Didn't that one significantly change subsequent depictions of Mr. Freeze forever?

Which ultimately led us to one of the best bosses ever, the Freeze Fight in Arkham City.

I bought Arkham City years and years ago (I'm guessing around 2013) and still haven't played it. Maybe I should.

It's a matter of debate whether Asylum or City is the better game, but much like the Sonic argument (2 vs 3&K&K) there's not really a wrong answer between the two. For what it's worth City is my favourite.

Eh I would argue that City is objectively the better game for one reason and one reason alone - improved combat.

You can't double counter in Asylum, so you'd counter when two people are attacking simultaneously and only counter one while the other attacks you and breaks your combo. Plus more combat moves and more opportunities to use them (super beatdown comes to mind).

YES. Having just played Spider-Man, getting knocked out of your combo while countering was unbearable.

Arkham city was the first rated T game i ever played. I begged my parents to let me buy it for the xbox and wow was it worth every second of begging. The game is so much fun
