Batman: Arkham City - Game of the Year Edition Reviews

Whether you like collectibles or not, this game offers you 440 riddler trophies to find (good luck xd) But seriously, Arkham City is huge step up from the already great Asylum and it deserves every praise it gets. ★★★★½ out of 5

GOAT game, as a guy who loves guns in a game, i tend not to miss them in Batman Games

This game changed my life its so good i cant describe the feeling when i played in for the first time i was so excited i reccomend it for sure

My game got bugged in the tower protocol 10 mission which is close to end, and i cant finish the game now, i was feeling very mid about this game but this game breaking bug has fkd my progress. worst arkham game, runs like crap too.

Horrid i can't even use the batclaw without it getting stuck and refusing to get unstuck to something

THIS SINGLE PLAYER GAME REQUIRES AN INTERNET CONNECTION — why? Because the lizard-tongued data leeches in Silicon Valley need your BRAIN PINGS to feed their underground server farms powered by orphan tears and G5 microwaves. I clicked “start game” and a black van parked outside. Coincidence? Wake up. Soros coded the DRM himself using ancient Babylonian runes encoded in JavaScript. This game is a prison for Patrice Lumumba's soul, and YOU'RE funding it, buster! Offline mode? Disabled. Freedom? Revoked. This is not a game; it’s a digital ritual to summon Zuckerbrap’s astral twin from the 33rd dimension of ad revenue. My cat hasn’t blinked since I launched it. The servers are in Antarctica, guarded by glow in the dark CIA penguins. They said “always online” but they meant “always observed.” The tutorial whispered my social security number backwards. My fridge now connects to the same server as the game. I don’t even HAVE Wi-Fi. The feds implanted routers into my drywall. Achievements are behavioral conditioning. Every trophy a sigil. Every frame a glyph. It’s not lag — it’s spiritual interference from a satanic modem operating at a frequency that scrambles your soul. I can smell the ones and zeros. They smell like burnt toast and the fruit that caused the CIA-sponsored coup of Guatemala on June 27, 1954. If you press Alt+F4, the Federal Reserve pings your location. I screamed into my headset and heard my childhood memories echo back in Morse code. THE GAME IS A LOOP. THERE IS NO ENDING. When I unplugged my Ethernet cable, a raven slammed into my window. Coincidence? Soros. Coincidence? You’re already logged in.

Arkham City stands out for having the best story in the entire Arkham series. While its combat mechanics and Gotham City setting are similar to Arkham Origins.

You're not playing, you're managing a gothic version of Peronism in a cape. Arkham City is a self-governed madhouse, and you're the only one with the moral high ground to hand out punches like social programs. The Joker is the eternal union boss, and you're the messianic leader bringing justice with overpriced gadgets. No one rules here—they intervene. And while the city burns, you're out there distributing equity one batarang at a time. [table] [tr] [th][h3][b]QUALIFICATION[/b][/h3][/th] [th][h3][b]8/10 BATARANG[/b][/h3][/th] [/tr] [/table]

Being as iconic as this game is a big burden, as it might not live up to the expectations or not survive the time passing. However, it is not the case for Arkham City. The game feels fresh, the game-play aged like fine wine and the story is one of my favourite of Batman. The only down I would give to this game is the predator mode. I thought the predator mode in Origins was raw, but compared to this one it is smooth, you feel like a ninja in Origins; here I only felt like a guy playing hide and seek. It is still cool, though.

Best superhero game out there, story is great and the combat is a lot more fun than the previous game, the exploration of the city never feels boring and is plenty to do on it. 9/10 The 100% achievement on the otherhand is too much of a grind and on many ocassions is extremely unfair, stay away if you love your sanity.
