More of that perfect Arkham Batman series you have come to love. Here's hoping that Rocksteady can continue to put out great superhero ... oh, well, maybe the next one will be great.

Super chill game experience and fun for all ages. But here's the important note here, the game is super accessible to even kids with no experience playing video games. Most of the experience is single stick moving a hole around with a thumbstick. This was really the first game my son played on his own without getting bored or frustrated. The humor was just his speed and the art is very colorful. I am going to be on the look out for more games my son can play without needing assistance but this one already gave him the confidence to try again or solve puzzles when he is stuck.

Some annoying aspects for sure, but overall an amazing game and one of the best using the Star Wars franchise in a long, long time.

Truly amazing game compilation. I really hope that Atari 50 succeeds and inspires a bunch of similar types of high quality museum experience game compilations.

Best Massive Multiplayer Free to Play FPS ever made.

Best 2 button game I've ever played.

I had a great time so far with Fenix Rage. It has a very Super Meat Boy feel to the controls which is great. But what makes the game really fun is the clever level design.

I appreciate the instant restarts. When a game is a brutal as this one is sometimes then I really want to get back in the action right away. But don't get me wrong, the levels are well crafted making you think about how to approach a series of obstacles either through trail and error or pausing for a moment to mentally traverse the level planning an optimal route.

The first couple levels show the game mechanics in a rather uninspired way. But you won't stay bored for long, the game almost immediately starts challenging your skills and focus. New mechanics are introduced regularly and continue to ramp the difficulty of the game nicely.

The inclusion of extra mini-games is welcome as well. It nice they thought about rewarding players with more than just achievements for completing the games extra challenges. They might be just short distractions, but much better than nothing.

Overall if you like challenging platformers I recommend you pick this one up. I doubt you will be disappointed.

If you have not played the previous two Batman Arkham games then do not miss them especially Asylum. Many complained of Arkham City's not reaching the same heights as Asylum. But City didn't not fall so far from that high bar as Origins. The real fault is the level design.

This game fails routinely on two design fronts. Ideas from the previous two games are frankly ripped off and reused which is fine, but often these mechanics such as riddler puzzles are misused. Even worse is during story missions the player is expected to find is own way quite often leaded to getting stuck. For a wide audience all skill level game, getting stuck is unforgivable.

Finally, they managed to mess up the combat system. Its still really solid, but lacks the sense of fairness seen in the previous two games. Only players competing with their friends on the challenge leaderboards will really have a problem with this. Overall, I say pass on this one unless you are a huge fan of the series so far. Then jump right in and be underwhelmed with the rest of us I guess. :P

Old school platforming with a creepy hand animated theme. Great game to compete with your friends doing speed runs.

Beautiful game with a very original mechanic where your interactions with the world create the music track for the game. Please support this great indie team to make more games like this.
