Batman: Arkham Origins (2013 Video Game)
good game, but falls short when compared to predecessors.

arkham origins is overall a good game, but the ones who are playing it after completing the previous batman titles are in for a disappointment. sure, the graphics are great, they always have been, and the characters are also very strong and feel very real, but the campaign is kind of poor based and quite predictable.the city is bigger than in the previous title, but there is very less you can do in it(there aren't even citizens present, only thugs roaming the streets.)and the side missions are painfully similar to arkham city.the missions are nowhere as terrifying and insidious as the previous titles.you won't feel like going back to it after completing it.

now for the good part, it's a great place to start if you haven't played the previous titles, the combat is pretty much the same as before which is good, stealth is pretty satisfying, but sometimes too easy, gadgets are infinitely fun, villains are challenging.

so at the end of the day, it's a pretty good game, but not nearly as fun as it's predecessors. arkham city portrayed a spooky place, hinting that scarecrow was there, poison ivy's building, finding calender man, etc, but arkham origin's free roam is a bit boring.
