Batman™: Arkham Origins is the next installment in the blockbuster Batman: Arkham videogame franchise. Developed by WB Games Montréal, the game features an expanded Gotham City and introduces an original prequel storyline set several years before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, the first two critically acclaimed games of the franchise. Taking place before the rise of Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals, the game showcases a young and unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early career as a crime fighter that sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight.
The Arkham Story Begins: Batman: Arkham Origins features a pivotal tale set on Christmas Eve where Batman is hunted by eight of the deadliest assassins from the DC Comics Universe. Players become an early-career Batman as he encounters for the first time many of the characters that shape his future.
Enhanced Detective Mode: Think like Batman with an all-new Case File system that allows players to analyze seemingly impossible-to-solve crime reconstructions in real time. Combining Batman’s cowl sensors with the Batcomputer, players can digitally recreate crimes and study detailed simulation of the act as it happened.
Gotham City will learn to fear Batman: Take back the sprawling streets of Gotham years before its transformation into Arkham City. Glide above or battle your way through new and ever more dangerous districts in the quest for justice. Prevent crimes in progress, take down gangs of violent new criminals and explore deadly new locations, from the impoverished streets to the penthouses of Gotham’s wealthy.
Gotham’s Most Wanted: The city streets are filled with more than just Black Mask’s assassins. Locate and take down Gotham’s most violent and dangerous criminals to earn unique upgrades.
Lethal New Enemies: Fight new foes such as the Armored Enforcer, the Martial Artist and more – each of which challenge players to approach Batman’s FreeFlow Combat scenarios in different ways. Classic FreeFlow combat is expanded with every new opponent – and with Batman’s abilities to engage them.
New Gadgets: Utilize Batman’s signature gadgets or take advantage of powerful new additions such as the Remote Claw, the Concussion Detonator and more. Use the Remote Claw to create new routes by deploying strategic tightropes or directly attack enemies by stringing them up from vantage points. Ready the Concussion Detonator to stun and disorient groups of opponents in close combat.
New and Familiar Characters: Experience a fresh take on iconic Batman characters including Black Mask, Penguin, Deathstroke, Bane, Deadshot, Anarky, Captain Gordon, The Joker, Copperhead, Firefly and others yet to be revealed.

great game but it won't work on modern PC systems, you will experience sound stutters, D311 issues (which can be solved by turning it off and setting it to 10), sound randomly disappears in-game with the exception of some sounds such as opening doors and my first fight with croc turned my screen black randomly mid-game. and this is on my 5080, 98 gigs ram, best motherboard on the market etc. WB is just too lazy to update this game for modern hardware to function properly. alot of old games on steam are like this for some reason.
Just finished it today. WOW! This game was way better than I thought. Much better that the time I played Arkham City. Everything was a major upgrade, especially the skills, story, and the totality of the gameplay. I love all of it. This game is definitely worth playing right after Arkham City and on Hard Mode too. Don't miss out on this one and play this before Arkham Knight!
[h1] BATMAN: Arkham Origins [/h1] [h2] ВТОРОЙ ПОШЁЛ [/h2] Запуск, сразу игра бросает тебя в гущу событий и ты снова Брюс... точнее Бэтмен. Человек, который борется с преступностью в городе, но теперь ещё более мрачнее, масштабнее и приземлённо. Долго не буду тянуть и подтвержу, что все забыли легенду и когда вы заходите в игру 2013 года и [b] LEGO [/b] игру 2026 года, понимаете, что раньше делали вещи... https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=824753471 [h2] ВПЕЧАТЛЕНИЯ [/h2] Я пытался её пройти несколько раз, два раза точно бросал и на третий решил, что стоит дойти до конца, почему? Batman: Arkham Origins всегда была игрой с непростой судьбой и встречать его хотели максимально холодно, однако после выпуска это не просто качественный приквел, а как, возможно, лучшая сюжетная глава во всей серии Arkham. Это история не о совсем сложившемся герое, а о разбитом, гневном человеке в маске, который только учится быть символом для города. Готэм встречает канун Рождества в буйстве снежной бури. Завывание ветра, хруст снега под ногами, праздничные гирлянды, тускло мерцающие на фоне тотальной коррупции и отчаяния — этот визуальный и звуковой контраст создает уникальное настроение для игры. Бэтмен (как повторюсь) здесь — не отточенный тактик, а бурлящий котел гнева. Его движения резче, удары тяжелее, а во время допросов он откровенно жесток. Старый Готэм и Новый Готэм соединены огромным мостом Пионеров, который сам по себе является