What Made Batman Arkham City Work
Arkham City took Arkham Asylum's building and made it a district, which sounds like dilution and is not — the gliding is the best traversal of its generation, the side cases are better written than most games' main stories, and the combat gained enough gadgets to stay interesting for twenty hours instead of eight.
