Didn't jump into this on day one like the previous one but glad to see that it looks like a solid game so thx for doing this video guys as I'll definitely get into it. Was curious with it being a new studio & prequel if it was going to be similar to the rest at being a fun ride.

Maybe it's because I've been spoiled by next-gen videos for a while, but this game looks super muddy to me.

This seems totally fine, and I thought the boss fight and the detective scene looked really cool.

I can't get into these games because of how goofy batman and most comic book stuff tends to be. I would probably enjoy the game more if it was generic ninjaman instead of Mr. Grimdork.

More power to you though if that doesn't bother you. It seems like a solid game series.

Multiplayer looks like a lot of fun, I might have picked this game up if I could.

This doesn't seem nearly as bad as some of the reviews made it seem. I get that it's the same mechanics, probably the same engine and likely overall the same style of the previous games, but it's weird how people have so castigated this game for doing what its predecessors did.

I'm obviously very much on time with this quote, but this is the first Arkham game I played in the series and I thought it was amazing. Really, really good. I played a bit of Arkham City after and thought it was good, but I liked Origins a bit better.

Seems to me like whichever order you play them in matters for how you like them. The people who reviewed this game almost always played the previous two games as well. If you're new to the series, this game is amazing and none of the reviews can sum up how the game will be for you.

That's what I found anyway.
