Batman™: Arkham Origins

Its like second from the bottom of batman arkham games. Just image all the core things that rocksteady did well with Batman and all the things they didn't do every well. This game is the exact opposite and I dont really like it all that much. Im not a rocksteady simp, I personally dont care who makes it I just want a good Batman game. Not a fan of the level design, the combat, and the stealth that plays into those two. But the boss fights are much better than anything rocksteady did and the cinematics are pretty good too. You'll probably have a good time and might even be in the camp or it being your favorite one in the series. As for me... its ight

The black sheep of the Batman Arkham series. Sticks out like a sore thumb because of its diversion in its casting and direction, but is still absolutely worth playing.

Gameplay is basically the same as you'll find it in the other Arkham games, but the story offers something you don't see in a lot of other Batman stories: a younger, more brash version of Batman, which really makes for some interesting dialogue throughout the game, especially with Alfred.

If none of that interests you, Origins has the best boss fights in the series by far.

Can't speak on the online aspects but you can't even play it anymore anyway.

I get to beat the shit out of criminals dressed as a bat, easy 10/10

great game but u need a lot of patience as the game has so many bugs i had to restart it about 80 times if they fixed there bugs which probably wont happen it would be unreal

The game took me about 15 hours of play time and it was great.

It wasn't as revolutionary as the first two for obvious reasons but it builds on both of them very well.

It is essentially a smooth Arkham city experience where everything flows like melted butter.

If this is the first one you play then it is definitely a 10/10 but if it is the 3rd installment you're playing then it is closer to an 8/10.

Either way for less than $5, it is a perfect 10/10 for me.

Batman: Arkham Origins delivers a solid action-adventure experience, especially for fans of the Arkham series. The combat feels fluid and satisfying, with well-timed counters and a growing arsenal of gadgets keeping fights engaging. Stealth sections are tense and rewarding, encouraging creative use of Batman’s tools. The story, while not as tight as other Arkham entries, offers a compelling look at Batman’s early years, with a standout Joker performance by Troy Baker. Gotham’s snowy, atmospheric streets are fun to explore, though the open world can feel a bit empty at times. While it doesn’t innovate much over its predecessors, the boss fights — particularly the one with Deathstroke — stand out. Overall, it’s a worthwhile experience for those craving more of the Arkham formula.

Very underrated game. It's a more refined version of AC. Shock gloves, same combat, Christmas, remote claw, it's basically AC 2.0. But that's kind of it. I hate the fact that the remote claw is just free takedowns, the shock gloves were fun but they made batman way too OP in this game. I LIKE IT! I had a blast playing on I Am The Night. But the fact that you can leave and exit the game to get your health back takes away the challenge.

Overall Rating: 8.4/10
Some negative things, but a amazing game!

Look i dont know what to say this is my first time playing this game and i love it after playing all other of the arkham trilogy games and saw this on sale it was between this and bordelands 1 and im happy needless to say, you might want to get borderless gaming tool which is free, for this game since v'sync halves your fps by like 3x and look at the setting and press benchmark to see if the game will run smoothly

Awesome batman game. Maybe the least-extraordinary of the bunch created by Rocksteady though. It still deserves its spot and solidifies itself as the prequel to the infamous trilogy. Consider it a piece of that amazing puzzle, because it truly hits the mark on most categories except for its open world, which leaves must to be desired. It makes up for this shortcoming in it's sheer combat variety/boss battles by the end, because this Batman kicks **s.

Arkham City 2.0 to be honest, but is that really a bad thing? If you can get the online working this game is even better.

I really like this game and everything about it,the story,the combat and especially the boss fights

This game DOESNT deserve the hate. It was amazing. The boss fights are amazing and way better than whatever we got in Arkham Knight. The game also has really unique mechanics which I really wish wouldve been added into future installments. The way the story comes together is also fantastic. Some people report bugs and issues but I didn't have any. Most side missions are great but some lack interest for me. Definitely worth the 5 AUD I payed for it.

nice movie scene and an upgrade since i played arkham asylum

I enjoyed this game a lot. The main story is pretty good, gameplay is good as well, but the sidequests are either really good or really boring. Probably my favorite Riddler sidequest because instead of some stupid fucking trophy you get information about the world you're playing in. Probably an eight out of ten.

Meh, if you need something to fill the time after Arkham City and Arkham Asylum this isn't bad. It's not near as good as those 2, but better than Arkham Knight. The markers on the map are hard to see so sometimes it takes a min to figure out what it wants you to do. Get it on sale

Great game, my only issue is that you can't 100% the achievements due to them taking down the online servers :(

Probably the best Batman game I’ve played in the Arkham collection. The snowy Christmas atmosphere, really brings the “Batman Returns” aesthetic to life. The boss fights are fun to engage in, and also the side missions really are challenging.

It’s more fun playing on the Rog ally, while in bed. Recommended especially when it’s on sale, which includes the story DLC expansion.

This is my favourite Arkham game of the entire series. It's a prequel of Arkham Asylum. It's much more linear than some of the other games. You get to experience so many of Batman's comic foes. Each boss battle is unique and brings new appreciation for the game and future games in the series. There's always something to do. The fighting mechanics themselves are boring, sometimes it just feels like button mashing. I was super into the story. The story was so well written and had me very intrigued the whole time. Flying around gets pretty repetitive due to the low diversity of how you can travel throughout the city. There's very very little replay value unless you've forgotten the story.

Its a really cool batman game and its entirely open world as well! A great buy especially on sale.

