    pros:
    good graphics
    combat

    cons:
    audio sucks
    bad boss fights
    really bad map layout
    very linear gameplay

    verdict:
    this game will most probably disappoint you as it did for me. but its not a bad game. it just didn't make it to its expectations. so i finally give it a 5/10.

    it's unbelievably bad game compare to all Batman's previous games. One of the worst game so far this year. It ruins Batman games and I suggest not buy it if you are a true dedicated fan of Batman games.

    + Good Presentation
    + Cutscenes Look Like Hand-Drawn Comics
    - Confusing Map System
    - Too Much Backtracking
    - Repetitive Missions
    - Combat Still Fun but don't Respond that Well LIke Others Arkham Games

    Though it was dubbed the Deluxe Edition, its inclusions of extra costumes, a small graphical upgrade from the Vita version, and an increase in enemy encounters, can't help distinguish Blackgate from its handheld roots. Blackgate is an entertaining title that links well with where the overarching Arkham Origins story was going -- it's just a shame that the titles handheld origins weren't improved upon.

    Whichever release in the series you compare it to, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate – Deluxe Edition will always come off worst.

    Blackgate is a minor spin-off of Batman Arkham Origins. It was more comfortable on portable devices, but even on home consoles will please "metroidvania" fans.
