What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise Arkham City's engaging story, satisfying combat mechanics, and strong villain roster, with many noting it holds up remarkably well despite its age. However, some feel the game relies too heavily on nostalgia and criticize aspects like repetitive completionist content and an overly intense soundtrack that doesn't vary enough during quieter moments.
Good Combat and Story
Worth!
its not as good as people claim nostalgia is heavlily carrying this game is really dissapointing compared to the hype
Just Boring
I finally got around to playing Batman: Arkham City, and I honestly wish I had played it sooner. Everything about this game just works. The story kept me interested the whole way through, the combat is fun without getting old, and gliding around the city as Batman never stopped being satisfying. The side missions are also worth doing and make the world feel alive instead of just giving you busy work. The villains are one of the best parts. There are so many familiar faces, and they all have their own moments to shine. The atmosphere is dark, the music fits perfectly, and the voice acting is incredible. Even though the game is older now, it still holds up really well. If you like Batman or just want a great action game with a good story, this is an easy recommendation. One of the best superhero games I've ever played.
Aged incredibly well. Combat is as responsive as it gets, the stealth sections are consistently fun, and the story is engaging throughout. Having played Marvel's Spider-Man before Arkham City, I did notice a few things that later games refined. One example is the soundtrack, which rarely lets the game breathe, often staying at the same loud, epic intensity even during stealth or quieter moments. Spider-Man handled this differently, only ramping up the music once you're discovered. My biggest criticism is the completionist content. The Riddler trophies and challenges are enjoyable at first, but eventually become padding. Unlike Spider-Man, where collectibles are generally available as soon as an area and its mechanics are unlocked, Arkham City intentionally gates many collectibles behind gadgets you only obtain much later in the story. That means completion requires revisiting areas, not because there's new gameplay or story, but simply because the game wouldn't let you collect them the first time through. Combined with the sheer number of collectibles and the requirement for another playthrough to earn every achievement, it feels more like extending playtime than adding meani…
