Babidi123 06/24/25 3:46:42 PM #1:	Currently playing the Arkham series for the first time and loving it. Already beat Asylum and trying to get 100% in Coty (those damn Riddler trophies) and got Arkham Knight and Cyberpunk next in the queue which Im excited about. I know Originis isnt made by the original developer and its the weakest in the series but I also know it explains a lot of the backstory for the other games. <cite>Babidi123 posted [p:985551000] in Is it wort...

UnfairRepresent 06/24/25 4:21:19 PM #16:	Knight gets a lot of flack for: It's shitty state at launch Shitty Batmobile combat And the handling of the Arkham Knight portion of the story Which are all hard to defend. However everything else about the game is excellent. Whereas with Origins, almost the entire thing is bleh. Taking both games as a whole, it's way better. Knight knocks it out of the park.

archizzy 06/24/25 4:23:33 PM #17:	A solid game with good boss fights. On PlayStation it didnt seem to run quite as smooth as the Rocksteady games but was still a strong game. It got too much hate.

Murphiroth 06/24/25 4:25:03 PM #19:	Don't listen to the folks who are wrong, Knight is better than Origins. It's solid but the combat feels off in a way that's hard to describe. You can tell it was handled by a different team. Good boss fights though!