локацией. Дизайн города стал более вертикальным, декадентским, напоминающим архитектуру Готэма из фильмов. Музыкальная тема в этой серии от [b] Кристофера Дрейка [/b] просто поподание в точку, она — тревожная и самая подходящая для рождества и её атмосферы. [hr][/hr] [h2] СЮЖЕТ [/h2] [b] WB Games Montreal [/b] удалось то, что не всегда получалось у [b] Rocksteady [/b] — рассказать глубоко личную и психологически зрелую историю. Главный сюжетный твист, который многие помнят до сих пор, — это внезапное появление Джокера. То, что поначалу кажется историей о заказе, мастерски перетекает в трагедию зарождения вечного противостояния. Хотя ты до конца думаешь, что главный злодей это [b] Чёрная маска [/b], который делает заказ за голову Бэтмена. Мне кстати [b] Джокер [/b] здесь понравился больше — это просто психоделический ужас. Он не просто хаотичный клоун, он одержим Бэтменом с первой секунды их встречи. Их химия как и в комикса, передана прекрасно. Видно, как искрит этот тандем на экране. Необузданная жестокость Бэтмена сталкивается с безумной, почти романтической одержимостью Джокера. Не менее важна линия [b] Бэйна [/b]. Origins восстанавливает репутацию персонажа, превращенного фильмами Шумахера в бездумного громилу. Здесь Бэйн — интеллектуальный гигант, стратег, который методично изматывает Бэтмена, вычисляет его личность, штурмует Бэтпещеру и ломает героя не только физически, но и морально. Финал истории оставляет горькое послевкусие, потому что путь Бэтмена был именно таким с самого начала. [hr][/hr] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=824753364 [h2] ОПТИМИЗАЦИЯ[/h2] [b] (Ryzen 5 5600, RX 5700 XT, 16 GB) - Мои настройки [/b] Теперь к самому нужному моменту. Как этот "старичок" чувствует себя на этой сборке: процессор - AMD Ryzen 5600, видеокартой Radeon RX 5700 XT и 16 ГБ оперативной памяти Kingston Fury в 2026 году? Ответ: просто превосходно, но с одним важным нюансом. Batman: Arkham Origins построен на сильно модифицированном Unreal Engine 3. Для современного шестиядерного Ryzen 5600 и мощной видеокарты уровня RX 5700 XT (которая сопоставима с RTX 2070/3060) игра — легкая прогулка. Можно смело выставлять разрешение 2560x1440 или даже 4K со всеми настройками на максимум и рассчитывать на стабильные 60+ FPS (игра заблокирована на 60 кадрах без правки .ini файлов, но это легко снимается модом "Smooth Patch". Главный враг на AMD — PhysX. При включении PhysX на «Высоко» вся нагрузка по расчету физики ляжет на CPU. Процессор Ryzen 5600, хоть и очень мощный, в определенных сценах, но может вызвать просадки вплоть до 35-40 кадров. Решение этому простое и радикальное: в настройках графики установите PhysX в положение "Низко" или "Выкл". Визуально вы потеряете лишь несколько декоративных эффектов. [hr][/hr] [h2] СТОИТ В НЕЁ ИГРАТЬ СЕГОДНЯ? [/h2] Однозначно да. Более того, сегодня Batman: Arkham Origins — это обязательный пункт для любого поклонника Темного рыцаря, который по какой-то причине пропустил ее. В основе геймплея — всё та же гениальная боевая система Freeflow, но с несколькими заметными изменениями. Бэтмен может сканировать место преступления и буквально отматывать время назад, восстанавливая голографическую последовательность событий. Высматривать улики, перематывать взад-вперед траекторию пули и искать зацепки — это чувствуется настоящей детективной работой, а не подсвеченным кликерством. Арсенал молодого Бэтмена более грубый и экспериментальный. Дистанционный коготь позволяет притягивать к себе врагов или сшибать их с ног и ещё множество разных прикольных гаджетов. Босс-файты — абсолютный пик игры. Поединок с Детстроуком — это балет на грани ножа. Быстрый, требующий идеального тайминга контратак, без единого гаджета, только кулаки и мечи. Схватка с Файрфлаем — кинематографичная погоня по мосту с использованием когтя. Финальный бой с Бэйном, где гигант в кромешной тьме ищет вас, ориентируясь на шумы — хоррор-сегмент, заставляющий сердце биться чаще. Однако куда без минусов. Если вы играли в предыдущие части, то от свободного перемещения по городу и драк "вау" почти не будет. Открытый мир, несмотря на красоту, пустоват — большую часть побочных заданий занимает гринд по уничтожению вышек и сбору коллекционных жетонов. [hr][/hr] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=828253446 [h2] ИТОГ [/h2] [b] Arkham Origins [/b] — это недооценённая жемчужина с лучшей сюжетной аркой во всей серии, показывающая превращение жестокого мстителя в настоящего Тёмного рыцаря. стория знакомства с Джокером и интеллектуальная дуэль с Бэйном поданы гениально, а босс-файты остаются эталоном жанра. Геймплей вторичен относительно Arkham City, но радует атмосферным снежным Готэмом, отличной детективной механикой и уникальным рождественским настроением. [hr][/hr]
Que jogaço, mesmo não sendo feito pela Rocksteady conseguiram trazer a atmosfera, a história e as personalidades da trilogia arkham. O coringa apresentado aqui se tornou o meu favorito, pelo visual e pela persona psicótica que ele está prestes a se tornar. Essa obra é extremamente cativante, uma pérola que não deveria ser esquecida por não ser incluída quando se lembram da trilogia original.
