Arkham City > Arkham Knight Even after all these years, Batman: Arkham City still feels like the moment superhero games figured out what they were supposed to be. It took the already solid foundation of Arkham Asylum and just expanded everything. Bigger world, better combat, more villains, and a story that actually feels like a full Batman graphic novel instead of just a game campaign. I love that Arkham City's …

It is rare for a sequel to not only live up to the gargantuan expectations of a masterpiece like Arkham Asylum but to surpass it in almost every conceivable metric. Batman: Arkham City is more than just a game, it is a triumphant realization of the Batman fantasy, capturing the essence of the Dark Knight with a level of mechanical polish and atmosphere that remains the gold standard for action adventure titles. It …

Honestly, this is easily one of the best games I’ve ever played. I’ve beaten it multiple times at this point, and it just never gets old. The freeflow combat is ridiculously addicting, grappling through the city feels smooth as hell, and the dynamic between Batman and Joker in this story is unmatched. The map size is just right too—not stupidly massive for the sake of it, but packed with actual quality content. …

The absoulute best of the series, Best story, best soundtrack and great side missions to divert from the story. This is probably the best superhero game of all time. A highlight being the boss fights, which sadly no other arkham game was able to replicate to City's quality. While the game is short if you rush it, its fairly replayable. and you have challenge mode to spend some time on to hone your combat/stealth …

"We have positive ID on Batman. He is kicking all kinds of ass down there" What a game! This is what a sequel should be: bigger, better, and more responsive and accessible in almost every department, from graphics to combat, stealth, and exploration. It still holds up after all these years, and let me tell you, it's not just nostalgia. Games like these truly come once a generation. And on top of that, there are DLC …

96% of the 268 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Batman: Arkham City - Game of the Year Edition. The complaint that keeps coming up: riddler trophies are tedious to collect. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

But if you make it so broken ribs, concussions, and guns work 100% like real life, it becomes unimmersive for Batman to exist at all.
