Summary
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - Deluxe Edition amplifies the 2.5-D game with new maps, enemy encounters, difficulty levels, batsuits, and enhanced visuals. A companion game to Batman: Arkham Origins, players can continue the storyline of the console version and discover more details of the Dark Knight’s past. Featuring stealth gameplay, free-flow combat, and Batman’s famed arsenal of gadgets, the genuine Arkham experience is reproduced in a deep, action packed side-scrolling adventure.

Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate Deluxe Edition may offer a bite-sized bit of bat-ertainment for a price you don’t have to be Bruce Wayne to afford, but, unless you’re a die-hard Batman fan who has exhausted the gameplay value of the big-budget Bat titles, you would probably be better off playing them instead.
With its erratic camera, boring puzzles, and bland visual design, Blackgate is an unimpressive Metroidvania that uses the Batman universe well, but doesn’t do much to accommodate the Arkham series’ most iconic gameplay innovations work. It’s certainly passable, but you can find many Metroidvania games that fulfill their gaming ambitions much better.
In essence, this is just another cheap spin-off that delivers a depressingly compromised five hour slice of action, meaning that even Bat-fans should think twice before admitting themselves to Blackgate Prison.
