Batman: Arkham Origins is the third game in the Arkham series, but the story of it takes place before the first two games. It has an amazing story. It's Christmas Eve, and in one night, Batman learns that eight assassins have been hired to kill him for 50 million dollars, among those assassins, there are familiar faces like Bane and Deathstroke. After learning that assassins are coming after him, he learns who the Joker is. This game adds a few new things that weren't in previous Arkham games, such as the Shock Gloves that electrify anything batman touches, if he wants them to. The combat system was improved even more for this game, making it way easier to block and counter attacks, but Arkham Origins also has a lot more people with guns, so it teaches you how to use stealth, because you'll need it for this game. The past two Arkham games you could just rush in and take everyone out, but in Origins, if you rush out, you'll be sprayed by bullets from every direction. Again, the main storyline gameplay gives you about 8 hours of playing time, but side missions and riddles will keep you playing for a good while. I would give this game an overall 10/10 because this game is amazing, I would still take Arkham City over it anyday, but it's pretty close. I would suggest this game to anyone looking to get into the arkham series because this one is probably the easiest, and it's the first chronologically, so it really eases you into the series.
