Batman Arkham Asylum took the gaming world by storm in 2009 with its incredible mix of superhero gameplay and smart design decisions, spawning two sequels and a prequel in the form of City, Knight and Origins.

And while there's no doubt Arkham Asylum was an incredible Batman game from start to finish, it's the game's introduction which I think deserves particular praise. In little over an hour, it introduces a wealth of story elements and mechanics to players at a breakneck pace without ever running the risk of overwhelming them.

In this video, I examine in more detail the way Arkham Asylum sets up its narrative, teaches players using believable, in-world scenarios and adapts its level design to work alongside both.
