more freaky than the more practical or reasonable like Penguin, Two Face, Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Ra’s Al Ghul , Catwoman and some more

No clue how I finished this game at 7 years old, I remember being terrified of the lunatics and killer croc lol

11:38 WOAHHHHH why batman gyatt that?

Oh, wait and Batman doesn’t kill he just knocked them out unconscious

Finally someone used the horror tumb nail for the right mission

I will never forget this game, and never forget how the devs had me thinking my game crashed 😮‍💨 absolutely love this series

1:05 Bradley Martin reference xDDD

The croc level scared me

If you think arkam asylum is bad, don't get me started on Professor Pyg and Man Bat in arkam Knight

This game is almost manhunt, cant imagine if it have more blood on stages and fatality cutscene

Arkham Origins and Arkham Knight are horror games too, for different reasons, and I loved them both besides the reasons below. I absolutely hate the final fight with Bane in AO, the one where you needed to hide behind walls and under crates, because it's genuinely tough. AK is a horror game because of all the tedious tank fights.

Batman on that crazy shit at the start

it'd be cool if there's a horror game where we are the thug trying to escape from batman

Scarecrow would genuinely be the best drug dealer in the DC universe if he gave up on trying to make everyone scared with gas

Bro u got an upgrade for Bats

With the grapple hook you can pull the enemy over the edge of rails to knock them out

Unnecessary bat logo to blow this wall up😭😭 realest thing I’ve heard

The Arkham games are just built different

When batman's mouth is not moving when he talks it's supposed to be him thinking in his head.
