    Feels like Arkham City copy-paste game with different story.
    Still a good one, but very similar to previous.
    That's why in the end of game bored me a little bit..

    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.

    It is a great game. However, we can see the difference from a rocksteady Batman game and a Batman game from another developer. It's definitely not a bad game, but the worse Batman Arkham.

    Шикарный приквел к оригинальной трилогии . Сюжет возможно даже лучше чем в них . Однако в ПК версии есть баг , который мне мешал продолжать игру . Но из-за своих проблем я не вижу повода снижать оценку

    It was not bad at all but still had many many problems. Joker is weird and feels pretty unpolished and rushed and like an unnecessary game overall. But I still had a good time with it.

    The game is graphically beautiful, but is not envolvent as the previous games. There are some bugs who makes the experience of playing frustrating, but I have to admit that Scarecrow and Mad Hatter scenes were amazing.

    Якщо коротко то - БИТВИ З БОСАМИ. По суті це той самий бетмен, тільки він крутиться навколо надзвичайно крутих босів, битви з якими завжди зроблені по різному, та вимагають іншого підходу.

    With how familiar Origins is to City, despite a fun story-line and a fun new map to fly around, it feels like more of the same, which unfortunately makes the game much less interesting and memorable that it's predecessor

    I think this game has little turning off from previous two games. It's kind of silly because if it's a prequel why does batman have better suit and gadgets. But it's still tireless like every batman Arkham series.

    There are three big Arkham games by Rocksteady, each one of them considered to be the pinnacle of gaming, especially under the superhero genre. However, there is one game that is normally buried in this conversation. No one takes pride in owning this game, and it is seen more of a bootleg, wannabe Arkham game - Batman: Arkham Origins. The one with barely any story and mobile game-likeThere are three big Arkham games by Rocksteady, each one of them considered to be the pinnacle of gaming, especially under the superhero genre. However, there is one game that is normally buried in this conversation. No one takes pride in owning this game, and it is seen more of a bootleg, wannabe Arkham game - Batman: Arkham Origins. The one with barely any story and mobile game-like graphics, but hear me out. Batman: Arkham Origins may not be as good as the other Arkham games in the series, but it's still criminally underrated.

    Batman: Arkham Origins takes place in Batman's early years of crime fighting. On Christmas Eve Batman learns someone has put up a bounty on his head, and now all the future big villains like Deathstroke, Killer Croc, Deadshot, Lady Shiva, Firefly etc are looking for him to kill him. He finds out about a killer named Black Mask, and decides to catch him. It is later revealed that the villain was Joker. Joker tried to commit suicide to escape Batman, but Batman stopped him immediately. From there Joker learnt about Batman's no-kill rule, and he told all about it to Dr Harleen Quinzel when he was sent to the Arkham Asylum.

    This was the first Arkham game that I had played. I only played it to the part where we have to fight Deathstroke and then I watched the video of the gameplay afterwards, since I didn't legally own the game and it would be wrong to enjoy a game through piracy. I played all the other Arkham games recently, about two years after Epic gave them all. And it was only after playing those did I decide to watch a few videos and take a look at it.

    Although one of the complaints towards the game is that there is barely any story, it is very gripping within itself. The part where Bruce and Alfred have an argument whether Batman should go out or not was a really emotional one, and when the Batcave was attacked I actually thought for a moment that Alfred died. My heart almost skipped a beat, but then later on when it was shown that he's still alive I realised how obvious it was. Another complaint about this game is the poor graphics, which are nowhere even close to the ones that Rocksteady makes. I mean, I can't support this argument, other than the fact that as long as my potato PC can run on anything other than the lowest graphics I'm happy with it. Also because I'm gonna try the game on the lowest graphic settings anyway, the graphics don't matter to me.

    The main menu of this game is pretty dope. I don't see why no one seems to talk about that. It's like if Arkham City had been able to do it properly. Batman's costume is one of, if not the greatest original Batsuit to ever be shown in any media. The voice acting by Roger Craig Smith and Troy Baker are also really great (this could be my bias speaking since I like both of them). The fights are very bad compared to the other games, but as "games" itself they are pretty good.

    There's no doubt when one says that even the "worst" Arkham game is actually pretty good. The only reason why it's so criminally underrated is because people tend to compare it with other Arkham games. I had played it before having played the original trilogy, but after trying them I got spoilt. So I think the best way to play this is by playing it without any memory of a previous game.    … Expand

    In this game the best atmosphere. Аwesome one night concept. Many villains and brutal batman.
    The best game of the series.
    Rocksteady Studios in vain ignored this project in due time, but for some reason she took new chips in Arkham Knight.

    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.