GOATED GAME, honestly, I prefer the campaign in this game over Arkham City, and the map in this game, although empty at times, is amazing. The theme of an origin story on Christmas Eve is great, and the character design for each villain involved is amazing. The boss fights are definitely the strongest part of this game, and the suit design is the best one out of all the Arkham games!
Short, not really fun, the joker again as an antagonist and way more buggy than the other games. Can't really recommend this one.
This game has so many technical hiccups its actually insane. It has crashed in so many different ways/scenarios, that I am actually starting to lose my mind. Ive never had any of these problems with the other arkham games and it really saddens me give this one a thumbs down because the game itself is actually pretty good. I might try to power through this one, but I cannot recommend the game simply because of all the technical issues.
Shame this game isn't given the same light as the rest of the Arkham games, it has some of the best boss fights in gaming!
the neglected child of arkham games batman arkham origins arrived carrying a burden it did not earn. developed by WB montreal rather than rocksteady, released in the shadow of arkham city, dismissed before the disc finished loading. the consensus calcified quickly; competent but unnecessary, a prequel nobody asked for made by a studio nobody trusted. I find this consensus rather harsh origins places you in gotham on christmas eve, the city blanketed in snow and under siege. a bounty has been placed on batman’s head. eight assassins are loose. there is a sense of urgency to resume christmas this is not the batman you know. he is younger, rawer, driven more by anger than discipline. roger craig smith voices him differently to kevin conroy; there is an edge to it, a volatility, that communicates something xonroy’s composed authority never needed to. this bruce wayne is still being forged. hou feel it in the exchanges with alfred, who spends much of the game visibly worried rather than quietly assured. alfred pushes bruce toward gordon. bruce refuses. that friction is human in a way the later games, with their established hierarchies of trust, cannot replicate. the foundations being laid throughout origins are one of its quietest pleasures. harleen quinzel appears here as a professional; composed, credentialled, entirely intact. barbara gordon begins her quiet pivot toward oracle. gordon himself views batman with suspicion, the GCPD as much an obstacle as any assassin. watching these relationships exist before they become what we know them to be lends the whole game a different texture. you are not simply playing a batman story. you are watching the conditions for every batman story assemble themselves. if there is one domain in which origins surpasses the rest of the arkham series without qualification, it is the boss fights. deathstroke is a fair duel: demanding, precise, the kind of encounter that made me feel genuinely outmatched as a child and still commands full attention now. matching firefly on the bridge; bombs to disable, the infrastructure of the bridge failing around you, grappling onto him as he tears across the sky. it is one of the finest set pieces the series has ever produced. origins understood something about boss design that the other entries did not always grasp. the joker thread here is great. the story of how he finds himself. how meeting batman gives him something he did not previously have; purpose, opposition, meaning. when Batman saves him, when the joker wants to go out swinging and bruce pulls him back regardless, the nature of their relationship suddenly makes complete sense. getting to play as joker unpacking it all is a delight in itself. if you are coming to the arkham series for the first time, please don’t rule out arkham origins. chronology demands it, and it earns everything that follows. all of it is seeded here: the trust between batman and gordon, the tragedy of harleen quinzel, the oracle friendship, koker’s devotion. the weight of what comes after is felt more fully if you understand where it began. the neglected child deserves its flowers. go play it. go for the deluxe edition on sale while you’re at it. for a price tad bit higher, you get the cold, cold, heart DLC which is worth checking out, it adds substantial content to the game.
I pirated this game before and I have re-played this game TWICE. Loved it every time. But when I decided to buy it on steam, I find out that it's a glitchy piece of ♥♥♥♥. I literally can't even finish the Kroc fight because he keeps disappearing. There's also audio issues. Screw you devs, I decided to finally support you and this is what I get.
