MY REVIEW • 36.3 HOURS PLAYED
Batman™: Arkham Origins
What I liked
I really enjoyed the Batman combat, stealth and story. Even though it doesn't completely change the Arkham formula, that didn't bother me because the formula already works very well.
What I didn't like
It doesn't introduce as many new ideas as the other Arkham games, and the larger Gotham doesn't always mean there is more interesting content.
Story
Seeing a younger Batman dealing with assassins and developing relationships with characters like Gordon makes the story interesting.
Combat & Gameplay
The free-flow combat is excellent. Moving between enemies, countering attacks and using Batman's gadgets makes you feel powerful without making every fight automatic. The predator sections are some of my favorite parts because taking enemies out one at a time makes playing as Batman much more interesting than simply fighting everyone directly.
Final Thoughts
It may not reinvent the Arkham games, but I really enjoyed the combat, stealth and Batman story.