After the amazing Arkham Asylum and the excellent Arkham City came disappointment in the form of Arkham Origins. I think the series should have ended in Arkham City because there was a game at the top. What struck me right away was the graphics. Previous games looked great, but this time the game seemed graphically worse than the previous part. Apart from the textures, which simply looked kind of out of focus, the cut scenes, for example, were just quite weird. Not only were they often a cut-scene of the cinematic type, which does not use the graphics from the game at all, which means nothing about it, but I was rather annoyed by the appearance of the characters. Alfred was fine for me, but maybe Batman was quite weird, but especially the Joker. What did they do to him? It wasn't really bad, it wasn't, but he looked a lot better before. But the Joker no longer plays such a role here as before, because the main role of the villain was taken over by Two-Face, which you probably already know here that the game will simply not have the previous ones, because at least no one has a Joker for me. What I also praised the previous games for was the so-called I call it scanned scenes in the manner of Far Cry, although I don't like to say the comparison myself, but I don't know what else to compare it to. I honestly don't even know if they were here anymore or not, but probably not, because if they did, they would be etched in my memory. For example, I remember the luxury passages with Scarecrow or the amazing part of Arkham City, where Batman learned to sail better, but I'd hit the spoilers, which I don't want. There is simply no such memorable part in the game, or at least not for me. So I've criticized the game quite a bit, but don't get me wrong. It's a good game. The Batman threshers are still great, so are the solutions to the puzzles, even though the detective parts annoyed me here rather than enjoying them, but that will probably be me. Overall, it's just a good game that just doesn't have the previous ones. I recommend, but probably only to Batman fans.… Expand

    I actually really like this game but the bugs are absurd. I had to break the game in order to get past one of the glitches, and I couldn't finish the final encounter with Joker because the game wouldn't give me the prompt to dodge his attacks. The fact it's been 8 years and the game still doesn't work is insane. I heard it works better on console so maybe try it out on that.

    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

    How wrong I was. I do not know who and why does not like this part, but it gave me more emotions for its passage than Asylum and City combined.

    Arkham Origins is a game about Bruce and Alfred's relationship. It's about Gotham's introduction to the bat. First encounters with all of Batman's main villains. Especially, only this part perfectly shows the relationship between Batman and the Joker. If you play carefully, you can understand why they are so dependent on each other. Why this mutual hatred and concern.

    Gameplay of course, this part is not far away from Arkham City. But the developers did work on the bugs. The city is divided into sections and we do not have so many hiding places of the Riddler. This made it easier to find them, and the tests on the caches themselves were not surprising. Most of it is simple. There are interesting additional missions. The mission with the mad Hatter and Alice sends us into a flashback of the Scarecrow.
    Returning to Arkham encourages nostalgic memories.

    What's definitely improved is the evidence analysis. This process has become more complete. But playing Batman has become much easier, having pumped a couple of skills, you can "cut down" several enemies in the crowd at once, and they are very imbued in all battles against any opponents. Using them simply makes no sense in individual approaches to certain enemies.

    There are several new villains in the game. There are new types of enemies, the same couple.
    An interesting mission to investigate the murder of the founder of Gotham.
    Ent in the game is served NORMALLY. Look for the pentagrams on the walls. Listen and read the biography (as it was before). There was a bat cave, although it is not much use, mostly there is training and dialogues with Alfred. Cinematography has become even a level higher. But if the graphics have become better, then it does not catch the eye. Batman has moved more naturally in transitions from one enemy to another, but still flies like a nut.....

    In general, this is still the same Batman, but you need to look at it in a new way. It makes no sense to compare it with the original as well as the last three parts about Lara Croft. Restart on that and restart. To show something old but in a new way and with a fresh look.    … Expand

    but the problem are the graphics, the game is less beautiful than Arkham Asylum while it comes out four years after Asylum (it shows that the game was made by Warner Montreal and not Rocksteady)
    all this without talking about all these bugs of textures and the terrible sound design of the game (sometimes you can see that the characters open their mouths but we do not hear what they say, or sometimes the speech of some bandits is shifted compared to the movement of their mouths) but THE BIGGEST WEAKNESS of the game is well the number of glitch, sometimes you can teleport below the Map, and remain stuck in a door without being able to open it)
    The animations of the characters are less fluid than before

    So this game is completely forgettable,''Osef'' as we would say in France, a game that seems to be a demo so it is not complete, thousands of bugs, the game that crashes almost all the time and graphics that sometimes seems atrocious because of many bugs textures
    and it's a shame because the scenario is good and very well written
    but Warner Bros Montreal did the bare minimum, not very encouraging when you see that they are going to make Gotham Knights, which is not part of Arkham Verse, so at least we can be relieved that they are not going to ruin a flagship license of video games    … Expand

    Despite a great story with some of the best boss battles in the series, the bad open world and a jarring visual style bring the game down greatly, and most of the new gameplay additions aren't anything to write home about. The gameplay is still extremely fun, though, and WB Montreal did a decent job of bringing a new layer of violence to Batman's combat through the animations and sound.

    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.

    if you like batman movies, comics, i.e. batman, you will probably like this game, I think this game is average, not good, close to bad, even bad.

    Batman games are a triology and they have this parody game called origins... Weak comperated to other Batman games in every way,fights are less fluent puzzles don't require using your brain story at first was alright than went **** real fast. at first i was going to give like 3 or 4 but final mission was alright and just that mission itself raised this game to a 5 for me

    Not the best batman game but definitely not the worst. It has all the same mechanics as all of the Arkham series games do, the only thing I personally don't like is the setting. It is a very boring and depressing open world. Another thing bringing this game down is the amount of bugs and little issues on the PC title.

    Had the previous entries in the Arkham series not set the bar so high, this game would be much more well received. The story is intriguing, but at the end of the day, the change in voice actors tended to pull me out of the narrative. The gameplay is more of the same from Arkham City, but it isn't and doesn't feel like a main line Arkham game.

    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

    "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]
