Can I Run Batman: Arkham Asylum?
Rocksteady Studios released Batman: Arkham Asylum in 2010. It is an action adventure game, published by WB Games. It offers a single player campaign. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. 5 languages are covered by the store listing. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Critics scored it 91 on Metacritic. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. It carries 47 achievements. With more than 60 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented.
