Batman Arkham Asylum was already a great game, with many fantastic features that made playing as the Dark Knight an amazing experience. But Arkham City took all that to the next level, in almost every possible way. As a Batman fan, I'd say this game is worth a purchase even at full price. Especially with a story by Paul Dini, the writer for Batman TAS? This purchase is a no brainer.
The second entry of the Arkham franchise takes Arkham Asylum and adds a spruce of open world. If you've played the first one, you must play this one too. Arguably the best Batman game ever.
This game has had me clamoring for more, even 10+ years after its launch. Whereas Arkham Asylum was great, but somewhat a slow burn; slowly introducing yourself to its world. Arkham City flings you right into the fun part, while also refining it too. Despite this game being a relatively short single player campaign, I must've spent 120+ hours replaying it. Arguably, what makes this game so special is the presentation, the art direction is gritty; fitting for a super prison, with tons of variation, along with unique atmospheres to each environment. the soundtrack composed by Nick Arundel has a powerful orchestra and a hauntingly beautiful choir in some pieces, it genuinely is one of my favorite game OSTs of all time. Some of the writing can be cheesy, but I have found that the good lines make up for it, I have probably memorized half of the lines in the game by now. The stealth has simplistic mechanics, and leaves a ton of room for creativity through its many gadgets and tools available. The combat is incredibly fluid, while many call it too easy, if you actively engage with it and challenge yourself to build up big combos, you'll be exhilarated, it is a complete and utter joy. The only actual flaw is that the Catwoman DLC missions tend to interject at critical story moments, so you'll be pretty engaged in Batman's story, and then have to play as Catwoman doing an entirely separate thing for a while, before getting to go back and play/continue Batman's story line. Despite that, Arkham City has so many strengths that it is truly nothing short of a Masterpiece; one of my favorite games off all time, and I can't recommend it enough.
