On the contrary, after having completed all three of the games, on Hard, collecting everything that needs to be collected, I can safely say than both of the replayability and story side, Arkham Origins is a proud member of the Arkham family and even dare I say one that makes Arkham City look a little shy in some aspects. Sure, the story cannot rely on shocking plot twists that end up in deaths and major comic arcs, as it is constrained in a definite period of time in a set period of Bruce Wayne's life (one year after he becomes Batman), but it still does a damn fine job of surprising you at every turn with what is as its disposal, turning the tide every now and then to keep you on the edge of your couch. The storytelling is one on par with Rocksteady's hors-d'oeuvres that should be remembered as a beacon for games to come.

    As for the gameplay, Arkham Origins does not innovate, in the sense that Arkham City did over Arkham Asylum, but it has its own share of novelties that are brought to polish what Rocksteady laid down as a more than solid Batman experience. I think this is perfectly normal, as the game is branded as a prequel, and not as THE third chapter of the saga, a title now held by the upcoming Arkham Knight, which means it still leaves room to overwhelming novelty in the future. Instead, the game relies on the same gems that made the Arkham franchise the renowned saga it is today and makes it bigger and better, most of the time. The combat system is mostly left untouched, with minor additions like new enemy types such as the martial artists) and, in pure Batman fashion, a couple of enw gadgets to be incorporated in your fighting techniques. It is not necessiraly better than before, but not worse in any way.

    The boss battles, for their part, are one of the very strong points in Arkham Origins. The Bane (Royal Hotel) and Deathstroke bouts come to mind for example. The fight with Slade Wilson, as much by its camera play than the calm but deadly tone it has, lets you feel the power of both the super-powered mercenary and the Dark Knight, with the latter of course coming out on top. QTEs are also part of the fight, but not in a bothering way, only in one that lets you live much more engaging scenes that will be engraved in your memory. The Bane fight is just as memorable, with you being thrown from wall to wall, your attacks ineffective against the powerhouse that is Bane. These fights make me think, I recommend playing Arkham Origins, and all Arkham games for that matter, on Hard difficulty. Not because it is too easy otherwise, but because it removes tips during boss fights and gameplay in general, leaving you to figure out, as Batman would, how to use your surroundings to complete your mission. Finally, collectibles retain their place and number from the previous games as an extra challenge for completionists, one that will require more than patience to be overwhelmed.

    A brand new feature for Arkham is the inclusion of Multiplayer. The idea is no doubt innovative, pitting three teams against one another: three of Bane's mercenaries v.s. three of Joker's gang v.s. Batman and Robin. Both criminal factions look to control domination points and eliminate every member of the other gang, while Batman and Robin take down the thugs to fill out an ''Intimidation Meter'' that will deplete quite quickly when the heroes are instead taken down. If one team wipes out the other, or if the Heroes fill out their meter, it is game over. While the execution is still to be refined, maybe in another WB Games entry in the Arkham franchise (as Arkham Knight was confirmed to be solo only), as the controls can be a little buggy and the gameplay slightly unbalanced. Also, the fact that there is only ONE mode (two counting post-launch updates), makes it look poor in comparison to most modern multiplayer games, including other innovative multiplayers like AC. There is room for improvement, but it is nonetheless a very determined attempt to bring a long-demanded aspect of gameplay to a beloved franchise.

    In conclusion, Arkham Orgins is maybe not the staple of modern gaming that most gamers associated with the Arkham franchise, but I can safely say that is stands tall alongside Rocksteady's masterpiece, and I would be very glad to see WB Games Montreal try their luck with another game in the same era, maybe based on the fan-favorite Suicide Squad, who knows.    … Expand

Relationships are just being formed between allies, villains, and the city itself. It seems weird that Batman knows so much about certain villains that he is meeting for the first time, and he's not quite as inexperienced as you might expect, but there are moments of growth for the character here. Elements of the world that made up the previous games that take place later on down the timeline are just starting to come to fruition. It's a pretty satisfying prequel story.

