About Batman Arkham City: Game of the Year Edition
About this game
Developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
Experience the ultimate edition of Batman Arkham City with its Game of the Year edition, featuring all of its DLC for you to play the complete version of the game! Take control of the brand-new title building on the foundations that created Batman: Arkham Asylum, as you'll explore a large map, fight criminal masterminds, and embark on an expansive open-world journey in Arkham City, the new maximum security!
The New Arkham City
Gotham City has created a new maximum security facility for all of the criminals — Arkham City, a place where Batman's most infamous villains are sent to, and a lawless place where all criminals are trying to kill one another. After Bruce Wayne declares his opposition to the new project, he is thrown in there, and his identity gets revealed.
Play as Batman
Receive your equipment and become the Batman within the Arkham City walls and save all that have been entrapped within from the evil advancements of Batman's foes.
Freely Traverse Arkham City
Fight crime whilst you explore the sizeable open-world adventure, five times larger than the map from its predecessor — Batman: Arkham Asylum. Stealth through the city to avoid conflict, or use the grapnel gun and glide from the rooftops to explore this expansive world!
Detective Vision
Use Batman's Detective Vision to find points of interest throughout the map, including characters, collectibles, quests, clues, and more!
Fight Criminals
Use Batman's new kit of abilities to fight enemies! With numerous upgrades from the previous titles, you'll now be able to counter several foes and use a large array of Batman's gadgets to take down your adversaries! Fight some of the famous enemies, including Talia al Ghul, the Penguin, Mr. Freeze, and many other of his main antagonists!
Four Hundred Riddler Challenges
Solve over 400 riddler challenges scattered across Arkham City. To collect all of these, you'll have to return to previously-explored areas with new gadgets, such as the disruptor, freeze blast, remote electrical charge and others, to find new clues and complete all of them! Can you discover the location of the Riddler?

First of all, I have to say that I'm a huge fan of the Batman franchise and have played all of the Arkham games on various platforms, but playing it on the Steam Deck was a whole new experience. The game runs smoothly and the graphics are stunning on the Deck's 7-inch screen. The colors are vibrant and the textures are crisp, making the game even more immersive.
One thing that really impressed me was the Deck's controls. The game is optimized for use with a controller, and the Deck's built-in controllers feel great in your hands. The buttons are responsive and the joysticks have a nice amount of resistance. Playing the game feels natural and intuitive, and I quickly forgot that I was playing on a portable device rather than a console.
The game itself is a masterpiece. The story is engaging, the voice acting is top-notch, and the gameplay is a perfect balance of exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat. As Batman, you get to glide through the streets of Gotham City, using your gadgets to take down enemies and solve puzzles. The game also has a great roster of villains, including the Joker, Two-Face, and the Penguin, each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses.
If you're a fan of the Batman franchise, I highly recommend giving this game a try on the Steam Deck.
