    Can't compete with the brilliance of the Arkham games in terms of story or voice acting, but this is an ok game worth picking up when it's on a deep discount.

I've been playing with a rotation of friends and the mix and match of teams of 2 have made each time feel different.

    it's funny someone bashing the game for performance (I'm not saying he's wrong, it's a waste to run at 30) when his favorite?? game will come out and it will run at 30fps but because he is a fanboy he will give it a 10... let the world be a little serious and not have 2 meters and 2 stations... the game is definitely not the best effort that has been made, just as it is not the worst.it's funny someone bashing the game for performance (I'm not saying he's wrong, it's a waste to run at 30) when his favorite?? game will come out and it will run at 30fps but because he is a fanboy he will give it a 10... let the world be a little serious and not have 2 meters and 2 stations... the game is definitely not the best effort that has been made, just as it is not the worst. it's definitely not worth the €70 it's asking for, but the performance problems can be fixed with an update. as a game and as a story it is satisfying and will not leave anyone with a bitter taste.… Expand

    GK is far more fun to play than many of the reviews might suggest. For myself it took around 20-25 hrs to complete all the story quests and max out a single character. Overall I felt the story and graphics were the strongest points. The gameplay often felt slow and imprecise with a sort of 'tacked on' RPG system at play.
    The open world looks great but the streets are extremely empty with little to do beyond the basic busywork. In many ways the open world gameplay loop reminded me of older titles like mafia 2, watch dogs and sleeping dogs only with the 'looter shooter'' mechanics added into it.

    Overall I felt the same sort of weird disconnect between the story and the open world sections was similar to Spiderman ps4. If you liked that I would say this will appeal to you. If you you can get it on a discount and have a friend with this too, it's a great multiplayer campaign experience overall.    … Expand

    This game is not nearly as bad as people will have you believe. Combat, while not Arkham, is still pretty fun and the story is really good. Customization is also pretty good. It’s definitely not a top of the line AAA game, but there’s still a lot to enjoy. Solid 7/10, definitely worth it if it’s on sale

    Game doesn’t deserve the hate it’s getting. The lack of a 60fps is a huge negative but it doesn’t take away the games highlights. The story is engaging and the adds detective elements make it stand out from games like PS4 Spider-Man and Arkham Knight. IMO I’m enjoying the game more than I did Spider-Man. Gotham has more elements and has yet to become as repetitive as Spider-Man got

    A solid showing in the "Arkham" (in "extended" universe sans Batman) Gotham City. Play the "New Guard", Batgirl, Red Hood, Nightwing - and everybody's favorite since the 60s: Robin!

Play the "New Guard", Batgirl, Red Hood, Nightwing - and everybody's favorite since the 60s: Robin! Scour a narrative-driven, open world Gotham with random (read: grindy) tasks to take Batman's baton - and hit it repeatedly over the bad guys girls and diverse underground reps committing felonies across town, all the while finding out why the heck Batman had to die by the hand of a supervillain. Go for it if a DC hardcore fan at full price, wait for a sale if a 3rd Person Open World fan with AAA branding.

    The Good:
    Graphics! Gorgeous and far-sighted views of Gotham and fluid enough on PS5 (but: not 60 fps mostly since the views are far and wide...) ... but... [see "bad"]
    Easy to traverse Gotham - ascend and descend buildings, go on patrol on your Bat Cycle etc.
    Open world - go anywhere you want, beat anyone you want over the head... live with the consequences
    Story is well-done and voiceovers are AA (not movie style, but well done)
    The "New Guard" of heroes is pretty different in skill sets and specialisations - although... [see "bad"]
    Rocksteady tried to mix it up and give you some "crime scene investigation" gameplay ... but [see "bad"]

    The bad:
    [Open Gotham...] is big! Which means a huge world to traverse and most of the time getting from A to B to do just some menial "random task" (insert: beat up bad underground mobs) - guidance is only given for the main plot + some "premediated crime" sub tasks - the rest is just grind... literally repeating the one and same sub-missions to get your favorite new DC Knight that next skill.
    [Open Gotham ct'd] - no 60 fps, leave alone more than that.
    They still couldn't manage to make Robin cool - not on them, but if you'd rather play Nightwing than Robin... 'nuff said.
    [Crime Scenes...] - they are just some screwed-on-top "point and click" style adventures - where you often will end up "just clicking stuff and combining random things" to get it over with... not well done at all, but a nice touch.

    The ugly:
    The story might not be your cup of tea, glass of beer, bottle of Kombucha. It is "new guard" / extended universe - sans Batman, sans Commissioner Gordon etc. pp.
    Does get grindy the more you get into it... in a repetitive mediocre way.
    "Stealth" gameplay in a non-stealth environment - always was, is and will always be a bad idea... badly executed and kind of gimmicky at best here.    … Expand

The last major point of criticism is that the traveling combined with the already listed desolate Gotham is pure boredom, it's again really no fun at all.

