Arkham Origins is truly an amazing Batman game that has been unfortunately ignored by Warner Brothers and Rocksteady. The best part of this game is its story and boss battles. The story is a fantastic prequel with a unique Christmas atmosphere for the Arkham Games. The boss battles are varied, and are arguably the best in the franchise. This feels like a better rogues gallery than any of Rocksteady main line games, and actually have Batman be a true detective in side missions. The detail is amazing in this title and the passion in this is equal to rocksteady in my opinion. The numbers loading in the menue, and the references to characters in the world building. Connecting it perfectly to the other entries, but also teasing Suicide Squad (a game Rocksteady is now making). Overall Warner Brothers Games Montreal should be proud of teh great game they made, but this gem has a fatal flaw. This game is not only buggy, but has a progression stopping save corruption issue. Check the forums for potential solutions, but it can't really be saved or changed. I personally experienced over 4 fatal error hard crashes, and 2-3 pc freezing crashes. This only happened after I synced my save data to the cloud after a desync. This is besides the random bugs that you have to fenagle around. Collision erros preventing you from entering doors. Randomly getting stuck, having to look for a grapple point to get out, and even fighting an enemy who is invisible since his model is on the floor. That is ignoring the minor bugs and ragdolls (those are funny though so idc). As much as I want to give this game 4 stars it simply can not be in this state, and I would suggest buying this game at a steeper discount than $20.
