Just Finished: Batman: Arkham Origins (PS+ Premium)
Strangely, this is my first time playing an Arkham game even though I am a big Batman fan. I know this is the third game in the series and has the worst reputation but I decided to start here since it is chronologically first and is the only Arkham game that does not have a native PS4 version. Origins was a decent experience. The presentation and original story are mostly well done. This open world version of Gotham City is pretty limited and not that fun to get around. I realize the Arkham games had a huge influence on Insomniac's Spider-Man games but I played those first and those are more fun because of Spider-Man's powers and is not quite such a dark and dour affair like Batman. Some of the mechanics and controls are clunky. The combat system has it upsides but also feels like a button masher at times. It took me a reasonable amount of time to complete the story. I don't feel invested enough to 100% the game and complete all the side missions though. Points off for being a buggy mess at time, forcing me to restart the game. I have the other three Arkham games on PS4 and will play through them some time in the future. You either die a hero...
