    Gotham Knights is up there with Elden Ring as a Game of the Year contender. Its fast, responsive, and action-packed combat is surpassed only by a narrative that had me glued from the very first cutscene. A must-play for fans of open-world titles, and an easy pickup for anyone invested with the Gotham Knights or DC Universe.

    There's a lot to love about Gotham Knights, especially when fighting or traversing the city, but a few hiccups do hold it back.

    Gotham Knights succeeds in bringing an action-packed but also extremely sentimental story that explores different characters' reactions to grief and the impact of missing a symbol such as Batman. However, several missed opportunities keep the game from the "unforgettable" title, although it can be considered almost mandatory for Batman fans.

    We had placed a lot of hope in this Gotham Knights. The adventure was pleasant but too imperfect, interesting but not legendary enough; especially for a license around the Dark Knight, even without him in the title role. Too bad then. It is therefore high time for him to come back, and in the most beautiful way.

    The outer layers of Gotham Knights present quite well and will keep you entertained for hours, but there’s something rotting at the core that holds the game back from ever being anything great.

    Gotham Knights is one of those games with a lot of potential that is spoiled by a bunch of questionable game design choices. Without being fundamentally bad, Gotham Knights leaves us with the sensation of an abandoned service game that could have been promising if it was assumed. A game fun to play in cooperation that will remain in the shadow of Batman Arkham.

    Gotham Knights is a lacklustre entry into the Batman mythos that feels like a major step back from what has come before. Whether it's the monotonous combat, subpar 30fps on console, lack of co-op incentives and strain it puts on the single-player experience or the fact that Gotham is dull and slow to explore, nothing justifies its existence. While its story might offer the occasional glimpse of something that could have been, it gives me no great pleasure in saying that Gotham Knights is my biggest disappointment of the year.

If you enjoy the Batman mythos (as everyone should), you will enjoy this game. If you expect this to be an award winning Rocksteady like Arkham game, you will be immensely disappointed. Go in with low expectations, grab a friend, have fun, and you'll enjoy this like you would watching a bad movie in a theater with friends. I know it's not a Games as a Service game, but with the right DLC this game could significantly improve, so here's hoping!… Expand
