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

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

    Pure trash, this feels like a mobile game. Not sure if this is done by the same developers but Arkham series was way better. Even the first game Arkham Asylum looked and ran better.

    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.

    Honestly speaking, the developers should be ashamed of themselves for releasing such a bad game after the Masterpiece that is Arkham knight. Arkham knight not only beats this lousy & cheaply made game in every department but also manages to look like a modern game still. Gotham knights looks like it was made by a bunch of amateur college students in a garage in 2010 but even that's givingHonestly speaking, the developers should be ashamed of themselves for releasing such a bad game after the Masterpiece that is Arkham knight.

    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)

    Im trying to think of how to summarize this game in the quickest way possible. So here we go.

    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.    Im trying to think of how to summarize this game in the quickest way possible.

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.    … Expand

    I'm not going to talk about how terrible this project is, but what pissed me off the most was the lack of any Russian localization in the game. no matter how good the project is, but such a bestial attitude towards Russian-speaking players is lousy

    My PC:
    Ryzen 7 3700x
    3080Ti
    32gb ram 3600mhz
    I averaged like 40-50 FPS at max settings.
    The games story is very uninspired, cringey and cliche.
    The gameplay is akin to Marvel's Avengers which is not a compliment.
    All of the dialogue sounds like it was written by an "edgy teenager" which is really an out of touch boomer.

    Enjoying the game but apparently, this game only runs on a BATCOMPUTER. The framerate is all over the place.

    This game is not for everyone, it's for people with dead parents and inherited lots of money.

    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. Jason Todd's hoodie is too excited to be here, as its laces stand erect, presumably in search of Onsen or a functional patch.    … Expand

    Palavras não bastam para expressar o quanto eu fiquei insatisfeito com esse jogo, em resumo está cheio de bugs, quedas de FPS, travamentos e fechamentos aleatórios, não recomendo a ninguém a compra, o jogo se encontra em um estado inacabado, os desenvolvedores precisam concertar-lo o quanto antes.

    Уже который раз серия этой игры выходит с плохим портом и оптимизацией ?! Сколько можно?
    Управление на ПК деревянное - приходится нажимать по несколько раз чтобы двигаться после сканирования и многое другое. Разочаровывает.
    Так же нет смысла от крафта, ибо всё равно враги ложяться что с обычным оружием и вещами, что с прокаченным. Бред в общем.    Уже который раз серия этой игры выходит с плохим портом и оптимизацией ?! Сколько можно?

    Gotham Knights is one of those games where if someone says it's good you can automatically tell they have bad taste.

    Performance issues aside, this is a below average, bad game. The developers cut corners on so many things and it only highlights how great the Arkham games are. The city feels lifeless and plain compared to Arkham Knight's. The Batcycle is atrocious. Collisions with    Gotham Knights is one of those games where if someone says it's good you can automatically tell they have bad taste.

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.    … Expand

    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.

    This game just... exist. It's not terrible or something but it's souless, shallow, corporate product that noone gives any heart or warm on it. Everything here is just worse and waterdown version of Arkham series with unnecessary looter-shooter garbage. Definitely one of the biggest disappointment this year.

    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.

    Nudna jak flaki z olejem. Początek super aż się jarasz. Pierwsza walka, no dobra gram na medium. Potem długo długo nic. Wychodzisz na miasto o mam motur, strasznie drewniany. I tak jeszcze jakieś pół godziny. Nie wydawało ci się ta gra jest smętna strasznie. Porób porządek na dysku, lepsza zabawa.

    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.
