    A very good game, but with far too many bugs, some of which are progression-blocking. Most insultingly, WB Montréal has announced they won't patch the game

    Despite more negative opinions about the game than other games in the series, I found it to be a success. Gameplay and story were not bad at all.

    Amazing prequel to the critically acclaimed Arkham Asylum.

    The game's story perfectly captures the relationship dynamic between Batman and the Joker. The gameplay is fun and additional gadgets keep the puzzles and combat interesting, although at one point for me it started to become a bit overwhelming, but I guess the main problem in my case was that I had big breaks between plays.

    My fears about new dev team were put to rest as soon as I started to play this game. Excellent original formula renewed with minor additions gameplay-wise, online multiplayer mode (which is actually fun), and quite a strong story makes it a true successor to previous Arkham adventures. I hereby recommend this game to every fan of "Arkham" series, you won't be dissapointed.

    A very underrated game in my opinion, even though the voice actors were not the same as other 3 Arkham series, they still did a great job, the biggest thing I really loved were the boss fights, all unique and very enjoyable, even the Mr. Freeze DLC was a good story.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Not as good as the first two but that doesn't mean it's bad. It is not really a big improvement from city as city was from asylum, bu still it is an excellent game with what might be the best story and atmosphere in the series and of course boss fights. It should not be ignored by people who are planning to play this series.

The map feels emptier this time around and lacks a sense of style, since everything is covered in snow. And the side-quests are a bit weaker this time around and some of them feel "samey". It's a good game but better not pay full price, since there are still some bugs in the PC release.… Expand

    Batman: Arkham Origins - На мой взгляд, самая противоречивая часть Бэтмэна. Игра является приквелом к Arkham Asylum. В ней нам рассказывают о ранних подвигах бэтмэна, о том, как он познакомился со своими заклятыми врагами. Вообще, сюжет и его подача - это лучшее, что есть в этой игре, но к сожалению, существуют непонятные несостыковки с предыдущими частями.

В ней нам рассказывают о ранних подвигах бэтмэна, о том, как он познакомился со своими заклятыми врагами. Вообще, сюжет и его подача - это лучшее, что есть в этой игре, но к сожалению, существуют непонятные несостыковки с предыдущими частями. На пример: Здесь у бэтмэна сразу есть ускоритель крюка, хотя в Arkham City, которая происходит спустя много времени после Origins, ускоритель находится только в разработке. Также, почему бэтмэн после брони стал носить какую-то накидку, которая совсем не защищает его от сильных повреждений? Мне-то понятно, почему произошли такие несостыковки, но всё-таки это слегка расстраивает. Геймплейные изменения по сравнению с предыдущей частью крайне незначительны. Из реально новых вещей можно выделить только быстрое перемещение, электрические перчатки и улучшенный режим детектива. Лично мне ещё понравилось, что игра перестала глючить на максималках, как это делала Arkham City, а также уменьшили количество трофеев загадочника (точнее это не трофеи, а файлы с компроматом, но суть не меняется). Из всей серии игр, в этой лучшие битвы с боссами, они реально офигенны. Конечно, не одна из них не сравнится с битвой против мистера фриза из Arkham City, но это была всего одна битва, а тут каждый босс очень крутой, за исключением боссов из дополнительных заданий. И джокер из этой части мне нравится больше, чем в остальных. Здесь он какой-то более безумный, но при этом не похож на клоуна-приколиста, а действительно на опасного поехавшего преступника. Несмотря на лучший сюжет в серии, в геймлейном плане игра не привносит почти ничего нового по сравнению с предыдущей частью. Графика тоже лучше не стала. Мир хоть и стал больше, но контента и дополнительных заданий в нём стало меньше. Тёмная и мрачная атмосфера Готэма сменилась на предновогоднюю, она мне хоть и нравится, и под Новый год играть в эту игру одно удовольствие, но бэтмэну всё-таки больше подходит мрачный стиль. К сожалению, для меня - это худшая часть в серии, но это не значит, что это плохая игра. Это до сих пор отличная игра про бэтмэна, но на фоне всей квадрологии она не сильно выделяется, даже не смотря на лучший сюжет в серии. Но на одном сюжете далеко не уедешь. Мне кажется, что разработчики могли сделать игру намного лучше, но сосредоточили много сил на мультиплеере, который, по-моему, очень странный, и вообще не нужен бэтмэну. Если бы мультиплеера не было, и разработчики потратили больше сил на компанию, то скорее всего, это была бы лучшая часть из всей квадрологии про бэтмэна.

