The gameplay got a bit more basic and same with leveling and unlocking. This is still more enjoyable than Marvels Avengers in which that game is a grind fest and in that many of the cosmetic suits are locked behind a paywall. This game isn't going to live up to the Arkham Series as that game is overall a better experience but I think they kept many of the core features that made the Arkham Series great and I hope this game gets DLC to expand on their universe. The disappointing things in the game was one the frame rate lock but that's not a make or break the game for me and I haven't ran into the game breaking bugs that others experienced, second wished it was 4 player coop still but hey still has coop not bad but a let down but in general I feel that this game has promise and should be supported by only those that enjoy these types of games.… Expand

    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.

    I’m in love with the game. It’s has its glitches, very few but they do happen, but the crimes all over the city and 4 playable characters with single or coop is what the Batman games always needed and never got. The different costumes and enemy types keep me busy and the story and the rpg elements are a nice touch. Looking forward to wants in store for DLC!

    After spending 50+ hours in this game, I can safely say the critics are wrong about this one. It is very similar to Marvels Spiderman games, mixed with elements of Destiny. Combat is a blast and Gotham is so much fun to navigate around. The story is great too.

    Choppy and not as beautifully sculpted as some aspects of the “other series” But the story wasn’t lazy. The dialogue was good. The fan-service was top notch from the data logs for the actual Easter eggs. Combat can get dull after a bit (if you’re wanting to beeline the story missions and button mash) but the game offers so many options whether it be the character choice or the 8+ abilities you get for each. You can alter the method in which you encounter enemies. You can cheese the game, or be meticulous and see the hard work the development team put into the animations and feedback. The combat in my opinion, though similar to spider man minus the floaty maneuvers, is fun in its own right. It’s flashy, has some decent variety in enemy types and crimes, and just has not gotten boring for me. The story is interesting. It’s engaging, it feels decently rooted in the city you run around in. A city I’m aiming to 100% just like Spider-Man. It’s a comic book game, don’t get me wrong, but it wears this on its sleeve and still manages to at least touch on the multi-dimensional layers a human can have. The game knows it’s gritty, nonsensical, and flashy. The characters even know this. The suits and color ways are absolutely mint to go through and wear out on the town. I mainly main Red-Hood but can be quite honest when I’ve found myself losing time with the other characters and their options. It’s steeped in variety and gives incentive to actually wear the new gear you craft or catch (unlike Avengers/Marvel’s Numbers) I’m still randomly swapping out suits for either elemental reasons, critical chance reasons, or style; often the game aligns all three of these at once in a suit for me. I’m in love.

    Is it worth it for 70$?? I don’t think most games are without a decent amount of support for the game given after launch. As for right now, without the optimization rolled out, gauntlet mode released, or possible DLCs mentioned, I’d only recommend this game for about $45-$55 range. I think the developers should definitely reap the rewards of their efforts but I, like most, worry about my own financial/enjoyment situation more than I do being persuasive. It’s a fun game. More fun if you love the characters. Story holds onto you, world is just flashy and interesting enough to keep you, combat feels very open to many styles. Worth it for me!! 81/100    … Expand

    I’m sick of all the whingy cringe, cry babies carrying on about a game they haven’t played because of “30 FPS” or that have played it comparing it to the Arkham series. Do I get a few frame rate drops? Yes but I also got them in elden ring and we all know how that game was received.

Absolutely but so does every single game that’s come out since internet patches were a thing. It is not an Arkham game and stop comparing it to it. “Oh but it’s the same studio” yeah but not the same team… do the same barista make your coffee at every franchise? Exactly, quit it.

    The combat is fluid, the bike controls like a dream (albeit a little slower that you’d expect…) the story is good, character development is good, character design is good, world building is good, everything about the game is good. This game isn’t a masterpiece, sure but it definitely does not deserve the hate it’s been receiving. Gamers need to quit it with jumping on hate bandwagons for stupid reasons.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played the entire game with my brother, and I absolutely loved it until the ending. Either don't revive batman or let him STAY alive, the way they did it just makes you so disappointed. FPS kinda sucks but it's mostly fine. The gameplay is great and I've seen many reviews on YouTube that say the gameplay repetitive but it's not. The city was made well but there aren't very enticing incentives for exploring it. Also the Nighthood suits (the best suits in the game) being only transmogs was disappointing too as colorways can't be applied to transmogs, not to mention that they dont have cowl, symbol, glove, or shoe options. The same goes for the **** suits that are locked behind DLC. The stealth is very well done and the combat system using momentum bars works very well. Also the skills unlocked via the ability trees neither make you seem too overpowered, nor do they seem meaningless. btw fire whoever designed Jason Todd's hoodie strings… 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.
