Batman™: Arkham Origins

Feels like a downgrade from Arkham Asylum. Just button mashing brawls strung together, broken up occasionally with tedious scan-the-thing "puzzles".

bro, you're batman and can break some legs

I'm sucker for Batman games. :)

It's more darker than Asylum and City. Gameplay is fun and challenging, but not too difficult. Good Graphics on max settings and very good soundtrack.

Probably it's my fault but i expected something totally different. I didn't play the previous games of the serie, so considering many (misleading and fanboyish) reviews here I expected an open world action game with a lot of freedom and exploration, a sort of ''GTA: Gotham City''. On the contrary what i found is a super linear beat'em up in which you continuously beat super stupid morons with a combat system so unrealistic that compared to this game even Skyrim could be used as a simulator for the Army. The city is beautiful and intriguing, but absolutely empty: no NPC (only stupid cops kidnapped by stupid bandits) no shops, no environmental interactions, no looting, no exploration, no vehicles, no emergent gameplay, nothing. The scheme is always the same: you receive a mission, you go on the field, you proceed through a mainly linear path beating everything, you reach and defeat a boss. End of the mission, we can return to the base. Sometimes you can find secret passages or areas, but they don't change the main structure, which is linear and old. You can roam through the city if you like, but you'll find nothing interesting, so it doesn't make any sense. The side missions are grindy and boring, more or less similar to the stupidest missions of the Minutemen in Fallout4. I gave two stars only because the graphics are good and the setting is interesting, the rest of the game is garbage, really depressing.
