    It's very ingenious to add Denuvo to a game that lacks some kind of optimization. The graphics are almost the same as in Batman Arkham Knight, only cartoon. Probably the developers are sitting and thinking: Our game has terrible optimization. What'll we do? Let's add Denuvo there and kill the optimization completely, yes you are a genius, sir!

    7 years later, they manage to make a game run AND look worse than its predecessor at the same time. Don't waste money on this piece of garbage and just play or replay Arkham Knight instead

    I don't believe that the studio was involved in this project rocksteady . If they told me that this game was created by some kind of pissed ubisoft, then I would believe it. Do not play this game and do not give money for it. those publications that rated the game above 70 are bribed.This means that these publications can no longer be trusted and their opinion is worth no more than one cent.

    on top of all this, they integrate Denuvo, to be honest its not even worth pirating, they should have built upon Arkham Knight like prequel or anything else as it doesnt matter for batman games because they are not that connected as a series.

    i wish RockSteady continued working on this series instead of these noobs

    This is a janky, poorly designed mess of a game that makes Marvel's Avengers look pristine by comparison.

    Characters struggle to get around Gotham using a traversal system that feels new but lesser than Arkham's. They stop moving when caught on doorways or corners. The time trials also exacerbate its poor traversal gameplay by causing players to lose unfairly. The combat is serviceable.

I legitimately have fun pounding criminals to the point of unconsciousness, but when they try to escape, the game yet again forces me into its incredibly poor traversal system.

    The graphics look good in my opinion, but the game is still plagued with frequent framerate dips at the time of writing. True to being a current-gen game, it also makes good use of my SSD; it doesn't take longer than 6 seconds to load nearly anything.

    Please save yourself the trouble and wait for a sale and multiple patches. Better yet, just don't buy it. The aggravation this game will inevitably cause you is not worth $60.

    Unoptimized mess promoting the "woke" agenda.

    What could have been a good game is, once more, overshadowed by poor optimization, clunky controls, grindy missions, and an unhealthy dose of "wokeness". There is no true Full-screen mode. No matter the settings, the game fluctuates heavily between 20 and 140 FPS. I'd rather it's a stable 30 than getting a headache from these sudden
    Unoptimized mess promoting the "woke" agenda.

    What could have been a good game is, once more, overshadowed by poor optimization, clunky controls, grindy missions, and an unhealthy dose of "wokeness".

    There is no true Full-screen mode. No matter the settings, the game fluctuates heavily between 20 and 140 FPS. I'd rather it's a stable 30 than getting a headache from these sudden fluctuations dipping to 20, then rising to 100 with a simple camera turn. Graphics are mediocre at best without RayTracing on. Reminds me of old PS3 games (e.g., Infamous: Second Son). If you turn RT "on" the game is a stutter-fest (RTX3080Ti, R9 5900X).

    Side missions while on patrol become a big chore after the second time. It's always the same setup of enemies and things to do. Same locations. Same tactics. Same objectives. It gets old very quick.

    Combat doesn't help either. It gets monotonous very fast. Other than the nice finishers, there is not much to comment on. It's clunky and doesn't feel fluid. It's just spam "X" until the enemy sponge dies. You even forget that you have a ranged move (range is so short it doesn't matter anyway).

    Traveling also feels like a big chore:
    - The bat-bike mechanics are out of a game released in the early 2000s. Physics are entirely off. To make the world feel "big," they tweaked the bike to go at 40Kmh, while simulating a "wind" effect around the edges of the screen so as to appear that you are going at 350Kmh. The scam is visible as you can barely overtake a bus. Getting anywhere is so sluggish and boring.
    - The hook that you grapple is hit-n-miss. You can use it on specified spots in the world which becomes very annoying when it auto-targets at a place that you are clearly not aiming at. Still, this is probably the only decent way to move around.
    - Gliding/flying is even slower than the bat-bike, which makes it a joke. It also forces your short cape to turn long, which is very ugly.
    - Navigating on foot is weird. There is no jump button and you can only move on objects that the game wants you to.

    The world is empty and dead. There are just copy-pasted versions of the same 5 NPCs sitting around, reacting to you by jumping and saying a line from a pool of 10 voice-lines.

    Customization is pure marketing. They allow you to craft suits, yet it's basically just 6 different models that simply recycle their stats each time you craft them. You have the option to change the look of some body parts (hands, boots, mask) between 3 options that are so similar you won't even notice. it's there just to promote "character customization". At least you can change colors, if you manage to unlock them before finishing the story. If you unlock the glide ability the game forces on you long capes. There is no option to change them and this has already been an issue on Reddit as people are frustrated not being able to revert it back. Many consider not even unlocking the glide ability to avoid the long cape.

    To top it off, instead of spending time polishing and serving us a finished product, they decided to spent time injecting their "woke" propaganda in the game. It has it all. "Pride" parades and rainbow flags. There are text-messages between the characters in the context of: "Omg the Pride parade is in town. We are bad people if we don't go. We are OBVIOUSLY GOING!!" Paraphilia is being promoted plenty once more. Your politics have no place in our games.