    I don't know why everyone's hating on that part so much, but Origins truly one of the best games ever created, with insane attention to details, descent plot, a lot of additional content after credits, awesome dark city vibe etc. Yeah it's lose comparing to Arkham City and Knight as iconic masterpieces, but still must play and better than 99% games nowadays.

    Um dos melhores games da serie Arkhan.
    Foi muito criticado pela galera só por que é outro estudio que fez.
    O primeiro a ser dublado pt-br, a dublagem do Coringa é de arrepiar. Todos os dubladores das animações e do filme do Nolan estão presente.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Batman: Arkham Origins'in bu kadar düşük puanlar almasına şaşırdım, çünkü eksikleri olsa da Arkham Origins yeterince iyi bir oyun. Arkham Origins'in hikayesi Arkham Asylum'ın daha öncesinde geçiyor ve Batman'in ilk Batman olduğu zamanları anlatıyor. Hikayesini anlatmaya başlayayım. Black Mask, Batman'in namını duyar ve onu ortadan kaldırmak için 8 tane suikastçı ile anlaşıp Batman'i öldüren kişiyi 50 milyon dolar ile ödüllendireceğini söyler. Bunun üzerine Black Mask'in kiraladığı suikastçılar Batman'in peşine düşerler. Batman, Black Mask'in yerini öğrenmek için için ilk olarak Penguin'in peşine düşer ve onun mekanına gider. Batman, Penguin'in mekanına geldikten sonra onun adamlarını döver ve Penguin'in sağ kolu Tracey'yi sorgulamaya çalışır fakat o sırada Electrocutioner gelir. Electrocutioner ve Batman dövüşür, ardından Batman onu yener. Tam Penguin'i yakaladığı sırada birden Deathstroke çıkagelir ve Penguin bundan istifade ederek kaçar. Deathstroke ile de mücadele etmek zorunda kalan Batman onu da yener. Bu olanlardan sonra Batman, Black Mask'in öldürüldüğü haberini alır ve durumu incelemek için olay mahaline gider. Batman'in olay yerinde yaptığı incelemeler sonucu oklar "Joker" diye birine çevrilir. Batman daha önce hiç duymadığı bu isim hakkındaki kayıtlara bakmak için Gotham şehrindeki polis departmanına gider. Joker hakkındaki kayıtları inceledikten sonra Black Mask'in aslında ölmediğini ve banka soyacağını öğrenen Batman onu durdurmak için yola koyulur. Batman orada Black Mask'i bulur ancak daha sonra Black Mask maskesini çıkarır ve Batman, Black Mask'in aslında onun kılığına giren Joker olduğunu görür. Başından beri Batman'in peşine suikastçılar takıp onu öldürtmek isteyen aslında Joker'dir. Joker'in peşine takılan Batman onun türlü tuzaklarını atlattıktan sonra onu yakalayıp Blackgate'e gönderir. Joker Blackgate'e geldikten sonra kendisine terapi için gönderilen Stajyer Doktor Harleen Quinzel'in aklını çeler ve serbest kaldıktan sonra hapishanede isyan çıkarır. Komiser James Gordon'ı da rehin alan Joker, Batman'in gelmesini bekler. Batman hapishaneye gelir ve Bane ile karşılaşıp onunla dövüştükten sonra James Gordon'ı kurtarır. Batman zaman kaybetmeden Joker'in peşine düşüp onu bir güzel dövdükten sonra adalete teslim eder. James Gordon, Joker'i almak için Batman'in yanına gelir ve Batman'e onu da tutuklaması gerektiğini söyler fakat bunu yapamaz, ardından Batman ortadan kaybolur. Hikaye bu şekilde biter. Bitiş jeneriğinden sonra da Arkham Asylum'ın kurulduğu ve Amanda Waller'ın Deathstroke'a ona katılması için teklif yaptığı görülür. Hikaye konusunda bu oyunun Arkham serisindeki en güçlü hikayelerden birine sahip olduğunu düşünsem de eksiklikler mevcut. Öncellikle Batman'in peşine 8 tane suikastçı takılmasına rağmen birkaç suikastçı dışında hiçbiri hikayede işlenmiyor, işlenenler de oldukça yüzeysel bir şekilde işlenmiş. Bu konudaki diğer eleştirim ise Joker'in Harley Quinn ile olan ilişkisinin çok basite indirgenmiş olması. Arkham Origins'in hikayesi yalnızca bir geceyi anlatıyor ve Joker'in Blackgate'e gelip daha ilk dakikadan Quinn'i kandırabilmesi hikayedeki en saçma kısım, normalde bu sürecin çok daha uzun sürmesi gerekiyordu. Hikaye sunumu konusunda oyunun Arkham City ve Arkham Asylum'dan daha iyi olduğunu rahatlıkla söyleyebilirim. Ara sahneler ile oyun içi hikaye anlatımını güçlendirmek için hazırlanmış geçmişe giden kısımlar, kâbus kısımları ve Batman'in zihnininden geçenlerin anlatıldığı kısımlar önceki oyunlara göre çok daha ustaca tasarlanmış. Oynanışa gelecek olursak oyun önceki oyunlardan sonra pek bir yenilik getirmiyor ve diğer oyunlara tıpatıp benziyor. Dövüş sistemi önceki oyundakiyle aynı, bu da iyi olduğu anlamına geliyor. Elektrikli eldiven benim kullanmayı oldukça keyifli bulduğum ve oynanışı az da olsa güçlendirdiğini düşündüğüm bir yenilik. Onun dışında da sözde yeni gibi duran silahlar olsa da çoğunun işlevleri önceki oyunda olan silahlarla aynı, yalnızca isimleri değiştirilmiş. Bölüm sonu canavarı dövüşleri serinin kanayan yarası olmaya bu oyunda da devam ediyor, Copperhead hariç hiçbirinden keyif almadım. Bölüm tasarımı ortalama olsa da Gotham şehri bomboş ve oyunun Arkahm City'de olduğu gibi buna karşı sunacak geçerli bir bahanesi yok. Şehir biraz canlı olsa atmosfer çok daha güçlü olabilirdi. Grafikler geliştirilmiş, ancak performans sorunları ara sıra olabiliyor, takılma sorununu sık sık olmasa da bu oyunda da yaşadım. Oyunu oynarken birkaç küçük hata ile karşılaştım. Batman: Arkham Origins, Arkham City kadar iyi olmasa da aldığı düşük puanları hak edecek kadar kötü bir oyun değil, aksine gayet iyi bir oyun.… Expand

