    Cold, Cold Heart is absolutely fine: The story is predictable but satisfying. The combat is occasionally frustrating but still fun. And the unique touches don't add much, but are welcome nonetheless. [July 2014, p.71]

    Cold, Cold Heart feels like a legitimate addition to the Arkham Origins lore, and not just a cheap cash-in. It's definitely a side story that's too big to be shoved into the core game, even if it doesn't really innovate in any meaningful way. While I wouldn't go out of my way to buy Arkham Origins just for it, I'd implore any current owner to take a look.

As far as storyIt felt good to jump back into the world of Arkham Origins. Which is probably why I'm giving this DLC the score I'm giving it. As far as story goes, its fairly by the numbers. The XE Batsuit does look rather badass though even though its purely cosmetic in difference to the regular batsuit. The freeze ray foes add an interesting turn to combat. Other than that, its the same old arkham formula you should be used to by now.… Full Review »