    Now, finally the things I really like and appreciate about this game. The story lies in the average but the whole backstory of every character is impressively detailed and really heartwarming for true Batman fans. Last but not least, the voice acting is above the average. The emotions are truly well delivered, especially by the main-cast.

    All in all it is a game I'd only recommend true Batman fans to play. If you're not interested in the sidecharacters around Batman andsome fun easter eggs there a many better open-world games you can play.

    ⚠️  Spoiler ⚠️ Cons: My main issue with this game had to be the fact that Gliding and using the grapple hook felt very slow, I don't know why and it just made traversing Gotham so boring. The bike you get in the game is also for some reason very slow. Most of the time while driving in a straight line it takes me awhile even to catch up to other cars. So yeah, traversal just feels very slow. Another bad thing in this game has to be the Transmog, if you don't know what Transmog is its basically an option to cover up your suit with another suit without changing the stats. My problem with this is the fact that you can't customize the transmog armors. It ruins the whole point of having a transmog option in the game. I really hope they fix this in the future but for now...I'd say the transmog is **** I am still happy they have the transmog system since there's like 2 outfits that's actually good without customization. Last bad thing has to be the grinding. If you wish to get to 20,000 + power to play the showdowns and survival in the game you have to go on New Game + since normally the level is capped at 30 which means you may get a level 40 armor. However if you go on new game + you can get to level 40 and get level 60 armor, so yeah. I did play the game twice and eventually I did the showdown I wanted too. The one I'm talking about Is the final boss. Oh that reminds me, a small complaint has to be her katanas hitbox, I've seen Souls Game bosses with better hitboxes. Anyways back to the Grinding, trying to get Legendary items is so painful and very annoying. I think I sat there grinding crimes for awhile just to get Legendary armor sets.
    -
    Pros: The Graphics are pretty nice in this game, however it just feels like it was missing something in the world. Can't really put my finger on it though. Anyways. The armor sets in the game is very nice. I am a huge fan of Batwoman and I actually managed to somewhat replicate Batwoman using Batgirl. The game may have been decent but I can't explain how thankful I am to be able to actually play as "Batwoman". I say "Batwoman" since it's just Batgirl. So yeah DC fans...calm down. Anyways, as I said. I'm just super happy that I could play as Batwoman. The best part of this game has to be the Photomode, I can't express how good it is! I can explain it though. So, the photomode includes...Weather, Filters, Poses, Lighting, Facial Expression, Colors and so much more. I absolutely love it and I may just keep the game download to take some more pictures.
    -
    Story: For the story. The opening cutscene of the game was pretty well made if I'm gonna be honest. I actually enjoyed it. Later on in the story you're able to unlock another skill tree. It's actually game changing since it gives you the ability to use a glide mechanic....which was still slow....but hey. It's better than nothing. The boss fights in this game was pretty cool  there wasn't many and I know there's another hidden in the survival mode. Oh and no Talia Al Ghul, I am not talking about you! Your boss fight sucks! The combat in the game was pretty smooth and satisfying, it wasn't perfect and I definitely prefer Batman Arkham Knights Combat instead, oh also...you can't lock onto enemies in this game, it isn't really a con for me since I got used to it. For the actual story...it was abit short but it was alright. I kinda realized how short it was after playing the game on new game plus focusing on the story. 7.5/10 not the best...but hey, Batgirl.    … Expand

    The game is not bad and serves you a lot. You want a hero? You have four. Want big missions? Usually you have about three going at once. You want side missions? You've got a city full of them. Which doesn't mean it's a great game. Just good and solid. [Issue#323]

    Not being content with being one of the most soulless products released under the Warner Bros. label, it is also extremely underwhelming from a technical point of view. Gotham Knights was originally developed as a multi-gen title, but PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions got cancelled. Despite this, the visuals underwhelm and fail to impress and manage to look worse than the last major Batman instalment released seven years prior. Capping at a mere 30fps might be excusable if this boasted the most cutting edge visuals on the market, but it manages to look cheap and dated. For a AAA production from Warner Bros., this should have been a visual tour de force, with top writing talent, and have evolved the gameplay to compete with its contemporaries. Maybe it can be salvaged over time with updates, but currently it's one of the most droll and sloppily designed triple-A products of 2022.

    Gotham Knights would be a great game, its sandbox approach to exploring Gotham is top-notch and its story keeps you just engaged enough to keep playing. The problem lies in the game’s lackluster combat and endless fighting cycles of beating up the same factions over and over and over with little to no variation to dialogue.
