Although this opinion may not be popular, i'm tempted to consider arkham origins the best one of the trilogy.

The gameplay is obviously similar to the previous titles, but it added some changes i really liked. First, i think it's graphically better, it has a darker atmosphere, nice physx and lighting effects and, at least on my rig, it runs smoother than City. A lot are complaining about the bugs, but so far i had to restart the game only once, unlike city, where i had to restart it twice.

However, what i appreciated the most is the inspiration taken from Nolan's trilogy. Origins depicts a younger batman, a batman filled with anger that shows some pretty brute manners. I think that only origins portrays batman for what he should be: fear, a detterent against criminals, and you'll fell this from the first scenes. Plus, this time, the military Nolan's style suit is just sweet. Never liked the comic ones. It's a pity they didn't add a way to repair it visiting the batcave, considering that we'll come back there several times during the game.

Bought it for 16€, and i'm not regretting it. If it's your first batman, this may be the one for you, it has no backstory and you won't need the previous titles to understand what's going on.

8.4/10 + it's batman
