It's been a while but what did he want to do?
Kill the mob boss? He had the guy's location since the start of the movie, said mob boss had a massive window in his main office, he could have been shot from down the street easily.
He wanted to show the corruption of politicians, cop and the Waynes (I think?) He could have sent/spammed that info to cops and every media outlet or anyone that would listen from the start as well.

What else did he want to do that he couldn't do on his own that he didn't achieve anyways?

I'm honestly not trying to argue here, I really don't remember but I vaguely remember these being my biggest issues but of course not remembering the minor details.
There are other things I remember not liking but it's more subjective and stuff that I'm more willing to look over (like taking an explosion to the face) for no good reason.

Part of it was that he wanted to take down the corruption in Gotham and kill Falcone, yes. But Riddler also idolizes Batman and saw that he wasn't a cop, politician or anyone else who could be bought, so he orchestrated the entire crime spree as a way of meeting his idol while also deluding himself into thinking they were "partners".

The problem is that Riddler idolizes him for the wrong reasons because Riddler is an edgelord who just wants the world to burn for what happened to him and honestly, Batman (up until his character development) is really just a more restrained and disciplined version of that (likely due to Alfred).

I actually really like The Riddler in this movie because he basically represents the Batman fans who forget that Batman is supposed to be a superhero, and not just Punisher with less guns.
