What a sequel. Opening is so strong, throws you straight in there. Took the claustrophobia of Asylum and opened it all up. Love when games do that. Combat is better in every way. Things are more fluid for sure. Villains were stronger in the first game in my opinion but you can’t deny that the Mr. Freeze boss fight was brilliant. But I’m gonna go out on a whim and say the Ra’s al Ghul fight was even cooler. This game felt a lot shorter than Asylum for some reason but I was definitely more satisfied with the ending. That part where Alfred is talking to you and the theme kicks in at the end, the stakes were so high there. The ending was really satisfying too. Asylum and City are both very good games but this does almost everything better.

Idk if you played Arkham Knight, but in my opinion it is without a doubt the best in the series, anything you see in City is brought up to an incredible and refined standard. Better story, level design, DEFINITELY better side missions, which make sense to be played alongside the story and aren't added as an afterthought. Don't look at my review because it has spoilers but I'd love to know what you think of it

I’m definitely gonna get to it. Watched my bro play it at launch and got spoiled but it’s still gonna be fresh for me. A quarter through Arkham Origins but it’s kinda losing me..
