    Just completed a hard run and I got to say, it is even better than Arkham city. It takes everything fun from previous opus and enhance it, from the pure action elements to the more strategic ones. Story and boss fights are really, really well done.

    Arkham knight may be a visual delight but Origins is the real masterpiece of the Arkham serie.

    This is a great game, everything you would want from an Arkham game.

    It's the large amount of easily found, game ruining bugs that WB Montreal have chose to release this game with that drags what would be a 9/10 to a 6/10. WBM will fix them eventually (i hope), but there's no excuse for letting such an unpolished game get released. Six out of ten as of now 04/11/2013.

    I think this game gets a lot of unfair criticism. For me the story is really good and keeps the gamer engaged. Roger Craig Smith's Batman is amazing. Troy Baker's Joker is outstanding. The game also gives us unique and great boss battle. Especially the Deathstroke one. The gameplay is pretty much the same as the other Arkham games. Overall this a great addition to the Arkham games.

    It's a fun game and I'm putting a lot of hours into it, but it has some parts where I have no idea what to do. The fight with Deathstroke was a huge pain in the ass and it requires a tutorial. The game will flash something like "hit 1 1 to rapid fire baterangs" but what you're actually supposed to do is run toward him before he has a chance to shoot because he kills you in 2 to 3 shots.It's a fun game and I'm putting a lot of hours into it, but it has some parts where I have no idea what to do.

I checked the computer in the corner of the room, I've looked at all the dead bodies, I looked in the room with the destructible wall. There is no damn code anywhere in here. Batman just keeps saying I need to find the code.… Expand

    I really loved this game and don't understand the complains. Yes the world feels empty and missing life but the rest is good. If you are a Batman fan you will totally love this just like me. The games gets better while you progress in the game. It was nice to know the early story of Batman before Arkham Asylum. At least this game is much better than Arkham Knight.

    It's fun, but this is the black sheep of the Arkham series by far. Too many poor decisions were made to "expand" (really just "make easier) the game.

    The plot was exciting until the twist, when it was revealed that are main villain was, once again, the Joker. Be bold, game developers. It's better to be remembered for doing something that was too bold, than to be forgotten for playing it safe. I will say that immediately upon completing the main campaign, there is nothing left to do that makes me care about playing it anymore.

    Voice actors were solid.

    Biggest complaint is with the technical aspect. This game was running 60fps on max settings throughout until the one level when you return to Blackgate and fight in a prison room full of fire and moving cloth. Suddenly, despite lowering all of my GFX settings to the lowest, I had to fight in 12-20fps, which made the fight challenging only because I could no longer accurately keep my free flow rhythm going. Terrible decision on the developers part to utilize a piece of software for just one level without really doing any quality checks.    … Expand

Тот же город, те же геймплейные механики, вплоть до построения сайдквестов. Новшества минимальны и иногда странноваты. Например удивляет позднейшее появление скила disrm & destroy, который я лично так люблю. Понравилось из новшеств электроперчатка, хотя она и облегчает бои с мобами до невозможности. Достаточно её включить и можно одним ударом отправлять в нокдаун почти любого врага, в т.ч. щитовиков. Пяток ударов и мультитэйкдаун выводят пяток врагов из боя.

    Не понравилось построение челленджей, где обязательна последовательность их выполнения. Это заставляет постоянно лазить в меню и держать в голове какой именно челлендж нужно сейчас выполнить, это скучно. Еще показалось, что реализация цепляния крюком стала более деревянной, иногда были проблемы в самых очевидных местах, в сити было как то более плавно и надежно.

    Сюжет получился интересный в общем, но не скажу, что я прям в восторге. Ожидал большего от первой встречи с Джокером. Зато понравились бои с боссами, в меру сложные, многосоставные и достаточно запоминающиеся.

    В итоге могу посоветовать эту игру только тем, кому было мало Arkham City и кто хочет еще порцию того же блюда. Остальным лучше пройти мимо.    … Expand

    Extremely boring game, it's trying to be Arkham City but it's not, because everything is worse than in original series: music, sound effects, voice actors, graphics, movements, control, map, perk tree.

    ---FAstForward a year and I got a new awesome ASUS PC desktop and saw it for $5 on steam February 2016 & jumped on it & haven't looked back..its amazing how many of my console games are improved on PC, but rarely is it ever vice versa and better on console..Even if graphics are identical.
    it always comes down to two features. Anytime saving & MOUSE. I dunno why theres no mouse and keyboard style setup for newer consoles..whatevs...

    --Batman AO is sooooooo underrated. ill explain
    -Arkham City is better in everyway except 1 then Arkham Asylum- And that 1 thing is originalit...
    -AA was brand new- 1st time we got to see Killer Croc in super HD
    -And the eerie setting of Arkham Asylum...
    ---So enter Arkham City and we can soar and really get addicted to The Glide feature..
    B U T Arkham City is kinda too spread out.. but that's hardely a complaint..
    --I love how Arkham Origins expanded on The Riddler Intel goons in green highlights..This was always fun to track them downor save them for last when fighting...
    ---Arkham Knights batmobile isn't that bad BUT it clearly took development away from the core gameplay enhancements...

    BOTTOM LINE- Arkham Origins is my persona Favorite and HIGH-POINT of the series..
    ~A UNPOPULAR OPINION for sure....

    the people who hate on it because its not rocksteady need to step back and see how fanboy or make believe rocksteady employee sounding that stance is...Kudos to WB for going into this without the Mark Hammil voice and knowing the fanbase is now loyal to Rock Steady..

