Gotham Knights

Overall, Gotham Knights plays very well on the PC, once you figure your Steam settings. Playing as the Knights instead of Batman is a change for this style of game based in Gotham.

Gotham Knights is a thrilling DC action-RPG that works equally well in single-player and co-op, and all four heroes are worth playing. Missions are exciting, combat works perfectly, and the story is well-written and compelling — especially the Belfry character moments. Nevertheless, it falls into the all-too-common open-world game trap of having a big, vibrant map but not enough to do in it.

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 a game that offers what you would expect from it, especially in terms of atmosphere, but it is still a bit light in terms of content. Fortunately, the combat system is solid, and the open world offers an alternative to a recipe we've been fed for a long time. Riding through the streets on a motorcycle or in the air before beating up criminals with class has its charm, and you almost never get bored. It's very beautiful, if not fluid on consoles, and there's a healthy dose of variety in the activities and characters. So you have a good time with this Batman without Batman game, especially in co-op.

Is Gotham Knights good? Yes, our opinion is yes. The main difference with the Arkham saga is that this Gotham Knights is not an action adventure game that you'll get through in 12-15 hours and go for another one, but an action RPG that you'll spend hours playing, where the character development is slow. There are some good things, and others to improve, and the visuals are not in par with what PS5 and Series X can do, but overall, and especially if you're a Batsy fan, it's a game that will hook you if you accept that it's not about Batman, but about his absence.
