Batman: Arkham City GOTY is a critically acclaimed action-adventure game that immerses players in the dark, gritty streets of Gotham City. With an AI Community Rating of 88.16%, this Game of the Year Edition includes all DLC, offering seven new maps, three playable characters (Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing), and 12 unique skins. The game builds on the success of Arkham Asylum, expanding the world fivefold and introducing a Rogues Gallery of iconic villains like The Joker, Harley Quinn, and Mr. Freeze.

A week ago I was diagnosed with a terminal illness and the doctors have given me a year at best. I'm so glad I was able to play this before I go. I don't know how many people will see this; but I recommend to you to play this game if you do see it. Gameplay, atmosphere, graphics. everything is masterfully crafted. If you read it, thank you and good bye.

I still find myself coming back to this game every two years or so. It reminds me of when times were simpler, and as I get older, the game feels as solid as ever! If you haven't play one of the greatest superhero games, then this is my recommendation to try. The game has great replay value (except Riddler, fuck him) and the entire franchise goes on sale often. If you're looking to sink your teeth into the world of the Dark Knight, then wait for that sale, buy 'em all, you won't regret it!
Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: SecuROM™ So, for that, you may want to skip it entirely. Largely fixing the control problems of Arkham Asylum on PC, Arkham City takes you and throws you into a large environment that allows you to explore and fight in many different interesting and entertaining ways. Control problems out of the way, you are largely free to play the game without concern for what is happening next, you can just go with the flow and not worry about a lack of gadgets. Of course, Arkham Asylum's silly idea of RPG elements are still around, and shouldn't be, but the developer needed to shoehorn in a reason to collect things - other than just it being an entertaining set of puzzles. Unfortunately it does have a problem with game design, Batman does not fight armies of men in hand to hand combat... He fights small groups from time to time, but it is quite rare to see Batman taking on 50 men. Yet in this game, it happens on several occasions, as though the developers wanted you to feel super badass for doing this amazing thing that Batman would think is incredibly stupid and a waste of his time. Batman does not take down armies, he would use a clever gadget to take down most of them, and then mop up the rest. The game is fun, the story is a bit contrived, but that is kind of standard for Batman stories. I could easily recommend this game to players who enjoyed Arkham Asylum and were looking for more.
By far the worst of the four batman games, the story I find to be tedious and incredibly hard to suspend disbelief. Your telling me an assassin wouldn't recognize she just stabbed something made out of mud. Some doctor can kidnap a billionaire and the mayor. Its just to much. The game play is actually ok, but this games open world is mostly empty. I found the side missions to be tedious and not worth doing. The main campaigns missions were actually quite fun. In general this game simply didn't age particularly well. 4/10.
Can't even launch this f***ing game. Everytime I reach the launch page, it closes and reappears over and over again, no matter how many times I click Start. If anyone sees this please post a solution.
I'd probably have loved this game... if I had been able to play it, that is. Let me describe the process real quick: >Start game >See first cutscene >Crash to Desktop >Start game again >Enter menu >Select save state >Crash to Desktop >Search for fixes, find some >Fixes don't do shit I now have a completely unfunctional game! I love playing the menu and loading screen so much, man!
2/5 I did not like this game, I powered through the story and won't be continuing with the side missions. This game showed its age more than Arkham Asylum, especially with the amount of gadgets the game introduces to you. Modern games have gadget wheels for a reason and I just felt like a bumbling year one batman trying to use all the gadgets in creative ways. The gameplay had so many options that it got in its own way. I didn't like switching characters to catwoman. While it could be good in a movie, I didn't want to play as her, and her missions added nothing to the story other than her deus ex machina save of batman in the end. (Also I did not enjoy her movement through the open world, the parkour system was a massive miss for me) Story was alright, Gotham felt like Gotham, and the music was good. Kevin Conroy (RIP) & Mark Hamill knocked it out of the park like always.
