    Cuando un desarrollador saca una secuela de un juego, muchas veces lo tachan de continuista o que parece un DLC.

    I see what it could be with more love and at least a year of serious coding and optimization. And that makes it even worse. Because I must say, this is a piece of sad **** and they know it. They knew that this game was not ready to be published. This would be a good game when they published it like "Early Access" but as a full price "Our game is so good" game? Hell no. Don't buy it.

    Woke agenda must be illegal, what is this trash?!
    A batman game without batman says it all, stupid idea stupid performance really bad job with this one. Disgusting and real games should ban developers like this, we need to see such developers go extinct there's no place for their evil agendas in fun and games. 30 fps 21 on bike unbelievable spit to the face for every DC fan.

    Very enjoyable Batman game!

    For those who think the combat isn’t as hard hitting as the Arkham games, remember to upgrade your gear after every patrol: the game throws loads of new blueprints, materials and mods at you. That’ll keep you punching hard. Do the Knighthood challenges early to unlock unique traversal modes, they’re fun and make getting around the city easier.

    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

    It's ok. I'll first list the things I didn't like and partially annoyed me, afterwards the good things of the game. First of, its looks aren't as good as the could be. Secondly, Gotham seems desolate and the collectables aren't any fun to collect. The game is indeed pretty repetitive and combat techniques aren't as impressive as the ones in other games like this.

Secondly, Gotham seems desolate and the collectables aren't any fun to collect. The game is indeed pretty repetitive and combat techniques aren't as impressive as the ones in other games like this. 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.

    The game is really an 8 but I bumped it up to a 10 just because of the completely disingenuous 0's and 1's the game is getting from people that haven't even played the game. Now lets get into how much I enjoyed this game..

Now lets get into how much I enjoyed this game..

    The story is greatly thought out and very interesting though it may not be perfect and has some weaker moments. The main characters we have here have charm and all have different personalities and feelings and struggles. The graphics are pretty great and the game may run at 30 but honestly it doesn't take that long until you get used to it.

    And lastly the gameplay, the strongest part of the game and the game that has the most potential, the gameplay is extremely good and all the characters play differently and are all fleshed out. I don't understand the hate for the gameplay here, its truly very good and satisfying when using all your momentum abilities, hacking electronics or beating down foes with Barbara, using your piercing bullets from a range and being a brawler with Red Hood, using his acrobatic skills to his advantage and bouncing from enemy to enemy with Nightwing, playing stealthy, using your staff to strike enemies fluidly and teleporting from enemy to enemy with Robin. It's all so good!

    Some key issues I have with the game however is levels can sometimes be tedious to get through as the level design isn't very well thought out and honestly very average. Some story missions feel very lazy and half assed forcing you to do some crimes and just slapping a cutscene at the end of it. The gear system can monotonous as you constantly have to create new gear when leveling up and swapping your current gear with gear that just does more damage and so on and so forth. Some enemies are just very annoying and tedious to get through as some higher tier enemies or the talons for example will continuously dodge your attacks. And a final complaint would be the fact that sometimes you may have to grind to do certain missions or you'll find that enemies/bosses will be health sponges and it can get very annoying.

    But overall, we have a very solid game here and I would recommend it to anyone, the core of the game has lots of potential for a sequel with the main issue being that the game is just rough around the edges in a lot of aspects, but again with the main core mechanics, story and characters being overall very good. 8/10    … Expand

    Terribly designed game. It gets so many basics wrong, and opts for the most frustrating game design. The game gates story missions behind grindy fodder content, clearly designed for a live service game that was changed into a co-op one-off action adventure game late into development. The poor performance of this game across platform does not help matters.

    Una decepción. Soy fanático de los Arkham y del universo Batman y este juego es un insulto a lo creado en los tres anteriores. Repetitivo, simplón y sin carisma. Coge lo mejor de la saga Arkham, los combates y la exploración, y lo hace aburrido, monótono y repetitivo. Dejé el juego a mitad y lo vendí.

    I though the pacing was very slow, running is slow, combat is slow, the motorcycle is kinda slow and janky and you have to unlock the gliding hability. This seems to me like a trick to make the game last longer. Story is fine. AI ia not very smart. The chapters structure doesn't seem to make that much sense to me, but it's not really a problem. visuals are not really next gen.

    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.
