“IT IS A SIN THAT THIS GAME DOESN'T GET RECOGNISED! Roger Craig Smith is such an amazing Batman in this and in the VR exclusive Arkham Shadow anyway this is an earlier angrier Batman who still goes into a fighting stance…”
“Just More Lore To The Arkham Universe , Although it aint rocksteady who developed it , the game feels the same , and thats good , overall a good game play this before playing the arkham trilogy”
“Completed on the Steam Deck. Another great Arkham game that doesn't get the attention it deserves. I had a great time looking back to the beginning of each of Batman's villains. I especially loved the work they did with…”

“Arkham Origins stands out among the four mainline Arkham games for its Christmas asthetic, strong boss fights, and very good characterization of Batman, Alfred, and the villains. I appreciate the mysteries it throws in…”
“Определенно одна из вайбовых частей серии которая нам привнесла прикольный режим детектива, историю станоления всей истории бетмена с джокером и клевым дополнением про фриза, поиграл не без удовольствия, и считаю ее…”
“Suprisingly one a good game through all Arkham's series, feels like a different artwork / style but it's work for me, and cold cold heart DLC it's a must”

“Way too many bugs throughout this game, I found myself having to restart from checkpoints, verifying files etc way to often to just simply get not even half way through the campaign. I am playing it on hard and…”

“Total disaster The clunky controls already should be a warning. However, it gets far worse. You have to travel a lot, and that becomes totally boring very soon. And even if you still want to play this garbage, you might…”
“When "Batman: Arkham Origins" was released back in 2013, overall opinions on it were apparently mixed. It turned out that the game was mostly a retread of Arkham City, reusing most of the mechanics introduced in that…”
“Honestly not that bad of a game story wise. Combat takes a dip in quality compared to asylum and city tho.”

“I dont know much about DC so when I started playing the Batman series starting with Asylum, I was very confused with some of the villains and parts of the story. Now there are many variation of Batman origins out there…”

“Game play is really good. Not super ideal for keyboard and mouse but better than most games from a similar time. Really love the story attached to the arkham franchise and this is a great one to start on.”
“Both overhated and overrated. There's a lot to like about this game, excellent boss fights (best in the series), great voice acting and writing and a decent story. But in recent years there has been a swarm of people…”

“its not as good as city or asylum frankly, the map in this game is horrendous and also, the story is rushed nearing the end, otherwise great game 7.5/10”
“A trash game that portrays Batman like a violent gang, objectifies women, shows no respect for them, and belittles them. The perspective of the creative director and the development team is disgusting.”

“A nice upgrade from the previous games though this is the first series of Arkham in chronological order. You get a bunch of villains like Dr. Penguin, Shiva, Black Mask, Mad Hatter, Deadshot, etc. The fight against Deathstroke is one of the best parts. Batman gets pulled into…”
