Batman Arkham Origins
Nach dem 2. Durchlauf für mich dieses Spieles - Dieses mal auf der Xbox statt Steam - hab ich nochmal einen frischen Eindruck des Games bekommen. Hab auch soweit alles erledigen können im Spiel (außer die Enigma Sachen) und hatte meinen Spaß damit. Batman Arkham Origins spielt praktisch vor den Ereignissen von Batman Arkham Asylum. Man ist wieder in Gotham unterwegs und muss den Bösen auf die Finger hauen. Der Hauptgegner für Batman ist hier Black Mask - welcher sonst nicht mehr im Batman Arkham Universum aufgetaucht ist bis dato und deswegen dem ganzen einen kleinen Schliff gibt. Allerdings nicht nur... später stellt sich heraus, dass hinter Black Mask noch jemand anderes Verbirgt und dieser ein Kopfgeld geboten hat auf Batman und dieses wollen die anderen Bösewichte sich natürlich schnappen. Somit beginnt an einem Weihnachtsabend ein abwechslungsreiches Game mit vielen coolen Bösewichten und ein Gotham das zum Erkunden einlädt. Lieder hakt es ein wenig bei dem Game an der Balance, da manche Kämpfe echt unfair gestaltet sind und man nicht nur ein paar mal auf die Fresse bekommt. Wäre das besser, gäbe es hier 5 Sterne aber so nur 4,5 trotzdem sehr zu empfehlen!!!

Pros
+Open world mechanics like Arkham City but takes place in Gotham
+Similar leveling system as the other Arkham games
+Sidequests occur randomly even during main story missions quite frequently
+DLC Cold Cold Heart is short but sweet
+Boss Battles are some of the best in the series
Cons
-Tons of glitches such as going through floors, getting stuck, certain openable routes/doors not opening unless you reload save point ,etc
-Annoying "Ozzy" error that occurs at times (in my experience, it only occurred in the DLC) but this is a common complaint among PC version users
-Not much variety in sidequests like Arkham City

Review
I enjoyed it.
Never got too many data packs
Didn't touch too many of the side quests but enjoyed the story. Would be interested in a PlayStation 4 Remaster if the price was right.
