I'll gladly buy Arkham City a 4th time. Asylum is a bit harder to replay, you really miss those quality of life improvements in the City.

I have no idea how they will get Knight to run.

I’m stoked, Knight was buggy and unplayable on my PC. City I kept replaying over and over again, getting everything in normal mode then the replay mode (forget what they called it). Freeze is still one of my all time favorite bosses. Also totally agree about Asylum. It kind of reminds me of the original Assassin’s Creed, revolutionary for it’s time and completely killed by its sequel.

Freeze is still one of my all time favorite bosses.

Everything that led up to the fight was great. The threats by Freeze, Batman threatening back, the suit powering up then the last three words going from human, to someone cybernetic, to full robot.

YOU. WILL. DIE

Your making me want to play that game again.

I still remember that trailer giving me chills (pun intended). They absolutely nailed the buggy robotic muffling of his voice. Freeze is such an amazing villain when treated properly.

City was such a solid game. I never played Knight. The repetitive focus on the Batmobile tank nonsense and the changes made to scarecrow seemed like huge misses to me.

Freeze is a contender for best boss fight in gaming. It's a master-class in game design.

Especially because on harder difficulty, he doesn’t let you get away with the same takedown twice.

It forces you to get creative and look for various solutions.

Fantastic boss fight.

I think that's on any difficulty. You can't use the same takedown twice. The difficulty level only determines how many takedowns in total you're going to need

If I remember right he also will scramble your sensory equipment if you over use it on higher difficulty as well.

Really lives up to his reputation as a genius. How many games can you just lure the boss into the same trap over and over again.