    From a gameplay standpoint not much is new. The same great combat and traversal are present. It's not much new, but the excellent main and side content means that it's still a lot of fun. There are some new items in Batman's arsenal. Shock gloves beef up combat making you feel like an even more unstoppable crime fighting machine. Detective vision now allows Batman to recreate crime scenes in order to tell what happened. They are both really cool new additions, but it seems odd that Batman wouldn't be using these tools later on in his career. I get that this is a sequel and that new tools are to be expected, but it is kind of odd that this prequel story uses tech that isn't seen later on. Oh well, I'm not complaining too much. They just make the game more fun.

    Another new addition is that this is the first Arkham game with multiplayer. It's basically just two groups of villains going head to head while Batman and Robin stalk from the shadows. Playing as a superhero is exactly like the campaign and playing a goon is your standard 3rd person shooter. It never really hooked me, but the only real issue I have with it is that it seems a bit unbalanced. Playing as one of the very mortal heroes against other players with guns isn't quite fair. Still there are ways to win as a hero by using stealth and quick thinking, but you are going to have your work cut out for you. I personally don't think the multiplayer mode is worth much.

    The single-player content more than makes up for that though. It's a welcome return to the "Arkham" universe. While the developers don't do much to expand on Rocksteady's work they make another rfine game in the series. There's plenty of content to keep you coming back to the story mode thanks to a lot of side-content and the new game + and "I Am the Night" modes. There are plenty of reasons to step back into Batman's cowl.

    I give "Batman: Arkham Origins" a 9.4/10.    … Expand

    I don't know that I've played a better game than arkham city on the xbox. so to me making a game like arkham origins makes sense somewhat because many series have gone off track by trying to change what isn't broke. i only give it a 9 and not a 10 because every game should be judged at least a little on what ground it breaks in comparison to it's predecessors, also the bridge is too long, though fast travel makes it mainly a moot point.
    And about these so called win buttons....especially the inclusion of the shock gloves, that particular addition to the series i LOVE and i really hope they don't take them out (it's not like im bad at combat either, i'm at least average to above average)
    lastly, the deathstroke boss fight is right up there with best all time imho.    … Expand

But it threw me under the bus. Anyway, the combat is good, pretty much the same style as Asylum and City, but with a few more moves and take downs. The Fast Travel Feature is really nice, although in my opinion you basically don't need to take down all of Enigma's jammers, because one is unlocked in Arkham City, and one is unlocked in New Gotham (unless of course you want to complete the Most Wanted mission of Enigma). The graphics are also pretty sharp.… Expand

    While it's true that it's the same old formula from the Arkham Asylum and Arkham City games, i believe that it works. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" as the saying goes.

Still, overall, it's a game that keeps you on your toes, scaling up it's difficulty on each stage. And while it's true that most battles of the game are just "button-smasher" on the first run, on the higher difficulty levels they become quite an ordeal.

    I've had many more glitches with FIFA, Madden or COD games. So, why is everyone so upset about having a few glitches with this game? Because the previous 2 games put the bar so high it was obvious this game was goint to be the ugly one of the trio.

    On the other hand, the game is great at expanding the Arkham universe. While I was worried about Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill not returning as Batman and The Joker, the latter being replaced by Troy Baker showed to be an excelent choice. The best part of the game comes in the form of a flashback the clown has while being psychologically questioned.

    The multiplayer shows us why Rocksteady wanted the Arkham games to be a single player universe, and after a few matches become repetitive and highly unbalanced. Sometimes, waiting in a lobby takes longer than the match itself. Make this most time.