    ---ROCKSTEADY needs to just REBOOT the series with a fresh brand new storyline..
    And is there a better storyline then INJUSTICE? (The comics,not the game) Batman & Constantine & DR.Fatye and Zatana and all the anti superman heroes & villains join batman. even Zeus & Olympus join batman LOL..this would be such a grandious storyline....but any rebooted storline would do..I think the 'HUSH' storyline was special because it envolved the whooooole batman heroes & villains.. thasts what a new game needs. Not Deathstroke....

    The whole weakspot of the whole Arkham series is THE STORY. out of all the batman stories todo - they pick one where the joker OD's on Banes Venom. palease!

    play this game if you haven't alrteady & its only $5 on steam RIGHT NOW. (sorry for the rant)    … Expand

    Of the first three Batman games in this series, this is my least favorite. Note: I have not played nor do I intend to play Arkham Knight.

Note: I have not played nor do I intend to play Arkham Knight.

    I've been playing games longer than I care to remember. I find myself using the walkthrough for this game more than any game I can recall. The story is very linear, so if you decide to go "open" and roam about to do random things, it's sometimes hard to get back on track. In some parts of the side missions, you can find yourself in a dead end with no obvious way to proceed, thus the need for the walkthroughs.

    Combat has been made noticeably harder, and it's not uncommon to get into situations where you can do little more than wait for enemy attacks and repeatedly counter until the number of enemies get to a manageable level. Note I'm playing on "normal" and am not great at "button masher" combat, but had no issues with Arkham Asylum or Arkham City.

    Other than some of the villains, this game really brings nothing new to the series. You're just as well to go back and play either Arkham Asylum or Arkham City again, to be honest. The "year zero" approach just doesn't work for me. Revealing Joker as if Batman didn't know who he was? I understand what the makers are trying to do, but this approach is lame for anyone other than those who are truly noobs to the character. If this approach had been used in the first game, it would not have been any more effective, but would have at least been a logical progression.

    I will say that the Cold, Cold Heart campaign is the one exception to my comments above. I don't want to spoil it for anyone that is considering a purchase and wants surprises, but this part of the game was original and broke the mold (as much as you can) compared to AA and AC. I find myself wondering why this wasn't rolled into the overall game as the starting point for the "real" campaign... oh, well.

    If you're looking for something fresh and original in the Batman Arkham series, this really isn't it. If you're ok with something that's largely a replay of AA and AC, with a little freshness from Cold, Cold Heart? Overall, I find this game more frustrating from getting stuck than fun from the limited freshness. Since I have to pick up or down, I pick down because I don't like games that make me (a reasonably intelligent and long-time gamer) get angry. Hopefully my comments have given you enough context that you can make you're own decision.

    If you get a good deal and REALLY like Batman, you probably won't be disappointed. Even though I get angry at times, I'm "pushing through the pain" for now to see how the rest of the story unfolds. That said, if you were here in my house you would hear far more cussing at the computer screen than is normally the case with games I choose to invest time in.    … Expand

Its biggest 'sin' is that is an iterative entry and people wanted more.

Sometimes gambles dont pay off. WB Montreal crafted a great and worthy game here, one that I would give a 8.5, Two years on I still feel it totally deserves it.

It might be the single-most underrated game I've ever played. I loved both Arkham Asylum & Arkham City, but Origins is my favorite game in the franchise to date. The combat mechanics are almost identical to the first two, but I thought the feel was actually a little different. I would use the word "tighter" to describe it -- as in it felt like strikes/counters had to be more precisely timed than in the previous two games. It made combat slightly more challenging at first, but once I adjusted I actually preferred it to Asylum & City because I felt more in-control of my combat maneuvers which led to much longer, better, more satisfying combat sequences. For instance, I never used Free Flow Focus mode on the first two games, but became a master using it in Origins. I was also able to string together 40 and 50+ combos which I rarely if ever did in the other games.

    I also preferred the presentation Origins to the previous two Batman games. I'm not the best an analyzing and articulating these kinds of things, but the game just had a more immersive, cinematic feel to it.

    It also had more gadgets/gameplay wrinkles than the first two games, which was a welcomed change.

It feels different but not in the right way, the combat is far too easy, the dialogue is no where near as good, the storyline is pretty pants and my biggest complaint was how long it went on for!!!

    The story kinda makes up for that in the fact that they had a great premise that had an average ending. The game had alot of promise but it's clear they didn't put alot of effort into the game. WB was content with taking about 75% of Arkham City, throwing a few new bad guys in there, and calling it a day.

    I feel this game didn't get enough credit for what it did personally. A game is supposed to be fun over all things and Arkham Origins is really fun. Being made by someone else other then Rocksteady probably doomed this game from the start, and that should've of happened. That is like faulting Donkey Kong Country returns for not being made by Rare. The games story does lack as muchI feel this game didn't get enough credit for what it did personally.

That is like faulting Donkey Kong Country returns for not being made by Rare. The games story does lack as much presence as its predecessors though and that is bad because of it being the origin story, but the narrative it still cool. Lots of villains get there time in the sun but really do one thing and then just leave, Killer Croc in particular is very one note. Overall though the game plays just the same as the others so know worry about if they changed anything.… Expand

    I forgot I had a family until I played this game, it literally ruined my life, until my parents got me a pet snake. I am scared of snakes and I killed myself, so now I live with Jesus so I'm happy, Still sings better than Justin Bieber 10/10

    "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.

    You can't go wrong with sticking to Rocksteady's Bat-formula, however it is starting to feel a little played out. [December 2013, p.93]
