Arkham City somehow manages to top Asylum in almost every department. The combat feels more polished, there are plenty more gadgets to spice up stealth/puzzles and boss battles are far better designed with the Mr Freeze fight arguably being one of the greatest in any game. Arkham City itself manages to pack plenty of variety and engaging side content within its walls. Some of the standouts involve Mad Hatter and Deadshot, though Riddler can shove all 440 of his trophies where the sun doesn’t shine! However, what stands out above all is the story. Mark Hamill’s performance as the Joker is sublime and you never know what to expect next with so many twists and turns, climaxing with a jaw dropping ending. It’s not perfect, but Arkham City is still an absolute masterpiece that needs to be experienced.
