4.5/5 ★ – Lord_Ghirahim's review of Batman: Arkham Origins.
Easily the most under appreciated game in the Arkham franchise as well as my favorite Christmas game of all time. An incredible origin story of Batman’s rivalry with joker, his relationship with GCPD, and many more iconic villains. I Love the incredible performances and the really awesome version of Batman, being younger, more vicious, and more aggressive. The best lineup of bosses in the entire series, namely both Deathstroke and Bane. Speaking of, this game has of the best versions of Bane; by far his best appearance in the Arkhamverse. He’s both incredibly strong and incredibly smart, which is what Bane should be. The combat is the same as Arkham city and that’s far from a bad thing. Detective vision takes a shine as well for the first time, with crime scenes being very fun to Investigate. Finally, the Christmas setting gives this game an incredible flavor, and makes for a wonderful time to beat up criminals during the holidays.
Needs a remaster ASAP
