Very relaxing game. Devs genuinly listen to the community and add new content/updates regulary. Still going strong after more than a year after release.

Arkham Origins is a great game that doesn't deserve the flak it receives from most reviewers. Arkham Origins takes the gameplay mechanics from Arkham City - the responsive freeflow fighting mechanic demonstrating just how badass Batman is and the tightly coordinated predator rooms that allow multiple approaches - and combines it with a great storyline. If you enjoyed Arkham City, you'll enjoy this game.

The gameplay isn’t much different from Arkham City. You’ll have some new/replaced items, some new enemy types are introduced, the city has been expanded and they added a new detective mini-game. Ultimately, these are only minor changes from the solid base that Arkham City created. The game doesn’t offer the revolutionary changes that Arkham City did compared to Arkham Asylum, but rather expands on it.

The story features both well-known (Joker, Penguin, Bane) as lesser-known characters (Firefly, Shiva, Deadshot). Not every character is part of the main story, so it is advised to try and play the Most Wanted side missions for the full experience. The well-crafted Mad Hatter stage deserves a playthrough.

At the time of writing, it appears WB patched most of the bugs. During my three playthroughs (new game, new game+ and I am the night mode, 100%, roughly 70 hours), as well as during the Cold Cold Heart DLC, I experienced only a single non-game breaking bug. This is coming from an inherently more bug-prone Crossfire system. You’ll see most negative reviews because of bugs are pre January 2014.

Traditional rating: 8/10

Game of the year material. 160+ hours of gameplay and still a lot more to explore.