Its good but such a dumb idea to not letting the player use skins only if you beat the game super let down but other than that its your good batman game

Really good story with increasingly powerful and challenging combat, a good map and fun riddler side mission. Some glitches but they are few and far between.

After completing the whole story, it's for sure one of my favorite Batman games (100% better than Arkham Knight)
It is very smooth cutscene and gameplay wise, even on a decently small laptop as my own. The character designs and story is fantastic while the mechanics and leveing up tree works very well.
I rate the game a 10/10, might even do the "new game plus" just to continue playing the game!

Everything in this game, from fighting to stealth feels good as always in the Arkham games (some bossfights were even better than in City), although Origins feels a bit less finished and it's gameplay is not as satisfiing as in Rocksteady's games. But still decent and entertaining enough, to fill the gap between City and Knight.

Still the step child of the series but non the less great. At the time the game took a lot of shit for a lot of different reasons but when i was lil playing this on the 360 i loved it. Its crazy to see the end credit clip knowing what we know now

Slept on, best boss fights in the series. Don't skip it. Worth it. Remaster for console players WB.

I like this joker performance. We can how joker are so cleverly to plan attacking on batman. Also, batman and his villains story in this game are too serious, traumatic and sadly.

games dope but theres so many bugs. like godamn bugs everywhere! big big bug. this shits like a bugs life

A great addition to the Akham Franchise! A great batman game with great story and awesome boss battles!

Great Game for Batman Fans & No doubt all games in arkham series are good

As someone who just played all 4 games over the past 3-4 months, just play literally any other batman game. There is no reason to play this one outside of wanting completing the whole series.

It looks worse, runs worse and has a worse...everything, compared to even its two predecessors. Glitches galore that will make you restart checkpoints or restart entire fights, wasting tons of time. Movement also feels worse than City, and so does the combat. Yes I know it is a different engine, and to that I ask, why? They should've just left it

One of the few times I genuinely regret a 3.99 purchase

It true that the game is getting a lot of hating but I think that it doesn't deserve that much hate, this was my first game ever in the batman arkham series, it's true that it's not from rocksteady but it was very good especially boss fights.

I honestly think that it was a good decision to start with it before asylum and city (events and how you meet the joker kinda make sense)

Too bad that you can't perfect the game anymore, it forces you to buy a DLC and play online (the servers has been shut down)
I would 100% and let it join my other batman games

Good game, but the final fight is so buggy, it ends up at a point were I have to restart it

I may be biased since I am a fan of Batman, but I have played "city" and "knight" and I really like the game. I have found some bugs seem its best dealt with initiating a mission restart (frustrating) but I really dig the story. But when the Bruce Wayne Birthday sale came on I had to pick up this game since i have not played it before.

I like the graphics. I like the gameplay. I like the story.

Could any of these be better?...I ain't giving a critique like that because I am not a game maker/designer. Are there some things I didn't like, sure. But overall the game is really cool origin story introducing lore that will show up in "city/knight" and maybe asylum but I have not played asylum, its next though.

It's like they took Arkham City and just tightened and polished everything to the 9's. Great game.

Plays really well on the Steam Deck, too.

Absolute Gold Want Everyyone To Enjoy This Perfect Game

This game is good but one of the buggiest out of the four but still good.

This Game is great, Gliding around the city feels a bit empty when compared with the other titles in the series but still an enjoyable game. I wish the multiplayer mode still worked as I've never played it

Its a great game just a bad port. The game can get extremely laggy. Now I understand this isn't the most popular or best selling arkham game but the way this game runs is embarrassing. I can't walk two steps without my frame rate jumping off a cliff. I've tried everything. I even tried running the game on the lowest possible setting and still its unbelievably laggy. This is a sad excuse of a port. I wish this game got better treatment like the other arkham games. If you like batman or the arkham series you will love this game just don't get it on PC play it on console.

This is the best batman game out there the gadgets are insanely fun the story was perfect it just has some minor glitches but doesn't worsen the expierence it actually just makes it funnier
100/10

Good story, great stealth, amazing combat

this game is my second favriot underated game i know and played number 1 is gotg that shit too good but this game not only has one of the greatest stories in the arkham verse the greatest character develpmont the greatest music (in my opinion the music part) the game is REALLY REALLY underrated and also
FUCK YOU WB I AM PLAYING THE SERVERS REVIVED SHIT WHY DID YOU SHUT DOWN THE SERVERS I CAN ONLY DO A COUPLE COMMANDS AND ITS GENUNLY A FUN ONLINE MODE
anyway uhhh 8.8/10

awesome game, interesting story line, liked fighting moves and hidden attacks personally.

pretty fun game! although my game did just now crash during the deathstroke fight, its a fun game!

Definitely the most underrated batman arkham game.The boss fights in this game are incredible and the graphics are still good .The dialogue between thugs is hilarious and the story is so good,I definitely would recommend anyone to play this game

Amazing game with exceptional combat and immersive gameplay.

Game wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. I only had like 2 actual bugs that messed up my game towards the beginning but otherwise it was pretty enjoyable and the story was good.

Despite a lot of people hating or having mixed opinions on this game, it still has a very good and well-crafted story and environment. A lot of people consider this as the "weakest" installment of the series; I still think you should give it a try.

Certainly the outlier of the series, being a bit more edgy and clunky in the way that only games made in the 2011-2013 period had. Even so, it's still a good game in it's own right with good graphics, a somewhat intriguing (if overused) story, and most importantly, fantastic game-play.

Still a great campaign which runs fantastically on Steam Deck with no changes to the standard settings.

Best Batman game you can get. Story is short but there is much to do after you complete it. The DLC makes it better 10/10 on of the best games from my childhood would beat again.
