Batman: Arkham city is an incredible sequel to an already beloved game. It starts off with an alarming intro that Hugo Strange has discovered the identity of our beloved vigilante with no warning, you are thrusted into a prison where you have to escape by defeating Penguin and his goons in a wonderful tutorial to reach the Suit. It improves on almost everything Asylum does minus the fantastic atmosphere Asylum has. Combat is faster, more responsive, and overall more satisfying. The addition of an open world worried me as maybe the level design quality would drop, fortunately all my worries vanished during the steel mill missions. Side missions are top notch in this game, I believe the best in the series, with the Zsasz missions and the Identity Theft missions lapping almost every other side mission in the series. The beautiful scenery of Gotham being out of reach is incredible, constantly reminding you of how trapped Batman is in this little tiny part of the city with most of the villains of the series. I must include the Mr. Freeze fight being one of the top moments in the game for me as I was not a bitch and did not use the games hints to try to find out how to defeat him. 6 different ways you have to attack him in a confined room does not seem difficult but as someone as shit as me, it was. Finally my favorite part of the whole game was the final buildup to hugo strange "fight". Slowly working your way up a huge tower all while the beautiful Gotham City lights dance in the background was honestly breathtaking. 8/10 not better than Arkham Knight, fuck you lol
