4/5 ★ – andrew_keck's review of Batman: Arkham Origins.

I consider this to be a very great origin story for the Arkham franchise. The Christmas Eve setting of Gotham is neat, showing how Batman doesn't take a holiday and shedding more light on the later sections of the game where Bruce is feeling the effects of that. The combat is very good. It is clearly where games like Spider-Man got their combat system from. I do not like the Riddler Puzzles, but those are mostly optional which I appreciate. Overall, the game was a great time for me, especially since I played it in December so it felt right.
