10 Video Game Series Where The Least Popular Entry Is One of My Favorites

Batman: Arkham Origins – Batman Arkham Series

It’s pretty rare to see someone talk about Arkham Origins in a positive light, and while that sentiment is largely understandable considering how amazing the rest of the games are – that’s not really fair to Origins either. I’d argue that Origins often gets misunderstood by fans, and that it deserves to be put on an equal pedestal as Arkham City or Asylum.

Arkham Origins tells a markedly more grounded story revolving around Batman’s early years, and that has an irrefutable charm to it. Furthermore, the gameplay remains as fun as ever – and you also get a sizable roster of villains to work through. Deathstroke is particularly a highlight of the experience, thanks to its well-designed boss fight and arena. And if you wish to see more of Mr. Freeze, there’s always the delightful DLC that you can check out as well.