    Even then, the game as a stand-alone is a wonderful game, and patches have made the experience far more enjoyable (I had this glitch on I Am The Night mode when my gadgets kept disappearing, thus making further progress impossible. This was fixed long ago). I repeat: previous titles don't make this game bad as a stand alone title.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La serie de Batman Arkham es una de las franquicias de videojuego más populares en los últimos años, sin embargo, muchos de los jugadores no tienen a esta entrega como una de la saga solo por no tener el sello de Rocksteady, Batman Arkham Origins es nuevamente un sandbox que se centra en los primeros años de Batman en donde apenas muchos de los ciudadanos creían que era un mito, la historia comienza en una navidad en donde Mascara negra pone precio a la cabeza del murciélago y 8 matones son contratados para realizar dicha acción, en términos generales la historia está bien a secas, debido a que en algunas ocasiones lo sentí tedioso y aunque tiene algunas partes muy buenas, en otras veces no le agarras interés, la sentí tardada debido a que en varias ocasiones me vi dando vueltas por la ciudad debido a que los objetivos no están nada cercanos uno del otro de lo cual hablare más adelante, si bien la historia de los asesinos es interesante, algunos los tienes que buscar vía misiones secundarías, los combates contra jefes son repetitivos, sin embargo quiero destacar el combate contra Deathstroke porque siento que es el mejor combate de la franquicia, lo termine en difícil en todos sus modos y créanme que es un reto y la primera pelea contra Bane la cual también logro sacarme canas verdes en sus modos más difíciles, el sistema combate y el planeo es una calca de Arkham City, lo cual no es malo debido a que ese sistema de combate era excelente, sin embargo, varias veces me encontré con bugs en mi partida, en combos donde no funcionaba como debería o algunos matones simplemente ya estaban noqueados pero seguían parados lo cual se me hace mal en pleno 2020, en el planeo siento que fue un pequeño retroceso de Arkham City debido a que lo siento más rígido sin embargo no necesariamente es malo porque el juego se sitúa en época navideña y con tormenta de nieve, pero como ya lo mencione anteriormente los objetivos son muy lejanos y créanme que es aburrido planear una y otra vez, con los demás nunca he tenido problema y sí, hay viaje rápido, pero personalmente lo use únicamente cuando ya iba a terminar la partida al 100% para no afectar la experiencia, las misiones son largas y en algunas te quedas un rato sin saber a dónde ir debido a que no te lo dicen, si bien en los otros juegos de Arkham tampoco te lo dicen en su totalidad pero son muy intuitivos, en coleccionables son muchísimos y no siento que afecten como tal a la experiencia honestamente me tomo 9 meses coleccionar todo y no fue porque no los hallara debido a que le puedes sacar las ubicaciones a los secuaces del acertijo, sino porque el juego en si se me torno aburrido debido a su sistema de planeo, en resumen, Batman Arkham Origins no es un mal juego, su historia si bien tiene una buena primicia, la ejecución no termina de convencer, la interpretación de voces es muy buena tanto en inglés como en español destacando las voces de Batman y el Joker las voces en general cuentan con raros problemas en la sincronización, sigue teniendo bugs en pleno 2020 o cual me hace preguntarme como estuvo el día de lanzamiento, los combates llegan a ser tediosos así como las secciones de sigilo, el apartado grafico para la época es muy bueno, sin embargo en ocasiones tuve bajones de framerate y en otras corría muy fluido, la banda sonora no está mal pero no es tan buena como la de City, por parte de los coleccionables son demasiados y no te recompensan de una manera grata, realmente los haces solo para completar el juego, el juego realmente para mi merece ser jugado un poco por su historia y los datos interesantes como el origen del Joker haciendo referencia al comic y algunos combates como el de Bane y el de Deathstroke, si te gustan los juegos de Arkham dale una oportunidad aunque diré que si se siente la diferencia a los otros juegos de la serie.… Expand

    Batman Arkham Origins, while with its issue, is a massively fun game and a great title in the Arkham series. The main reason the game is seen as a lesser title to the previous Arkham games, is due to the choice to recreate the style of the rocksteady Arkham games. However, I found the story to hold very strong and the experience held up very well with the other Arkham games.

    My favorite Arkham game. Bruce goes through such a great arc, and the game introduces a lot of characters that were left out of the prior games.

    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

    Arkham Origins is very fun to play and very easy to forget as soon as you're done. Kicking butt as Batman is still a joy and the Invisible Predator scenes are as excellent as ever, but the game's almost complete lack of surprises weighs the experience severely down. [Nov 2013]

    That it's so thoroughly entertaining despite being mostly identical to its predecessors speaks volumes about the quality of Rocksteady's original design, and of Warner Montreal's understanding of same. [Jan 2014, p.68]

    It's a case of more of the same, but with such good source material this isn't a bad thing. [Issue#105, p.87]
