The combat was very familiar from the latest Batman and Spiderman video games, and I had a blast crafting and collecting suits. The copious amount of dialogue between the main characters made them feel three dimensional people. Leveling was simple and concise.

    Again, getting lost in all the things to do, mysteries to solve and characters to meet was my favorite part.    … Expand

    Me ha encantado este juego. Es todo lo que pedía para Spiderman y aquí se me ha concedido. Nightwing es el hombre más sexy de todos los juego que he jugado.

    Once you accept it's not an Arkham-style game it's very fun. The main story is not as good as side cases but I didn't care as much cause it's so fun going out on patrol. Beating up gangs and finding new suit and weapon upgrades keeps you engaged. Maybe if the 4-player, Heroic Assault mode was available at launch, the reception would be more positive but I guess the devs were not ready.Once you accept it's not an Arkham-style game it's very fun.

    You all know the praise don't knock it till you have tried it. That is a great saying for this game everyone is giving it a zero just because of 30 fps, but if it were to have more then graphics would not be as good. It also has a pretty cool story and fun combat. This game I would recommend if you are looking for a fun game to play.

    I let critical reviews put me off for a long time and only recently got it on sale, game is actually pretty good and I’m surprised with the negativity. Maybe with the patches to date it’s improved things, but even so there’s a lot of great things that would have been in the game from release day that we’re sold short.

Character selection is perfect and you get to try out everyone's style and what works for you, as the player. After playing this it really didn't deserve the backlash it got for locking it at 30fps but I sure hope they put out an update at 60fps. Advertise the update and attract players back to really experience Gotham Knights like it deserves to be played. We could see a comeback here if they invest in that update.....fingers crossed!… Expand

    More then decent game now after the latest update the game runs great still has some mem. leaks prob after a while but way way better then it was at launch at least.
    Gameplay its not bad (even if not on par with Arkham Knights) also the visuals are great .
    Not a top game but still a 7.7/10 fun to play the city looks great in 4K with RT ON.

    I didn't want to buy it because of the reviews until the price dropped at the end of the year and I bought it. The truth is that I am enjoying it and the story seems very good. The graphics are not a disaster, they are good but obviously not like other games. I would give it a 10 but because of some little things about the gameplay I give this an 8.

Arkham gamekhez képest nagyon más a harcrendszere nekem batman harcrendszer jobban tetszik. A boss fightot jobban élvezem mint az arkham gamekbe. Nekem nem tűnt fel hogy 30fps a game. PS5 jól van optimizálva. 1 bug volt az se volt vészes.

    Very fun game, people complain about refresh rate and buggy. I have played through the game 3 times and countless hours of side quests and very rarely ran into a bug. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but tot game is fun and most gripes are about refresh rate not actual game play.

    Gotham is beautiful, dark and full of life (mostly criminals). The main story is a typical Gotham story but without its usual protagonist, the Batman, who's been allegedly killed. The 4 new protagonists, however, let us experience what it means to be a protector in Gotham now that the dark knight is gone.

    The characters have a huge range of customisation and development, including skills and special abilities. Combat abilities vary from close to range abilities, with a couple of fun twists here and there, all unique to the individual characters.

    The navigation through the city also varies from character to character, although everyone can use the batcycle.

    Overall it's a very fun and engaging experience, which I highly recommend.    … Expand

I’m not massively into Batman so felt all the positive reviews were just fans sticking up for the game however I ended up buying this game on back Friday for £30 which I think is fair.

    I’d like to feel like the Batcycle has a bit more to it. It feels almost pedestrian whilst riding. The combat was slated in reviews but I have no issue with it. Do I think this is Game of the Year? No. Do I think this is a fun, chilled game that I can dib in and out of? Yes. Not yet tried co-op but heard good things from a friend.    … Expand

    The game is actually quite fun. It doesn't get a 10 cause obviously it doesn't deserve it but it's a solid 8/10 for me. Some things feel like a chore, eg trying to complete the same quests for all characters but if you don't like them you can just skip it. At the end you will find the character /playstyle you prefer and stick with that.

    Performance is 30 fps. I am mostly a pc gamer so 60 is what I want. However, with the patches it has received, it is stable 30 and maybe it's the VRR that helps but looks super smooth.
    Don't spend 70-80€ or $ for it but on a sale if you find it 40 and lower it will be worth it.    … 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.
