If you played Batman: Arkham Asylum and liked it, then you will love Batman: Arkham City. It is the sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum. Its gameplay takes place one year after the events of Arkham Asylum. In the game, North Gotham has become a place for all criminals. As Batman, you must bring some peace. Its exciting gameplay and a series of side missions make it a truly amazing game.
The gameplay of Batman: Arkham City is primarily based on combat, stealth, and exploration of Arkham City. The atmospheric environment of the game makes it really fun to play and the experience of playing this game is just mind blowing. If you think that PC games are not fun then you have to play this game. It will change your opinion about games.
Batman: Arkham City’s combat system is one of the best in the world. Unlike Arkham Asylum, you can use all of Batman’s gadgets during combat. As in Arkham Asylum, the method of attacking and counterattacking is the same. However, when your enemies possess weapons such as stun guns and shields, the combat becomes more challenging as you will have to apply more combos and use gadgets. What’s really more amazing is the slow-motion close-up every time you take down an enemy.
Planning attacks against enemies is also an incredible experience. You can use the ‘detective mode’ to see what weapons your enemies have, where they are located, what routes you can use to attack them and much more. You can also sneak up on them by hanging from a gargoyle or sneaking up from behind. When you reach a certain level, you get a new device, the Disruptor, which will allow you to remotely deactivate your enemy’s weapon. Arkham City also gives you the option to use a smoke ball to cover your escape and also leave your enemies fighting each other in confusion. Playing Arkham City on a PC does not reduce the fun of attacking the enemy and you can still have an amazing experience.
However, combat is still not that easy. You have to be very careful when planning an attack on enemies and consider all routes. Even the slightest mistake can lead you back to your last checkpoint. However, this also adds to the fun of the game and you will feel like you really are Batman.
The graphics of the game are also impressive. The combat scenes are so impressively rendered that you will carve more, especially the close-ups of your final attacks. You can grab onto the ledges and fly around town. It is one of the most exciting aspects of this game. The graphics in Batman: Arkham City are unlike any other PC game. It will make you feel like you are really in the game.
There is only one downside to the game. Boss fights look awesome, but they’re actually too easy. You can easily defeat the boss, but sometimes, the context-sensitive buttons will make you lose. For example, you might want to attack an enemy from behind, but accidentally press another key and get shot dead.
Overall, Batman: Arkham City is one of the most exciting PC games and you can’t help but want to play it just because of one inconvenience. The other aspects of the game will make you want to play this game over and over again and trust me, you won’t be bored. In fact, you will love it. This is the kind of game you should and should buy.
