    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

    It's alright, it has great moments but sub-par ones as well. I wont spoil but some story elements feel rushed because theyre just stupid. Some "emotional moments" are just mega cringe and make little sense. However graphics are great and some cutscenes are epic af. This is arkham city again though, but arkham city was great anyways

    The worst Batman Arkham game is still surprisingly playable. WB Games Montréal tries to replicate Rocksteady's approach but fails to do so. However, the foundation by Rocksteady is so solid, that the game works anyway.

    Pros: + Game mechanics are directly copied from Rocksteady games and they work quite well. + Gotham lore is still well-written. + The game is set at Christmas, so    The worst Batman Arkham game is still surprisingly playable. WB Games Montréal tries to replicate Rocksteady's approach but fails to do so. However, the foundation by Rocksteady is so solid, that the game works anyway.

    Pros:
    + Game mechanics are directly copied from Rocksteady games and they work quite well.
    + Gotham lore is still well-written.
    + The game is set at Christmas, so playing it during the Holiday season was fun.
    + The outfits of the Black Mask gang are cool: suits, turtlenecks, and golden chains.

    Cons:
    - The main story is cheap. While Rocksteady games introduced a new angle on Batman and Joker characters that worked well specifically for video games, WB Games Montréal just rehashes ideas from Nolan movies. It makes the story predictable and disappointing. Like 4/10 at best.
    - Tutorials miss the mark. In half the places the stuff is over-explained: like you're not even given a second to think about the puzzles, Batman immediately voices the solution. In other places (like the Deathstroke fight), the new mechanics are not introduced/explained at all. It makes the difficulty curve hilariously uneven.
    - Open-world design clashes with the linear gadget tree. And backtracking is not a lot of fun in this one.
    - Bugs, bugs, bugs. The game crashed 10+ times on me. Interrogate actions didn't trigger from time to time. Some scenes were missing voiceover.    … Expand

    Basicamente um copiar e colar do AC, é bom, porque é o AC com história e vilões diferentes, mas nada
    de novo além da história. Mas mesmo assim é divertido de se jogar e continua sendo um ótimo jogo

    Probably the best story of all the Arkham games. It just didn't get the credit it deserved. The world isn't as good as Arkham City or Knight, but it's good nonetheless. If u like the Arkham games u will like this prequel. Amazing story and fighting DeathStroke & Bane is just the bomb. It requires some skills. Long live the Bat!

    On tombe en outre sur une tonne de remplissage avec des merdes à trouver, activer, décrypter, ramasser, détruire dans la ville entière… ça déborde ! toutes les conneries de Nigma sont là par exemple, encore puisque c’était déjà le cas dans Arkham City. Sauf qu’ici, c’est pire… ou du moins, c’est l’impression que ça donne.

    La jouabilité est donc toujours aussi casse-couilles avec en prime des boss qui le sont encore plus, dont l’un, Deathmachin de mon cul (il est chié lui, putain !), est à vous rendre fou puisque tout le combat n’est qu’un gros paquet de QTE à peine déguisés !

    De toute façon, comme dit plus avant, le jeu reste lourd, d’une lourdeur inexpugnable qui rend les affrontements fastidieux (lesquels sont quasiment des suites de QTE improbables, les obligations du ‘contre’ obligatoire…) alors que les possibilités d’infiltration s’avèrent compliquées et stériles, quand elles ne sont pas tout simplement… caduques !

    On veut bien être patient mais ce Batman-là, on n’en veut pas : c’est un jeu démoulé par des baltringues qui ont tellement chargé la barque qu’elle coule à pic jusqu’au fond, un jeu emporté par les affres de son propre poids : pas étonnant qu’il sombre aussi vite… finalement !    … Expand

Although it is understandable as to why it has the reputation that it does developed by a separate studio then Rocksteady who were hard at work working on Arkham Knight for next gen it was decided to have a prequel game developed using the same engine and assets from Arkham City. As a result the game feels and looks a bit like a very large piece of DLC for City. And visually the game doesn't look amazing at least in the open world which also feels a bit empty and boring at times. And other then some new gadgets there isn't much different from this game play wise from the previous title although the Shock Gloves are very satisfying to use in combat. What the game lacks in visuals though Id say they more then make for in the plot and content of the game. I wont go too far into the plot set two years into Batman crusade you must face against various assassins' hired to kill the Batman. And I must day I like most of the characters they picked for this game Deathstrock, Anarchy, Firefly there's plenty of old and new faces for the series and speaking of these characters this game has probably the best boss battles of the series. The other games aren't really known for there boss battles but this game has some really good ones like the fight with Deathstoke or Bane. So while the game can feel a bit repetitious and visually dull the game play is still solid and the plot is interesting with some pretty good boss battles added in.… Expand

    Fine game. Despite the 6/10, I genuinely believe this game is slightly underrated by the masses. But I also kind of understand why. This is where the formula got tired. And it was rough because this game came out two years after Arkham City, yet in almost every aspect Origins is worse than Arkham City.

    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.

    Это уже третья часть прекрасной серии Arkham и не побоюсь этого слова - лучшей супергеройской саги на просторах мира виртуального. Origins по сути это усовершенствованный вариант Arkham City с более мощным и интересным сюжетом, повествующем о разборках Бэтса с кучей плохих боссов преступного мира таких как Крок, Бэйн, Дэзстроук, Медноголовка, Блэк маск, Шива, Энигма, Файрфлай и прочие.Это уже третья часть прекрасной серии Arkham и не побоюсь этого слова - лучшей супергеройской саги на просторах мира виртуального.

Также Origins нам расскажет о важнейшем событии готемских приключений - первой встрече с Джокером и завязке весьма необычной психологической связи мыша с главнейшим ультраобаятельным антагонистом. К боевочке привычной и арсеналу мыша добавились шоковые перчатки - вполне себе необходимое дополнение, учитывая тот факт что в некоторых местах концентрация бандосов зашкаливает. Весьма интересен режим детективного расследования. По общей игровой составляющей появились более интересные загадки по сравнению с сити, башни, любопытные допмиссии и ну конечно же захватывающая основная ветка. Не забудем напомнить конечно же о Готэме, как всегда прекрасном в своём мрачном готическом великолепии ещё и в метель... красота!!! Можно сказать, что всё почти идеально. Почти лишь потому, что идеально будет дальше;)… 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

    I am not the most experienced action video game player but I played Asylum and City and made it through those games fine on Normal difficulty. They were a healthy challenge for me but with Origins I feel there is this punishing boss fight that is totally unnecessary. I made it through Asylum and City to enjoy the story lines but here - nah, I'm done now. I'm not sure what the developers are thinking with this one - aside from the insane difficulty, the environment is not as believable as the other games; not as immersive.    … Expand

    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]
