In 2011 Rocksteady released Batman:Arkham City a sequel to the hit Batman Arkham Asylum that was a surprise among gamers and among Warner Bros. There had never been a good Batman before than and Warner Bros had just had a hit among gamers. And boy were they gonna cash in. Unfortunately Rocksteady fell silent and did not create a sequel to Arkham Asylum. However Warner Bros moved the project to their Montreal studio. Is it the game fans have always been asking for? This one adds a portable version and a multiplayer mode. Let's find out.
Batman Arkham Origins:
Probably the best compliment that has been given by critics for Arkham Origins is that nothing has changed. WB Games Montreal has had a field day invigorating the franchise but with few innovations and surprises so there would be no negative reception. The plot is somewhat generic as Gamespot said and is pretty predictable but beating up bad guys is as fun as ever including the edition of the new multiplayer mode and detective mode features. Many critics loved Arkham Origins. It doesn't have Rocksteady's footsteps anymore but is a solid edition for the franchise.
Overall get this game if you want it. If you are on the fence you might want to wait till Black Friday or something like that if you are trying to save money for a new console.
Batman Arkham Origins:Blackgate
This game despite being somewhat of a port is not your average Batman. It's made in a 2.5D MetriodVania style sort of way and is a disappointment from critics. It has a 67 on Metacritic and has gotten a 6\10 from GameInformer. Critics said it falls apart and gets worse as it goes and worst of all it has nothing to call it's own. While it may not be a bad game it's certainly something you do not need to shell 50+ dollars for.
Batman Arkham Origins and Batman Arkham Origins:Blackgate is rated T.
