5/5 ★ – IronPackfan's review of Batman: Arkham Origins.

I love this game but it is in dire need of a remaster still can’t believe we never got a PS4 version. It’s not a bad game but the performance is rough. Idk what the PC version is like, but my PS3 copy while it still works is inconsistent with the frame rate and load times. Sometimes I would arrive to a location before enemies loaded in. But man Roger Craig Smith and Troy Baker do such a great job as Batman and Joker filling in for Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill who did not return for this one. I love the aggressive, intolerant nature of Batman in this one and I also really love his relationship with Alfred. Bane as a villain is very intelligent and threatening; something that other entires neglected. While this isn’t my favorite Arkham game, I do think it’s underrated. But man that upgrade system sucks. Unable to unlock the Disarm and Destroy upgrade until I complete the Bird side mission which isn’t available until 2/3 of the way through the campaign? Can’t unlock other auxiliary upgrades with leveling up in the Dark Knight System? There’s way too much happening in this game honestly. It was kinda overwhelming. But why is this a five star review if it has all these flaws? Because I love it. I will always love it. And that will never change
