    Gotham Knights did an outstanding job at making me really feel like I was a vigilante protecting the city, the immersion level is Gotham Knights greatest achievement.

    While it’s not without some mild downsides, Gotham Knights is an outstanding title that deserves a space in any Batman fan’s game collection, especially if you want to see his protogés get some deserved spotlight for a change.

    Overall Gotham Knights is a fantastic single-player game and an even better coop experience. Fans of the Arkham series will be right at home and inexperienced players will pick the gameplay up with very little difficulty. Beautiful skyscapes, brutal combos, and unreal levels of customizability put Gotham Knights right up there with some of the best Comic Book Video Games.

    Living in the shadow of something greater is a recurring theme with Gotham Knights. Like its motley cast of heroes, the game sometimes struggles to live up to the expectations set upon it. None of Gotham’s heroes were ever going to be just like Batman, and Gotham Knights was never going to be just like Rocksteady’s Arkham games. Once I could accept that, I could see the game for what it is: a multiplayer superhero game with a creative narrative that plays it safe with gameplay, sometimes to its detriment.

    An adventure that ends up being quite dull compared to the stakes involved. Relying on the (old) Creed formula, the title remains pleasant in hand and doubly pleasant in co-op.

    Gotham City might never have looked better, but Gotham Knights’ gameplay repetition and lack of length to the main narrative might deter all but the most hardcore Batman fans. Co-op adds a fun layer to all the crime fighting, and every character feels truly different from one another, even if the combat system takes some getting used to. Overall, there is a solid core here that hopefully can be built on in the future.

    Gotham Knights takes the concept of inconsequential open world busywork to a ludicrous extreme, exquisitely culminating years of creative laziness in the genre. Nothing can adequately convey how monotonous, how unimaginative, how fucking banal this thing is. It manages to be offensive in its structural mediocrity, and that’s before we consider its enervative combat, inadequate controls, and threadbare world. Wearing the flayed skin of a live service and managing to be worse than any one of them, this sorry mockery of the Arkham series will rightly be forgotten in a year’s time - sooner if we’re lucky.

    Incredible game!

    Absolutely amazed at how well crafted the open world and story is for the game. There’s so much incredible lore and detail a DC fan will love. The combat is very well crafted alone or in coop, especially if you learn the timed attacks and combos. It had incredible expectations coming out of the Arkham series and it exceeds it but it is important to look at it not as an Arkham style game but it’s own franchise.    … Expand

    People are exaggerating. The game is good. Some like to grind destiny, me it gotham knigh. The gameplay is fun and diverse between charactersPeople are exaggerating. The game is good. Some like to grind destiny, me it gotham knigh. The gameplay is fun and diverse between characters and story mission are impressive. The best part is that you really immersed yourself in this world by taking down criminal and interrogating them to know about an upcoming crime and stop it before it happen just to escape the police afterwards. It refreshing. Sure, there are some short coming for performances but it barely noticeable if you get use to it.… Expand

All the knights feel distinct and have their own playstyle. I liked the customization and the fact that the cutscenes and villain interactions have character-specific dialogue. Combat is fun if you take time to learn how it works. Do NOT expect arkham-style combat because you are not going to have a good time with this if you try to force that combat onto this game. The open world looks amazing and makes for a great setting.… Expand

    Compared to the Arkham series, significantly more boring. A lot of things are the same, but everything feels worse.
    The characters are flat and uninteresting, and the gameplay was better in Batman.

    Not that I wanted to dislike this game, but it just feels so weak in comparison to other games of its nature. While not living up to what Rocksteady crafted 13 years ago and not adapting on it, Gotham Knights is a joyless experience and a performance mess. What a waste of your $60+ or $70+ depending on your choice of platform.    … Expand

This was one of the most anticipated games of the year, however it doesn't live up to live up to the previous batman game series, which still remains as the legendary game titles ever made. Its a shame the devs have horribly damage the image of this critically acclaimed series and even batman himself would turn over his grave to deal some serious damage to the devs making this game a huge disgrace to the once beloved acclaimed batman series.… Expand