    I love the story, second best from all the Arkham games a 9 out of 10, but the combat is kinda off. Asylum had a good start with it, city got it a good flow, but here I don't really know sometimes it just feels to slow, a 7 out of 10. If Warner Games Montreal had the same combat like Rocksteady did it with Arkham city it would have been a 8,5 out of 10, but with that combat system, saddly not.

    +Similar leveling system as the other Arkham games
    +Sidequests occur randomly even during main story missions quite frequently
    +DLC Cold Cold Heart is short but sweet
    +Boss Battles are some of the best in the series

    Cons
    -Tons of glitches such as going through floors, getting stuck, certain openable routes/doors not opening unless you reload save point ,etc
    -Annoying "Ozzy" error that occurs at times (in my experience, it only occurred in the DLC) but this is a common complaint among PC version users
    -Not much variety in sidequests like Arkham City

    "You don't want to be the guys who messed up and ran into the ground one of the absolute, top-rated franchises of all time. You don't want that at the top of your CV. 'Yeah, I'm the guy who turned a 96 into a 60, that's my claim to fame,’ said Arkham Origins’ producer Ben Matts a couple of days before the game’s release. Turns out, they did exactly that.

    There's definitely some re-tread going on with Batman: Arkham Origins, but the combat, the relatively good story (B-list villain aside), the powerful feeling of being Batman in video game form has only muted my enthusiasm for the franchise by the smallest of margins.
