Gotham Knights

The heroes here may not be as awesome as Batman himself, but they all make a good replacement for him. Gotham Knights is an enjoyable superhero video game that shares what we would get from the Batman Arkham Games. Well it's not as good as these games since some of the story in it gets predictable with the one character we know would be the true antagonist. But that wouldn't keep this from being worth something different from the previous DC superhero games with awesome graphics that matches the setting of the game, neat gameplay that would keep the players appealed with the side missions, pretty cool power ups from both suits and gadgets, and great instances where we see development from each knight we would play as. I'm pretty sure Batman fans will enjoy this one. But I would mostly recommend those that are familiar with Batman's sidekicks. Maybe some will be introduced to them once they play the game, so this would probably make their good first experience getting to know them. Like the Gotham Knights themselves, this game does have a lot to learn, but it accomplishes as the Batman family.

This game is so much better then some of these reviews claim. If you're a fan of the Arkham series you will love this game. Yes the combat is different, and it takes a second to get used too but when you do the game is a blast to play. The boss battles are long and challenging, instead of beating the "boss" in 3 minutes you have to work to drain the health bar. You will fail, but eventually you'll figure it out. The level up system is something to work for, increasing your damage and abilities, making fights easier as you progress. Beautiful graphics on the Series X, can't wait for some DLC to do some new case files with some new iconic villains!

I'm just gonna come out and say it the court of owls didn't need to be in this game they don't feel important to the plot I don't want to be disrespectful but you have the Batman license you would think they would do everything in their power to give us an amazing story but it sadly is just a very mediocre story and let's talk about the lack of villains really Batman has the best villains in comic book history and yet their aren't that much it's sadly very clear that this game was supposed to be a live service game and don't mean to disrespect WB montreal was not up to the task should have just made them make a sequel to Arkham origins.

Incredible graphics and decent stories. The combat is fluid and in 3rd person where melee should be. Gotham is amazing. The voice actors are perfect. People: WHY are special abilities activated with R1 on a controller? Switch it to R2. Otherwise I'll have to cut off a third of my thumb. Momentum related attacks are super hard to execute fast for all the wrong reasons. Holding R1 with your index finger and pressing buttons with your thumb is incredibly frustrating. The speed and precision needed for normal play is impossible to achieve. Furthermore, I open the bar computer because I'm furiously moving my thumb too close to the main pad/switch on a PS5 controller. Does ergonomics mean anything to you?

Decent game with a decent enough story that I enjoyed learning and playing until the story was done. After that, it got repetitive and the suit level up options just stopped and left me wanting.

The big issues I had besides repetitive gameplay and suit options, the voice actors didn't really match up well especially Alfred who sounds like a creeper who will harvest your organs. The other big issue, the sign of the times we live in. This is where the game has to affirm a small percent of the game players with who they think they are whether it is the rainbow flag in the Belfry or saying they really need to go to the pride parade. These are pointless additions to the game and only serve to show themselves woke.

I will probably never purchase another DC game again for all the reasons above.
