Batman: Arkham Origins was always going to have a tough road ahead of it. Not only did it have to compete with Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman Arkham City – two of the best games ever made – it had to quash fears from the fan base.When news emerged that RockSteady, the British studio behind the first two Arkham title wasn’t developing Origins, there were murmurings that new studio, WB Montreal wouldn’t be up to the task.
It’s perhaps for this very reason the new studio hasn’t taken all that many risks with Batman: Arkham Origins. The game looks and plays very much like its predecessor and very little of the core gameplay has been tinkered with.Like Arkham City, Batman Arkham Origins puts players in the boots of the Dark Knight and gives them the dark, Gothic city of Gotham to move about in. Like Arkham City, Gotham is draped in snow and the only people on the streets are clutches of villains who are ignoring a citywide emergency curfew.
Combat is still a one-button-attack although players can deploy quick-fire gadgets and they have to watch out for incoming attacks from enemies. It’s generally sublime, although occasionally player agency feels a little off and fight animations can be a bit hard to read. This is problematic since so much of one’s success in a fight depends on timing.The developers have also tossed a couple of new foes into the mix; there’s a martial artist who is able to counter attacks and a giant enforcer, which the player needs to daze with a cape flick before administering a beat down.
Aside from the fisticuffs and puzzle solving, players will also spend some time in Predator rooms; these are rooms filled with gun-toting enemies capable of dispatching Batman with a couple of shots, so it’s wise to stay in the shadows and only attack enemies when they’re isolated.(There one more thing here that I want to tell you,this game has a really annoying bug)
Here's the good news: It's an enjoyable game. The action is basic, and the boss fights are more of the quick-time button stabs we're used to seeing, but you should have a good time. Delivering sweet justice feels great, Batfriends, and swiping the touchscreen to reveal intelligence on Batman's foes makes next-level crimefighting seem like a compelling career choice. Safer Gothams together, right?
For all its problems, Batman: Arkham Origins coasts on the underlying quality of its engine and its ideas and concepts, and is addictive from that standpoint; as irritated as I was by the execution of the main campaign mode, I found myself lingering in the Challenge maps and pondering over Enigma puzzles longer than I'd care to admit to. But Arkham Asylum and Arkham Origins don't need revivals, and Arkham Origins hardly benefits from the comparison. The new game barely strikes out on its own, and on the few occasions it does the results are not encouraging.Overall this game would deserves a score 7 out of 10.So what do you guys think, do you already take your blanket and make it as a cape, ready to save the world from crime and walk around in the city of Arkham with a fancy suit.Why don't you share your thoughts on the comment section down below.
