Better than Arkham asylum in every way possible. Boss fights have been cut down significantly which is something I’m incredibly thankful for since I disliked the majority of the ones in Arkham Asylum and the story, environment and characters are all way more interesting.

The atmosphere and architecture of Arkham Asylum are both excellent and all of the villains are really fun but The boss fights are just awful (beside scarecrows which are basically just platforming rather than a boss fight) and Batman as a character is incredibly flat. Hopefully Arkham city is better

I’ve had my low moments when it comes to this game but overall it comes together as such a beautiful experience to play that those bad moments don’t bother me. The story is simple but it’s done so in a way that basically anybody can relate to the main characters goal in one way or another. The characters, The level design, The mechanics and The beautiful pixelated graphics come together to craft One of the best Indie games ever.
