Batman: Arkham Origins (2013 Video Game)
7/10
Not so good as it could be

This game series has been very good to this point. When earlier parts were made by Rocksteady Studios nearly everything was near perfect. This one is made by another studio, WB Montreal because Rocksteady wanted to concentrate to the next part, Arkham Knight instead of this so called "interlude". This game was the first (and latest to date) game made by WB Montreal and that maybe explains some of the weaknesses in game. Arkham Origins is place in few years before the first part Arham Asylum, before Batman met Gordon and Joker. Batman meets many previously unknown villains from earlier games and learns from them. The plot is the best in this, I would give it an 8. Technical presentation is the weakest part, maybe 6. There is many bugs and little graphical weaknesses. As the game tries to be very alike earlier games there is changes in looks of the characters (of course some of them is necessary because they are younger) and environment; some of them are good and some bad. For example Joker is better looking but Bruce Wayne is not. Anyway this story is necessary to tell and its well told. In the bottom line there's a lot which could made better but for good story its playable.
