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.
Though it was dubbed the Deluxe Edition, its inclusions of extra costumes, a small graphical upgrade from the Vita version, and an increase in enemy encounters, can't help distinguish Blackgate from its handheld roots. Blackgate is an entertaining title that links well with where the overarching Arkham Origins story was going -- it's just a shame that the titles handheld origins weren't improved upon.
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.
