Gotham Knights Reviews

No amount of bug fixes can fix this game. Even playing with friends can't make it fun. On a scale of 1-10 I'd rate it "poo".

I purchased gotham knights for console originally and out of nowhere had like 80 hours invested. i then decided to purchase on PC in order to mod it. very easy to mod, also this is a dream batman game with 40 plus mods on it. wish they made the game how i've tailored it recently but i also geuninly love the gameplay loop. idk it just works for me and its endless gameplay. i love the idea of going into gotham every night to stop crimes. and thematically it makes sense because gotham crime never stops for real. apparently theyre making a sequel and im hyper for that. the game also really works best when you turn off the hud elements and the enemy damage numbers/health bars. combat is satisfying if you know how to play. the game asks you to time your attacks, dodges, and special abilities. its all about timing and rythym of your fight which can turn into a dance when you face off against the league of shadows and other enemies. when this first came out i never thoguht i would enjoy this game as much as i do. zero microtransactions (im aware they where probably removed during the delay because of avengers doing poorly) only problem i have with this game is the connectivity. im always getting kicked by the server when trying to co-op the story and its not my connection or my PC. i also removed all mods and the server still cant keep me online and that blows so hard since i cant find out the issue. if your into modding and you like batman this is a BUY BUY BUY since you can literally make it an even better game. if you arent into modding and want to try this game. get it on concole game pass or ps plus because the online play will be more consistant for you should you choose to play with friends.

much better thank kill the justice league and very over hated this is how you do a batman game without batman right

feels... empty. dialogue and story are pretty basic and i feel like they weren't cared for. super cool that they told a story about [spoiler]the court of owls[/spoiler] but nothing felt... fleshed out, not even combat, gliding or team interactions. graphics are great! but... that's about it.

So lets start this and keep it brief. Story is good, I will assume you get different dialogue with different characters as you play and the gameplay was okay. Drawbacks are that it feels like the game really tries pushing you to get the equivalent of super effective pokemon moves by making enemies tanky until you use the correct elemental effect with your weapon. Did I enjoy the game? Yes. Did I get it on sale? also yes (its not worth full price imo). Admittedly I preferred the Arkham games style of fighting, felt smoother and the enemies didn't level up. Anywayyyyy, fun game for the story, I can't be bothered to do the showdowns (levelled up bossfights) or the story as a different character, take that as you want. Also... cutscenes look great and thats everything I had to say about this game.

You will always have haters and lovers of something...If you are not pedantic about it not being an arkham game, you may love it. It plays alot different to Arkham games but if you are a fan of Batman in general, you may end up liking this different take on the open world. What makes it unique is an interesting way to solve mysteries, although not difficult, still gets you to think and observe over clues found...nice detective mechanics. The fighting mechanics of this games is nothing to right home about but is still rather fun. I would score this game a 7/10

This could have been a decent single player game if it weren't for the money-grubbing investors and visionless evil people who have no knowledge of video games. This game type deserve to be in the Arkham Asylum. Along with the moneyhungry corporate assholes.

This game is the game that made me not to believe game reviews anymore. I don't know what's so bad about it. It's fun. Sure it ain't batman arkham, but it does not need to be. It's not even part of the series. The combat gets better the more you play and upgrade your skills. And the story is intriguing. The daily crime is fun. Sure it'll become repetitive to a point, but what game doesn't? Buy the game if you're a DC or bat family fan. And also buy and try it out if you're not someone that plays a game based on game reviews. Try it out and make up your own opinion.

Just 100% this game and lemme tell you, its not as bad as people make it out to be. It's not the best game nor the worst game but it is enjoyable. Unfortunately, I can confidently say that this game was the definition of wasted potential, with the lack of content and empty open world, Gotham Knights struggles to keep me engaged at all times. However, I did have more fun than not while playing this game, the story, while not the greatest was easily the best part about this game and was my main driving point while playing. The characters are very well written and overall, I would love to see a sequel to this story.

First game I've ever refunded. I usually don't completely dislike a game, trying to find at least some amount of fun. This game is just bad. I wanted to like this game, but the clunky controls and the floating combat just leave a very sad taste in the mouth. Which brings us to the main issue. It's not "fun" to play. The most fundamental thing any game should get right is the gameplay. No amount of skins, costumes or prettiness will be a enough to make up for straight up boring game mechanics. I won't be unfair and compare it the Arkham games or anything, if companies just copy-pasted what works over and over, the industry would just become stale. Video games are an artistic medium and innovation is necessary for them to grow and succeed. It's cool that they wanted to do something different, I suppose. Just a shame how poorly everything was executed. Which just makes it that much more sadder :(
