Most critically acclaimed superhero videogame

Batman: Arkham City (Rocksteady Games, 2011) is the second game in the popular and lauded Batman: Arkham series of videogames, which chronicles adventures of one of the most famous caped crusaders in the world. In Arkham City, players step into Batman's big shoes and cape to bring law back to Gotham, a section of which has been turned into a lawless prison as an extension of Arkham Asylum. It garnered a Metascore of 94 on review aggregation site Metacritic.

This is an update to the previous record reflecting the fact that the website GameRankings, previously a reviews aggregation website used as a source for videogame scores, was discontinued in 2019.
