Like the 3DS version that came before it, this game is full of great ideas that are poorly executed, making for a disappointing experience overall. Almost everything has been left exactly the same, and the changes that have been made only provide cosmetic alterations rather than much needed enhancements. It’s not entirely fair to say that this game is worse than the 3DS version, but it’s certainly just as underwhelming.
With tighter, arcade-style combat, a more interesting environment, and less time-wasting tedium in the exploration sections, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate could have been an entertaining Metroidvania game. As it is, it's a wholly middling experience. It's not a bad way to spend a few afternoons, but it's almost entirely forgettable. Whether on a handheld or in this new console iteration, the game is easy to skip and difficult to love.
Quizás, dado lo altísimo del listón en sobremesa, esperábamos mucho más del salto de Arkham a las portátiles, y habrá quien encuentre Blackgate como una entrega que no está a la altura de lo que se espera de algo que lleva Arkham en el título, pero como videojuego en sí cumple con su objetivo básico de entretener.
