About Batman™: Arkham Origins
Play as a young Batman on Christmas Eve as he battles eight deadly assassins and uncovers the origins of Gotham's most dangerous criminals in this prequel to the Arkham series. Expanded detective tools, enhanced combat, and a sprawling city to explore make this a defining chapter in the Dark Knight's early career.
Key Features:
- The Arkham Story Begins: Batman: Arkham Origins features a pivotal tale set on Christmas Eve where Batman is hunted by eight of the deadliest assassins from the DC Comics Universe. Players become an early-career Batman as he encounters for the first time many of the characters that shape his future.
- Enhanced Detective Mode: Think like Batman with an all-new Case File system that allows players to analyze seemingly impossible-to-solve crime reconstructions in real time. Combining Batman’s cowl sensors with the Batcomputer, players can digitally recreate crimes and study detailed simulation of the act as it happened.
- Gotham City will learn to fear Batman: Take back the sprawling streets of Gotham years before its transformation into Arkham City. Glide above or battle your way through new and ever more dangerous districts in the quest for justice. Prevent crimes in progress, take down gangs of violent new criminals and explore deadly new locations, from the impoverished streets to the penthouses of Gotham’s wealthy.
- Gotham’s Most Wanted: The city streets are filled with more than just Black Mask’s assassins. Locate and take down Gotham’s most violent and dangerous criminals to earn unique upgrades.
- Lethal New Enemies: Fight new foes such as the Armored Enforcer, the Martial Artist and more – each of which challenge players to approach Batman’s FreeFlow Combat scenarios in different ways. Classic FreeFlow combat is expanded with every new opponent – and with Batman’s abilities to engage them.
- New Gadgets: Utilize Batman’s signature gadgets or take advantage of powerful new additions such as the Remote Claw, the Concussion Detonator and more. Use the Remote Claw to create new routes by deploying strategic tightropes or directly attack enemies by stringing them up from vantage points. Ready the Concussion Detonator to stun and disorient groups of opponents in close combat.
- New and Familiar Characters: Experience a fresh take on iconic Batman characters including Black Mask, Penguin, Deathstroke, Bane, Deadshot, Anarky, Captain Gordon, The Joker, Copperhead, Firefly and others yet to be revealed.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players have sharply divided opinions on this Arkham game. Some consider it the best in the series and highly enjoyable, while others view it as the weakest entry that's often overlooked by fans and the publisher alike. Common complaints include the inability to change difficulty mid-game, which frustrates players who discover they chose the wrong setting after hours of progress.
the best game in the series
best game ever
The black sheep of Arkham Saga, everyone pretends it doesn’t exist , heck even WB never bundled it with other games in the series. I highly recommend starting your journey with Asylum then either City/Origins & finish it with Knight.
Can't change difficulty mid-game, which is archaic even for the time the game was published. I was 5 hours in when I realized I didn't like the difficulty I was on, and the only option was to restart, which was too much to ask, so I was out.
