a decent outing for Bats.

Though Arkham Origins is bigger than its predecessor and that it borrows a large chunk from Arkham City, there are a few things to check out with Origins. For starters, this game is based within the first 2 years of Bruce Wayne donning the cowl. The game starts out with a bounty put on to Batman's head by mod boss Black Mask for one night only on christmas eve. As with all the Arkham games the story is well written and plays out to its conclusion well. but aside from the story the gameplay and the large map are basically revamped and tweaked versions previously seen in City with little to no new elements added into the mix. There are a few bugs as well but nothing that is game breaking and in most part are very minor and will not impede the story progression. All in all, the game is decent and well worth picking up just for the story but if you are new to the Arkham games, I'd suggest checking Asylum and/or City first before delving into Origins.
