Can You Beat Batman: Arkham Asylum Without Detective Mode

Haven't played Asylum in over a year, so I thought I'd let it be first game in this new challenge series. It was a pretty fun and quick little challenge I'd recommend you try yourself.
I also lost the first third of the footage for this challenge while Premiere was glitching out, so I had to record it all again. So, if you see any discrepancies between my commentary and the gameplay before the second Scarecrow section, that's why. I already took the time to redo the gameplay, I'm not going to change the script and my narration as well. Plus it's kinda funnier this way.

Then, approach the two balcony snipers on the left of the mansion and crouch behind the plants to avoid the sniper. Once below him grapple up and perform a ledge Takedown and shimmy around to the other and ledge Takedown him

Detective mode really should have had a use / recharge time limit. Just say it was because it required too much battery power to run continuously, or that the high-intensity x-rays would kill enemies if left on too long. Or whatever other reason, it doesn't really matter. Purposefully limiting your use of detective mode makes the games _much_ more challenging and enjoyable IMO.

This feels like a very bare-bones Batman. Maybe Detective Vision can only be used for following trails without seeing people through walls. That adds an extra challenge while still justifying its existence and use. Basically, in-Universe, Defective Vision can’t show what’s behind a wall or what someones heart rate is. It’s only used for detecting clues, such as finger prints, blood trails, etc. That would create a narrative reason why Batman doesn’t use it all the time, because it’s not designed for predator sections

2:45 not sure if someone else already mentioned this, but on Easy mode you don't have to use detective mode because you can just barrel through the thugs and barely survive.

@HOTD108_ 5 ай бұрын

Not true because the game forces detective mode several times. Unless you meant just in predator sections, in which case you're still wrong because plenty of people have beat the game on Hard without detective mode, which is can be consistently replicated so long as you remember enemy placements.
