Pretty good honestly. Nothing over the top, amazing or extra about it. So don't expect Forzo Horizon 4. But it's definitely a fun open world, arcade racer. Deluxe edition was cheaper than reggie game. I'd say it's worth it even if it is a couple bucks more just to have the EVO to start with. I haven't even looked at other cars since driving those. You get two of them for whatever reason; both with different wraps, rims, etc but same exact stats.

GOTY 2012!

Early Access Review (in progress)
This was the first game I ever bought from Early Access and it was worth every penny even in it's unfinished state.
While polish and adjustments are still being made as it stands now it's already better than almost any other golf game I have played. Couple that with an amazing course editor and we just might have the best golf game ever created.

This review is incomplete as the game is still incomplete and I don't want to take anything away from it with negatives that will more than likely get fixed as the development process continues till release. As it stands right now there isn't much in the way of features or modes other than the course creator and being able to play against other players ghosts (I find this feature annoying and usually always turn it off).

I would like to see more graphics-type updates and/or options. Some sort of career and more custimization of your character would be nice too. Other than these (minor) gripes I think it's great. It seems like every time I boot up the game there has been an update. These folks are not messing around and seem to really want to deliver the best product possible. I can't wait to see how the final product turns out.

I really really love this game.
Before I say anything I will say there are some bugs. Nothing that has been game breaking for me but others will tell you that there are some nasty bugs and glitches.

They have done some 'tweeking' with Arkham Origins that has changed the timing of counters or critical hits. That will have you swinging at air a bit more than in AC. There have been times where I think to myself, "that was cheap" but I have been playing AC lately too (I'm on a Batman junk out) and find there are things in that that also kinda irk me. I think they have done something with the flying/gliding that seem to make it more responsive or just plain easier. Either way I am better at gliding in Origins. As far as the gadgets go it's pretty much a wash. Except for the remote claw which is overpowered but still hilarious just to sling two foes into each other. Instead of a freeze grenade you have a glue grenade. They do exactly the same things, literally.

As far as multiplayer goes I can't comment on that. I'm not a big fan of online multiplayer.

Overall, I like Origins a little bit more than City. Whether it's because it's newer and the graphics are nicer (that DX11 snow is wicked), the city seems more fleshed out and brighter, the story having more villains, less Nolan North or the fact that Batman isn't wearing his underwear on the outside (yet).

At the end of the day I would give this game a 8.5/10. Without really bringing anything completely new to the table I can't give it a much higher score. It's still definitely a must play for comic and Batman fans.

Absolutely fantastic game! Though not without it's faults which are only minor gripes. It's still an amazing experience. Batman Arkham games' combat with the open world and narrative of the Grand Theft Auto series. Be sure to grab the hi-res texture pack too.

One of the best stealth games I have ever played. The story is fantastic and the artwork is amazing. Suitable for just about anyone's play-style. Whether you want to just go in hacking and slashing or would rather sneak past every guard. Just a really smooth and enjoyable game. Personally, I love sneaking around, remaining unseen and still killing all of the guards. I recommend it at any price.

This is still my favorite game on Steam. A lot of games have given me loads of play time and enjoyment but this is still my favorite!
