    Don't buy this. This game runs at 30fps barely, gameplay is awful, characters and voice acting is bad, story was the only thing acceptable in this game, if you're a big batman fan and Gotham in general, this game is a big trap for a bad experience.

    You know, Gotham Knights isn't so bad if it's approached without being tied to previous Batman games. But this doesn't mean that there are no complaints about the game. Trust me, I have a lot of them!

    This game is fantastic, I love the story, graphics and game play. It's not like the Arkham games which I also love, it's different but not worse. It requires a lot more reading, there's a lot more to it and the game doesn't make it easy to just jump in and play, there's definitely a learning curve. Once you understand all the many categories and tabs of information it's a very engaging experience.

    The previous chapters had a very funny combat system. Why change it? This game is boring, if you played the various Batman before. Tried but immediately returned to Steam.

    I played it hoping it'd be better than on release but this is the sort of bad game that can't be fixed with patches. Clunky fighting, boring dialogue and dreadful enemies. Boss fights are the worst part with them being pure damage sponges. Avoid at all costs

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Il mio voto nella seconda recensione di Gotham Knights corrisponde ad Appena Sufficiente. Il DLC delle torri è brutto ripetitivo i piani uguali al loro fine è da Gravemente insufficiente non c'è neanche un piano diverso sempre la stessa da A a B. Complessivamente è appena sufficiente mi dispiace questo è la maestra della ripetitività. Erano meglio Mad Max e Batman Arkham che si dimostrano superiori e divertenti almeno i due giochi hanno in comune che i veicoli sono utili qui la moto non è necessaria non c'è motivo di quest' sulla moto troppo accessorio per gli spostamenti.… Expand

    Gioco mediocre, noiosissimo che sembrava una demo, missioni ripetitive fino al esaurimento nervoso, brutti i contenuti aggiuntivi e narrazione fallimentare. Finale brutto. È un fallimento questo gioco. Spero che il Rinvio di Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League abbia fatto cosa giusta rinviarlo.

    Em português: Vale comprar apenas em promoções 60/70% de desconto, porém é divertido , principalmente jogando com um amigo. Não é essa porcaria que estão falando por aí. Porradaria divertida, gráfico bonito mesmo com 30FPS. Numa boa promoção , vale muito a pena.

    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.

    gotham is beautiful to see, the graphics are nice, but the city is a little too empty, the game is too repetitive, it is appreciated, even if I would have expected more. the walk of the characters is too woody.

    ⚠️  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

    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

I am comfortably ranging between 60 and 120fps with native 4K and Ray Tracing on...using a 4080 and even with my previous 3080 I would generally hit 60 with no RT at 1440p.

    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.

    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.
