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.

I am angry batman!
Alfred sigue siendo un personajazo

This game is just kino
Get it on Sale. Definitely one of the weaker entries to the franchise. Arkham City felt more tightly knit, you can tell this game wasn't made by Rocksteady. It features a lot of gameplay elements of City that are reskinned, and don't really provide much in the way of originality. The level design is really by the numbers and linear (at least City had better pacing in its linear levels) and had too much stealth sections that never felt interesting to do- for example they'd open up a whole room and fill it with vents and breakable walls and ceilings but you never felt the need to use any of them to spice things up. Sidenote: even with the community patch, some bugs are still present like the one that causes enemies to ragdoll/yeet after a silent takedown with their freaking bodies landing to wherever a patrolling guard is. Also the teleporting enemies in stealth sections. Getting to the power spike from the shock gloves took forever and ultimately failed to even feel like one just because they were TOO strong (win button), they removed any and all tension but hey at least you dont get to spend minutes achingly spam punches on arbitrarily tanky enemies... this is coming from someone who mixes up their combos a lot with gadgets and other mechanics. YES, they technically made the combat more fluid with all these new animations that weave into the other much better, but I never felt compelled to mix things up like I did in City for whatever reason (probably because things just did not feel as "tight" as they did in City). The overworld map sucks to navigate around even with the fast travel drop points. The boss fights are a mixed bag and overall aren't as enjoyable as they could have been even if they did look cooler. Visually the game is so monotone and uninspired. It puts you in Gotham but nothing about it feels that way. The in-universe explanation for civilians being gone is flimsy at best (it's Christmas eve! Everyone is safe at home!) The Black Mask fakeout for a Joker reveal just was NOT it in hindsight, not helped by the Joker looking completely different from his Arkham model (and this isnt because he's younger, he straight up looks different). However, the voice acting in this is good and didn't have performances and terrible character models that took me out like Quincy Sharp did in Asylum/City. It lacks polish, but even with it, it just doesnt hold a candle to the atmosphere the trilogy provides. It's only better than Asylum because Asylum is so damn old and pioneered the genre. They set it out to be a "Year Two" experience but then it hamfists you with gadgets and tech that are also in City, lol.
Everything about this game is awesome. But you already know that.