    Overall: The game needs serious patching to optimize it. If it is stable it might be worth half the asking price (~30$). Since nothing else will change (e.g., combat/driving won't change) I can't recommend this unless you get it at 20$-max in a few months if you REALLY want it. By then, it will hopefully be stable.

The city feels lifeless and plain compared to Arkham Knight's. The Batcycle is atrocious. Collisions with objects do no feel impactful and the physics don't make sense. The physics in this game make NO sense. The grappling hook always zips you across in a straight line regardless of the angle. You're basically flying like Superman. The combat is not fluid like in the Arkham games. The writing is so dull that you can tell the writers do not care about these characters. The animations for these characters is terrible. This entire game feels like it was made by amateurs. The missions are incredibly repetitive as you you're tasked with fighting goons to progress in the story. And this is all before addressing the performance issues. I will give the game credit in that the customization is great, but that's the only highlight.

    To get the good out of the way, story has got me hooked so far. Cutscenes are great and voice acting is decent.

    As for the bad: - Horribly un-optimised. Already getting random crashes and performance is terrible for a game that doesn't even look as good as the previous Batman games.

    - The controls are janky and feels like there's some sort of input delay even at or above 60 fps. - The character's movements also don't look smooth. They tend to just snap into position and lack any flow and at times will just move 90 degrees in mid-air whilst an animation plays out.

    - On that note of our characters just snapping into positions, this is especially true in the open world. You can't jump in this game. Instead there are fixed points where you can jump or grapple to which gives an option to press shift to do a jump. But I wouldn't consider this weird mechanic to be a standard jump. Excluding the ability to jump makes no sense in an open world game anyways. Seems like a design decision to save the devs the time to get this right which you would imagine shouldn't be an issue with games from today.

    - Traversal abilities to help get around the open world is gated behind repetitive missions which you need to do for EACH character.

    - The open world aesthetics is okay at best. But in comparison to the previous batman game Arkham Knight from seven years ago, fails miserably. Looks like just an ordinary city (with some specific locations that look decent) rather than Gotham City. Even with today's technologies such as ray tracing, it still doesn't compare. Even WB Montreal's Arkham Origins looks way better.

    - Combat feels really slow and this is only made worse with the point about character movement and the input delay. Maybe this will change as I play more but at the moment it doesn't feel good. Also a key seller of the Batman games was the freeflow combat with the ability to counter. That's gone here, and instead we have to dodge before we can counter. Similar to Marvel's Spider Man, except the combat in that game felt good.

    - UI looks like something from a mobile game.

    - Similarly, the various loot that gets dropped feel meaningless and is akin to something from a f2p mobile game/live-service game.

    It's not Saints Row levels of bad. There is a foundation there that can be appreciated and one that can be improved upon, but this is not a game I can recommend right now. The only reason I'll continue to play it is because of the story.

    Game has awful performance to boot. Steam reviews are mixed - this is not good. I don't even blame the developers for this. I blame the idiot executives at WB who decided to green-light this. It should have been shot down in the pitch room. Very disappointing game.

    Easily one of the worst games of 2022 (especially since God of War and Elden Ring came out this year). Everything from the graphics to UI reminds me of a poorly made 2005 superhero game. I bought on a humble sale just to play the story, and cant stomach the game more than 30 minutes at a time.

Wait for this game to either be 10$ or free on Gamepass...do not waste money on this sadly disappointing game. This review breaks my heart, because I wanted to love this game so bad.

    This game deconstructs everything the arkham franchise has built in previous games.
    Script, graphics, atmosphere, combat... Everything is inferior to previous games. (not to mention it's also terribly poorly optimized)

    Game is crashing randomly and constantly. Performance is poo even on high spec computers. Skip it for now or wait for 90% discount or something.

    Badly optimized, clunktown of an action game with ludicrously terrible acting and unengaging gameplay.

    I thought the Performance issues are the only reason why it’s getting so bad reviews.. but damn.

    I started the game with an friend and we have around 10 hours of playtime, playing this game alone would make it even worse. We hoped and hoped for it to get better but at the end, it’s a „the division“ type of game, boring grinding, poor animations, poor open world, story is hella boring, the

    All in all this game is just another marvel avengers

    Making Tim gay is a petty joke. But hey, go woke, go broke. Sick of this garbage.

    A Batman family that couldn't get out of Arkhamverse's shadow. The game design structured around Co-op shows a lack of motivation. So many problems with monotonous combat, empty Gotham city, insufficient hero abilities, optimization issues and so on. A screenshot of Gotham city from photo-mode is the only thing that comforted me.

    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.

    The main problem with Gotham Knights is not its level of quality. It's that it could have been far superior, comparable to the past titles in the series. The key ingredients for the success of the franchise are here too, but either in a limited or undermined form, by the commercial direction the title has taken towards the looter territories and indeed, the more mundane ones at that.
