It hasn’t been getting the raving reviews that its predecessors got. Some downright hated it.
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate is the latest in the excellent Arkham series, and its first handheld game. It’s also the first original game from Armature Studio since it was formed by Metroid Prime expats in 2008. Because both sides of the family tree are so distinguished – and seem so likely to make beautiful children together – my expectations were, perhaps, unrealistically lofty for Blackgate.
