Arkham City is built on a combination of a fluid Freeflow combat system, a stealth approach, and open city exploration. The player uses Batman's gadgets to fight, infiltrate, and solve puzzles. The game features a main storyline, side quests with iconic criminals, and collectible challenges from the Riddler.
