You liked a game but weren't interested in the sequels?

yeah AA was a damn decent game. I argue it was probably a linear metroidvania as you could explore but if you follow the objectives you will eventually circle back to previous areas and complete them as needed.

What i liked about AC was that it seemed like a natural progression up from AA. We had the advantage of a lot more varied areas/scenary and we get to see more of batman's villains in play. Some people say that perhaps some rogues only got a small part when they deserved more. Like clay face being the final boss is a massive cop out and we see other minor characters make cameos when they could have been a more significant time. Arkahm knight just took it too far with it. I mean who the hell is black friar? Dr Pyg only makes a small role and raz al ghul/ league of assassins has an even smaller part that its embarassing.

You remember the specifics way better than I do. I have flashes but its probably mixed up in my head with Arkham Origins which I also played about the same amount. I remember I liked the combat and that the city looked great, but that I got a bit annoyed with the side stuff feeling repetitive after a bit and thats about it lol.

yeah arkham origins wasn't great. ok but nothing compared to the other arkham games. I found it rather uninspiring and a wasted opportunity. Partly because the story picks up at the start of batman's career so we're stuck with second tier villains and characters that haven't fully fleshed out. Besides the snow mechanics, the rest of the visuals weren't all that great. The city especially was small and drab. if that was Gotham city it was a real disappointment.

never played the multiplayer as i got the game late. Apparently it was ok, but meh. more insulting was when the Devs were informed of game breaking bugs that needed fixing and instead told everyone they weren't going to fix it was making DLC was their priority:

So yeah, not a particulary good look. But its WB so its partly expected.
