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.
Cause I need it to open this door to progress the story. (its about a min to recharge one shot but thats one minute for each time I cant see the future and predict how many shots im gonna need)
By itself this isnt a bad game although you might notice intermittent interference between your keyboard and batman. I have no idea about a controller. Batman I am certain I pressed the crouch and counter/takedown/aim keys to finish off the armored guy on the ground but itt seems like you just thought I pressed the counter button and now we have to start enerythign over again
Save system is fine although its 1 save only per playthrough (NOT MANUAL) so make sure to back it up anytime you feel like you might mess somthing up, like those certain challenges.
Make sure to google Batman: Arkham Origins PC Gaming Wiki (should be close enough) to see a bunch of well organized technical information about the game. You can use this wiki for just about any game you play.
Read up on the challenges and the challenges about completing the challenges.
This isnt everything but its an ok start.
Its a 3/5 since I played Arkham city first. It would be a 4/5 if had played this game (Origin) first. So if you cant resist I suggest playing Origin first the waiting about a year or whatever to forget the story and game play then playing City so you can end on a better note. Just keep in mind in city, the batmobile handles like it only has 2 wheel drive.
There is so much more but my disrupter is charged so I got to get back to it.
This game is a prequel, where Batman is still viewed as an unknown quantity.
Its Christmas Eve and and entire rogues gallery is out to collect a bounty placed on Batman's head by Black Mask. If you enjoyed any of the other games in the Arkham series, you'll be right at home with this. Gotham is presented as an open world crimefighting playground rich with goons to beat up and crimes to solve. The atmosphere is rich and the voice acting is stellar, with Roger Craig Smith playing a younger version of the late, great Kevin Conroy's Batman.
Loved the art style and rough around the edges Batman here. A lot more brutal than the others seeing as he was starting out. Didn't initially like that the Joker was the villain (again) but it turned out okay.
The combat system was the best in the series in my opinion.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
