The player is able to complete side missions away from the main story to unlock additional content and collectible items. Batman can freely move around the Arkham City prison, interacting with characters and undertaking missions, and unlocking new areas by progressing through the main story or obtaining new equipment.
The game is presented from the third-person perspective with a primary focus on Batman's combat and stealth abilities, detective skills, and gadgets that can be used in both combat and exploration.

Based on the DC Comics superhero Batman, it is the sequel to the 2009 video game Batman: Arkham Asylum and the second installment in the Batman: Arkham series. It combined the boldness of invention found in “The Dark Knight Returns,” the overwhelming visuals of “Hush” and the intricate storytelling of “The Long Halloween.”īeyond that it was a perfection of the stalk and strike style game made popular by the “Metal Gear” series.Batman: Arkham City is a 2011 action-adventure game developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Warner Bros. It had at its heart the spirit of adventure that marks the great Batman stories. The first installment of this series, “Batman: Arkham Asylum” was such a surprise, not only was it a great gaming experience but it was a genuine addition to the Dark Knight canon.
This was not an easy conclusion to come to and I've struggled with it for some time I had no intention of ever not loving this game. The gameplay is smooth yet still challenging and the voice acting is far and away some of the best you'll hear in video games today, but despite it's individual triumphs, “Batman: Arkham City” adds up to a repetitive and deceptively shallow Batman experience. The details of the environment are so intricately rendered that it seems each corner is its own short story.
