Batman Arkham City PC Review

Overall this is easily one of the best games this generation and while it’s not perfect it’s…. ah who am I kidding, I really can’t find fault with this game! and that is something I rarely, if ever say. It didn’t take long for Batman Arkham Asylum to win me over and it wasn’t long before Arkham City routed its self as one of my all time favourite gaming experiences, ranking in my personal all time top 10 with ease.

There is an incredible amount of content on offer for those willing to put in the hours and find it, being a true detective and sniffing out every secret, hidden item, maxing out your skills, playing on hard mode and solving those fiendish Riddler puzzles will take you weeks, but it will be well and truly worth it too.

Graphically it’s sublime and it’s been great to see it in all its glory on my recently build gaming rig, even if it did make my graphics card work overtime to cope with its unrelenting use of physics and lighting.

It doesn’t matter what platform you choose, sure the Wii U edition has a fancy interface and some nice tessellation, the PS3 and Xbox 360 editions are about on par with each other and the PC edition is incredible if you have the system for it, but underneath they are all still the same game and the game play is what really matters. Now that the game is 12 months old there are plenty of sales, offers and even pre-owned copies on the market, put simply, there has never been a better time to invest in this game.
