    The game is commendable, scoring a solid 8 out of 10, although it's somewhat lacking in side quest variety, and the controls leave something to be desired. 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

The way they combined open-world traversal and crime fighting with the engaging story missions is absolutely top-notch. Gotham is beautifully rendered and I enjoyed every moment moving around the city, trying to take in all the painstakingly crafted details and awesome lighting. As opposed to Arkham Knight, I actually enjoyed combat a lot more this time around. While a lot of people prefer the (in my opinion) overly complex fighting mechanics of Arkham Knight and its predecessors, I felt right at home brawling in Gotham Knights. Cut-scenes are also well executed, including character animations and dialogue. All in all, a well-rounded experience and a great game which, despite the usually demanding ray-tracing, performed excellently on my RTX 3080! Definitely one of my new all-time favorites.… Expand

    Je ne comprends pas le bad buzz autour de ce jeu . Je viens de le terminer et c'est du pur plaisir (notamment les combats). L'histoire est entrainante et l'ensemble n'est pas du tout ennuyeux comme d'autres mondes ouverts. Bref j'ai adoré et j'ai hâte de reprendre l'histoire avec un nouveau personnage.

    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.

    Good game. Give the game a try and see it for yourself. The game does have performance / optimization issues that do detract from overall experience but they are not deal breakers in my opinion. At the state the game is now 7 out of 10 would be fair rating in my opinion but I give the game 8 because I truly enjoy it.

There is a lot to like about it. Graphics are nice, there is a lot to do in the game, each character has its strengths and weaknesses. I like the game so much that I ended up getting Deluxe version. My advise is to get the game. I got it from Epic Games Store at deep discount. Steam and EGS have 2 hour return policy so there is not risk. If you do not like it ,just return it.… Expand

    Honestly speaking, the developers should be ashamed of themselves for releasing such a bad game after the Masterpiece that is Arkham knight.

    Es gibt nämlich nur 8 Story Kapitel und nicht viel Nebenzeug, wir haben auch die Secure, Motorbike und Jump Aktivitäten gemacht, falls ich etwas vergessen habe, auch das haben wir gemacht. Richtig dämlich ist, dass man immer so 2-3 Kopf-Symbole auf der Map hat, die einem gegenseitig die "Wächter-Herausforderung" überschreiben... hätte man auch über den jeweiligen Charakternamen im Reiter Herausforderungen laufen lassen können, dann würde es mehr zu tun geben, anstatt, dass man immer zurück in den Glockenturm muss oder ausversehen eine andere Wächter Herausforderung annimmt und wieder von vorne anfangen darf!

    Die Dialoge sind cringe af, so richtig schlecht, also das sind Z-Sprecher und die Charaktere acten wie nach dem Motto "Ich mach das hier zum ersten Mal!" Die Szene mit den Schurken hingegen sind echt gut, aber alles in der Bathöhle und im Glockenturm ist ein absolutes Cringefestival und echt zum Fremdschämen :S

    7/10 -> Es hat mir echt Spaß gemacht, das Gameplay ist nämlich wirklich super, die Fähigkeiten mit 1, 2, 3, 4 drücken und sie jeweils gedrückt halten für eine zweite ist eine gut durchdachte Umsetzung!
    Von den Mapaktivitäten würde ich jeweils immer nur empfehlen die weißen zu machen und alle anderen zu ignorieren, da man die für die Storymissionen sowieso machen muss, sonst macht man die, startet dann die nächste Story Mission und darf genau die selbe Art der Aktivitäten nochmal machen.

    Sorry, aber das Game ist definitiv keine 60 € wert, für mich ist es höchstens 30 € wert, da es wirklich kurz ist und nicht viel bietet, ehrlicherweise ist es wahrscheinlich 40 €, war ja schon eine Menge Arbeit, aber ich würde trotzdem nciht mehr als 30 € zahlen, muss man ja auch mit sich selbst vereinbaren können!    … Expand

    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.

    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 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

    performance is not where it needs to be, however I subjectively would consider this game a 10/10, and once it's performance is fixed I think it'll for sure be a 10/10 objectively as well.

    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.
