    While separate from the Batman Arkham games timeline, Gotham Knights proves there is room on the block for a second AAA Batman franchise in the gaming world. The only question is, who will you choose to play as?

    Gotham Knights, orphan of the iconic figure of Batman, takes up the torch with panache. Our heroes honor the Dark Knight for an exhilarating adventure inspired by comic books. The city of Gotham, darker than ever, the technical and nervous fights, and the complementarity of the four vigilantes blow a breath of super-heroic freshness on the universe of Batman. Without being perfect with its camera flaws and sometimes redundant missions, the Warner Games title hits hard and proves that Batman is not the only hero worthy of the name in Gotham.

    Gotham Knights is an enjoyable action RPG that follows in the footsteps of the Batman: Arkham legacy while striking out on its own in a slightly different direction. It's the most realistic Gotham City we've seen yet, even though the story is only serviceable and the performance is disappointing. Still, fans of the genre and the characters should have fun with the game.

    The experience of playing Gotham Knights is dull. mediocre plot, hollow open world, equipment system in a mess, the fun of multiplayer mode is also limited. Although this game did not give me any strong negative feedback during playing, I still do not recommend players to buy it. After all, you can have many better choices at the end of this year.

    Gotham Knights, which can be described as mediocre at best, doesn't really know what it wants to be or how it would like to sell its story at any stage. No gameplay area of the new Batman game can truly shine, and as if that isn't difficult enough, the great Arkham series adds an extra burden to it. And that's what Batman died for?

    Its colourful cast of characters handles Batman’s absence well, but mismatched features and puzzling progression means it trips as much as it triumphs.

    A game that looks great on paper but has a lazy implementation, you can feel the lack of passion within the development team. Gotham Knights makes RPGs and co-ops games look bad with a clunky combat, a predictable storyline and not to mention a lot of optimization problems.

    Game is quite enjoyable on PC if you've got the hardware to play it with 80+ FPS. Combat is fine. Story is decent, pacing is a little slowerGame is quite enjoyable on PC if you've got the hardware to play it with 80+ FPS. Combat is fine. Story is decent, pacing is a little slower than some recent 3rd person hero games (aka Spiderman) but you can't compare this to Marvel Avengers or the Arkham games like for some reason many are.
    This is it's own thing and fun if you ignore the reviewers that had to review this the same time they all got their God of War Ragnarok review key and just wanted to push out something without even giving this game a chance.

    Yes it needs some optimization and yes it does require a bit of grind if you feel the need to play all four heroes at once due to the way this game required tasks to be done on each hero to unlock major skills.
    I would give it a 8. The score of 10 is to counter the unreasonable scores from people that are playing on a toaster and complain about it.    … Expand

Character variety is great for combat. Combat feels great, travel powers take less than 5 minutes to get used to, the story fits the universe and is engaging (I love the detective board and investigation content).
    Stealth play is fun and the detection system is good, though it is somewhat hampered by odd character pathing when selecting one button actions (like jumping off of ledges). Leveling feels a touch slow and costumes could use more customizations, you can only really customize the equipped items.

    Some stuttering with driving the cycle and my FPS is mid, but my pc build is pretty old now, older than the consoles with similar issues, so I won't be too critical there. Some more optimization is needed.    … Expand

As a fan of the franchise, I'm overwhelmingly satisfied with both the narrative presentation and gameplay. When compared to Batman Arkham, this game shines brilliantly; Batman's one-button combat system doesn't even come close… Expand

    For a studio which last game was Arkham Origins in 2013, it is unacceptable that this game was deliver the way it was.
    -The court of owls    For a studio which last game was Arkham Origins in 2013, it is unacceptable that this game was deliver the way it was.
    -The court of owls were not made justice. They lost the chance to develop the organization and were left almost as a side villain.
    -The combat is slow and tedious. They got rid of the counter button of the Arkham franchise and you have to roll/jump to avoid getting punched.
    -The city is beautiful BUT it barely has NPCs and cars, if feels completely empty and the batcycle goes slower than walking.
    -The traversal is awful, only batgirl has a good traversal movement.
    -The dialogue is off, there are awkward silences between takes and the script is just lazy.
    -The story is predictable. Since the first cutscene you know who is pulling the strings.
    And last, Batman/Bruce Wayne is made as a suicidal, bland character.

    Wait for a sale before you touch this game. It is not worth your hard earn money    … Expand
