Description
Batman™: Arkham Origins is the next installment in the blockbuster Batman: Arkham videogame franchise. Developed by WB Games Montréal, the game features an expanded Gotham City and introduces an original prequel storyline set several years before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, the first two critically acclaimed games of the franchise. Taking place before the rise of Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals, the game showcases a young and unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early career as a crime fighter that sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight.

Key Features:

  • The Arkham Story Begins: Batman: Arkham Origins features a pivotal tale set on Christmas Eve where Batman is hunted by eight of the deadliest assassins from the DC Comics Universe. Players become an early-career Batman as he encounters for the first time many of the characters that shape his future.
  • Enhanced Detective Mode: Think like Batman with an all-new Case File system that allows players to analyze seemingly impossible-to-solve crime reconstructions in real time. Combining Batman’s cowl sensors with the Batcomputer, players can digitally recreate crimes and study detailed simulation of the act as it happened.
  • Gotham City will learn to fear Batman: Take back the sprawling streets of Gotham years before its transformation into Arkham City. Glide above or battle your way through new and ever more dangerous districts in the quest for justice. Prevent crimes in progress, take down gangs of violent new criminals and explore deadly new locations, from the impoverished streets to the penthouses of Gotham’s wealthy.
  • Gotham’s Most Wanted: The city streets are filled with more than just Black Mask’s assassins. Locate and take down Gotham’s most violent and dangerous criminals to earn unique upgrades.
  • Lethal New Enemies: Fight new foes such as the Armored Enforcer, the Martial Artist and more – each of which challenge players to approach Batman’s FreeFlow Combat scenarios in different ways. Classic FreeFlow combat is expanded with every new opponent – and with Batman’s abilities to engage them.
  • New Gadgets: Utilize Batman’s signature gadgets or take advantage of powerful new additions such as the Remote Claw, the Concussion Detonator and more. Use the Remote Claw to create new routes by deploying strategic tightropes or directly attack enemies by stringing them up from vantage points. Ready the Concussion Detonator to stun and disorient groups of opponents in close combat.
  • New and Familiar Characters: Experience a fresh take on iconic Batman characters including Black Mask, Penguin, Deathstroke, Bane, Deadshot, Anarky, Captain Gordon, The Joker, Copperhead, Firefly and others yet to be revealed.

My Personal Favourite.

There's a lot that keeps drawing me back to this game in particular. Though the other Arkham games all have their strengths, this game's combat is arguably the best in the whole series. Free flow focus, critical strikes, gadget quickfires, numerous ways to counter opponents, this game has everything you'd want out of Rocksteady's trademark combat system. Not to mention the general tone of the story, the music, the atmosphere of Gotham's snowy streets, the introduction of reconstructing crime scenes, and the fact this game acts as a prequel for the series, this game gives a general grounded Batman experience, even by the gritty standards of its peers. Of course, my memory of this game wouldn't be complete without one particular boss battle that will still makes me tense every time I think about it.

Crashes even in first boss fight

I hoped the bugs will avoid me, but nope, it is full of them. Crash in first boss fight leaves you without save which force you to replay full starting half hour sequence. Even if you go past this, it is so full of crashes with badly constructed save system, which forces you replay multiple missions. This is an awful console port, do not buy it, even for a few pennies.

Nearly unplayable

An absolutely abominable console port. Crashing for reasons, crashing for no reasons, and freezing on fast travel. These reports are all over the internet, so shame on me for not doing research on this title. Shame on GOG for allowing it to be on their store, losing progress constantly from CTD or the well-known Fast Travel glitch, makes this game unfortunately a total waste of time, money, and energy. I have been trying to play it for days now, I think I am done and will put another developer on the "never again" list. Good job WB, this game is atrociously bad.

Requires .ini tweaking for textures

I could complain for hours about this game, but only because I've put nearly a hundred into this unpolished gem. The textures look worse than Nintendo 64 games until you manually edit BmEngine.ini to DetailMode=2 . It's shorter than Arkham City. It's glitchy and buggy. Enemies teleport slightly. It crashes sometimes. Batman is fussy about what can be hookshotted to and what can't be. It's not as polished as Arkham or as focused and deep as Asylum. Crime scene investigations are fun the first time but chores on replays. It's SUPER easy to soft lock the upgrade tree. The stun grenade is inferior to City's REC.

A flawed masterpiece

Story is 10/10 Gameplay 10/10 The only three complaints I have with this game are that the campaign tracks have accolades that are missable, the predator sections are somewhat thin on the ground, and there are some bugs in the game. Aside from these gripes, this is basically a perfect game.
