18 Best Video Game Boss Battles Of The Last 10 Years

3. Mr. Freeze - Batman: Arkham City

Arkham Knight went down the route of making us "Be the Batman" through the combination of gliding, crime-fighting and Batmobile-driving, yet we'd already had that feeling in Arkham City, thanks to this boss fight making us think like the Dark Knight.

Knowing the character as The World's Greatest Detective who always has a good handful of backup plans in place, the genius of this fight is it rolls together all your combat mechanics into one, having Freeze also learn along the way. Once you've snuck up from behind he'll counter if you try the same tactic, so you're forced to really get in the headspace of Batman himself.

Try leaping up from below a ledge, dangling from up-high, laying down traps, crashing through the floor, zip-lining from across the other side of the room - the possibilities felt endlessly experimental, marking a high-point for Rocksteady in a series of masterclass-designed superhero games.
