Of all the Batman: Arkham games, I was most curious about revisiting Origins as I originally had rather poor experience with the game due to its numerous bugs on release, yet despite that remembered enjoying the game nonetheless. Developed by WB Games Montréal, the title was clearly designed to be a filler entry in the series to bring WB more cash before Arkham Knight can be released. And it has since been often ignored in the overall Batman: Arkham re-releases structure (along with the Arkham Origins Blackgate sidescrolling spin-off which wasn’t good). To the point where the upcoming Gotham Knights title from the same studio, despite clearly looking like a continuation of the side character stories from Batman: Arkham series, is marketed as a completely standalone title.
And it’s all a shame because Arkham Origins is almost a very good game. And I wish I could like it more than I do.
