In it, the player will have access to a new, exciting campaign in the New World, improved gameplay and balance, as well as new, unusual mechanics for each of the eight commanders who lead the four races (2 commanders per race).

According to the plot, the forces of Chaos that invaded millennia ago forced the great magicians from the race high elves create a giant magical swirl. It was supposed to draw out the Winds of Magic forever and thereby force the demonic army to return back to their realm. And now, after thousands of years, the vortex began to lose its stability, putting the world at risk of destruction.

In addition to new unusual mechanics, units, schools of magic and other aspects, the game will have the opportunity to participate in a unique campaign, on a combined map of two Games Total War: Warhammer, which will connect the Old and New Worlds.

The game is set several years before the infamous riot. Batman is just starting his career as a secret crime fighter, he is young and inexperienced, and he has yet to become the Dark Knight we know...Batman: Arkham Origins- Cold, Cold Heart is the second expansion for Batman: Arkham Origins. This time, Batman will have to fight Mr. Freeze, who wants to freeze the entire Gotham City, and turn the "bat" itself into an ice statue.

The GothCorp opening ceremony was slowly going on, Mr. Boyle was giving a congratulatory speech, when suddenly the building was invaded by a gang led by Mr. Freeze, who demands that they bring Ferris Boyle. Batman contacts Alfred to find out where Ferris is, but he doesn't answer. Unable to open the door, one of the criminals hit us with the butt of a weapon. Bruce turns his head to the left, Alfred needs help too.

We press Counterstrike, the enemy was eliminated. Three more ran up, we will also neutralize them. We go to the door, which is on the left. We meet Vicki Vale, she asks us about what happened in the ballroom, but our hero is cold-blooded, he did not give an answer. Turns out Ferris didn't show up for the interview, Wayne told Vicki that Alfred would look after her.

We move straight, we find ourselves in the library. Here we begin to act in stealth mode. The first thug approached the far opposite exhibit, we cut it down. We sneak quietly, we see two more, we use a double decisive blow. It's too early to leave the library and run, because another one has entered. We are waiting for him to go up the stairs. Quietly, not lagging behind, we pursue him, the enemy is cut down.

We go into the wine cellar, use stealth mode. Below are five opponents. We eliminate them. Open the door, interact with the statue. A secret door has opened, we go there, we get into a secret tunnel. We jump with a running start, move along the ledges on the right side. we get up and move on. We return to our cave, run to the right, then up and up the stairs again, we find the costume storage room. Wayne has doubts about the readiness of the EU Suit, so he chooses the normal one.

We head towards the training base, use the elevator. The door is closed, you need electricity, we approach the generator, we charge it. We run forward, we can’t reach the cave with our feet, so we fly, if we don’t have time to fly, we press F. We return to the wine cellar, it is engulfed in fire. Left ventilation, go to it. One criminal stands with his back to us, we use a decisive blow. Now that we have shock gloves, the enemy can be destroyed much faster. Having understood, we rise to the second floor. There is no way to get to the library in the usual way, we use the ventilation located on the right side. We use the batclaw, then we go up the stairs. Bandits have taken Vicki Vale and Alfred hostage. Covertly eliminate enemies.

First shots cold, cold heart suspiciously reminiscent of one of the episodes of the movie "Batman and Robin" by Joel Schumacher. Mr. Freeze bursts into a reception at Wayne Manor without an invitation: half of the guests immediately turn into frozen statues, the other half scatter in a panic. Bruce Wayne, as a hospitable host, must again reincarnate as Batman, restore order and punish those responsible. In a word, everything is as always.

To last year's Arkham Origins there was an ideological apathy that new developers did not hesitate to demonstrate at any opportunity. Studio Warner Bros. Montreal, which took over from Rocksteady Studios, was scared to death of changing the formula of the Arkham series in any way. Because of this new game about the Dark Knight was more like a bloated DLC to Batman: Arkham City . The addition of Cold, Cold Heart could dilute the gameplay of the original with at least some innovations - if Warner Bros. again not afraid of cardinal changes.

Admittedly, the new DLC is trying its best to give the appearance of Big Change. Bandits have joined the set of opponents, who use a freezing beam in battle. A significant part of the supplement takes place in extreme cold conditions, which The Dark Knight can survive only in a special suit. Huge icicles and ice walls can be used to silently eliminate opponents. On this fantasy Warner Bros. dried up, not really dispersed.

In practice, all these additions do not have a significant effect on gaming experience Cold, cold heart. New enemies bring little variety to the battles, and the heat-resistant suit, by and large, only changes the appearance of the Dark Knight and opens the way to previously inaccessible locations. Two relatively fresh tricks in the protagonist's arsenal are also too few to make Arkham Origins sparkle with new colors.

For two hours of Cold, Cold Heart, you will once again walk through the Arkham Origins entertainment program. Street fights with a couple of dozen criminals, less noisy elimination of others, simple "investigations" at the crime scene, a short flight over Gotham and a mandatory boss fight. By the way, the fight with Mr. Freeze strongly resembles the meeting with him in Batman: Arkham City. Continuous deja vu is your main punishment in Cold, Cold Heart.

As paradoxical as it may sound, Cold, Cold Heart is still the main justification for buying the Season Pass for the game. Compared and a set of alternative costumes the new story chapter of Arkham Origins looks like a real gift. But Cold, Cold Heart only looks good in a number of other DLCs for last game about Batman. If you went through Arkham Origins with pleasure and never blundered, then Cold, Cold Heart will help you kill a couple of hours and brighten up the wait Batman: Arkham Knight by Rocksteady Studios. Otherwise, it is better to pass by - it is not only cold here, but also boring.

Other achievements

Master Wayne
Play as Bruce Wayne without taking damage
At the very beginning of the game, we are given the opportunity to play for Bruce, you just need to press the counterattack in time if you did not have time to click on right button mice and take damage hit the wall just download the latest checkpoint and try not to cheat. If you did everything right, then when you get the costume, the achievement will pop up on your screen)

Snowball fight
Freeze 3 enemies with one attack
Most easy way to get this achievement, just dodge the attacks of the enemies with the cryo gun at the exit of Wayne Manor.

The revolution won't pass
Neutralize the Anarky Bandits in Gotham South
Everything is simple here, find the bandits (marked on the map), put everyone down and do what is required of you. Personally, I had a problem with the last task (it was necessary to find and defuse the bomb), I flew all the time on a signal to a building with a large blue bottle with the inscription "Soder Cola" but could not see the bomb, only then it dawned on me that the bomb was on the roof of this buildings, you can get there without diving.

Stalactite Tactician
Neutralize 2 enemies with a stalactite
In my opinion, the easiest achievement throughout the city and in all locations can be found stalactites, you can combo (so that the bandits are probably off)
pull two bandits with a controlled claw, then throw off the stalactite on them. If the bandits are disconnected, then the achievement is yours, but if you didn’t succeed, this is not a reason to despair, it will work out next time)

cold head
Perform 3 decisive moves from behind an ice wall
Can be done only after receiving the EU suit.In the GothCorp building (the wall is found only there ( The achievement cannot be completed after completing the main story.))

ATTENTION!

On many forums it is written that achievements such as: The ice has broken and The revolution won't pass, cannot be obtained after completing the main story (they write that you need to complete everything before entering the GotCorp building in a thermal suit).

These are just words from the forums that I Can't confirm or deny, as he did everything as it appeared and opportunities. Just try to get it done as early as possible (I'm talking about frozen civilians, protesters, etc.)
