A strong follow up to Asylum, but while most claim it to be the best of the Arkham series I personally don't quite agree. Rocksteady manage to do almost everything far better in City with a great new selection of gadgets, a larger open world to explore and traverse through, and a wide array of challenges to lose yourself trying to complete. The story is also a lot stronger this time around with good pulls on the comic characters and a genuinely bold ending.

City does lose a little of Asylum's charm though and that's really my personal gripe with it. Opening up the world ends up making the game feel less claustrophic and horror-inducing than the original. There's still that feeling of spookiness there with my favourite area revolving around the old Gotham "City of the Future!!!" business ripped straight out of Mask of the Phantasm, but due to the game now being set right in Gotham itself instead of a dillapidated gothic castle, it's just not quite the same.

Still, a strong second entry to the Arkham series.
