    Better dlc than the Harley Quinn thing was for City. Good back story for Mr. Freeze. Gameplay functionality slightly expanded with the extreme suit. More enjoyable than much of the main game.

    The DLC as a whole was pretty good, better than the DLC Arkham City had and slightly longer. You can beat it in one sitting but the story was pretty good and it's what you'd expect from a Mr. Freeze origin story. Personality I had some weird bug where entering into a room the people would take long to load, meaning enemies would appear right in front of you at times.

    Batman: Arkham Origins- Cold, Cold Heart tells the origin story of Batman's first interaction with Mr. Freeze. The story is good, although somewhat predictable. A great experience for those disappointed with the original game, however.

    A fun return to Gotham, even if the mechanics continue to feel weary in the hands of WB. [Issue#112, p.95]

    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]

    If you pass on this one, you're not missing all that much, least of all new ideas for this series to follow up on in the future. Still, credit where credit is due: this well-written additional episode would have been a clear standout in last year's Batman game.
