Gotham Knights Reviews
That may be Gotham Knights' most egregious crime: it feels like a cutrate, cosplay version of Batman and of the Arkham series. Nothing here is original, and everything feels like it's striving -- and failing -- to emulate much, much better games. There's an argument to be made, I guess, that if you stop thinking about it as a Batman game and just judge it on its own merits, it's not half-bad -- but even if you do that, you.re still left with the reality that the game that doesn't come anywhere near matching up to what the genre is capable of. This is a mediocre game through and through, and Batman branding or no, it's not really worth your time.
Gotham Knights is a decent game, but because it follows what has become the premiere superhero series in video games, it doesn’t quite scratch the itch that the end of the Arkham series left.
A decent superhero game with fun combat and story elements, but it struggles to live up to its Arkham series predecessors. An interesting game concept but it falls short in some departments.
While I wasn't too thrilled about the Court of Owls storyline, thankfully the villain subcases featuring Harley Quinn, Mr. Freeze and Clayface are top-notch. Batman fans shouldn't hesitate to grab this game and step into the knight.
A proper interpretation of an excellent story with lots of content and juice for fans of the universe. Leave aside the dramas about performance and return to Gotham for some sleepless nights.

With the dust now settled I’ve had the joy of spending the last 12 days, working my way through the entire main narrative of Gotham Knights. With its bombastic climax, the developer has its sights firmly set on encouraging the player to keep going after the credits roll. The big questions is of course… will you want to?
Gotham Knights is one of those games that looks and plays better that we thought and when it works, it works great. Unfortunately the game can't escape the shadow of a much richer Arkham Trilogy even if its setting is in another universe.

If we accept that we are not facing a new Batman from Rocksteady, but something totally new, it is easy to have fun and enjoy this remarkable proposal of the Dark Knight's universe.

Gotham Knights is, simply, not very good and pales in comparsion to any game from the Arkham series.

Gotham Knights has a lot more to offer than meets the eye. It cannot be denied that the game is already dated, technically inefficient, and full of bizarre choices. Still, I cannot help to praise all it does right, especially that which has gone ignored by critics in favor of easy nitpicks and criticisms. The combat mechanics and worldbuilding are a special highlight.
A Batman family that couldn't get out of Arkhamverse's shadow. The game design structured around Co-op shows a lack of motivation. So many problems with monotonous combat, empty Gotham city, insufficient hero abilities, optimization issues and so on. A screenshot of Gotham city from photo-mode is the only thing that comforted me.

Gotham Knights is worth playing for its story and characters, but its RPG stylings feel counterintuitive and clunky compared to the Arkham games.
I had a great time playing Gotham Knights and yes it has its issues but overall it’s a solid addition to the superhero genre. The story is a bit by the numbers and relied a lot on combat but the character portrayal and heart of the game shown more than made for that in my opinion.
You should not pass up the opportunity to play this game

Despite a rather shaky technical aspect, overall Gotham Knigths proves to be a good title capable of entertain, with interesting and fun ideas that bring the player back to the dark and gloomy Gotham we love.

Gotham Knights was for me a very enjoyable adventure despite some flaws and one that I think DC fans will enjoy if they are patient and willing to overlook some of the shortcomings of the game to focus on the things it does well.
Gotham Knights deliver one of the best co-op experiences, but technical glitches and the finale pull the recommendation down slightly. The possibility of cooperation is not just a bonus but is one of the game's fundamental building blocks. However, that doesn't mean you won't enjoy the game if you play it alone. So we can recommend Gotham Knights with 7 points out of 10.

There’s no denying that Gotham Knights is a sizable disappointment even if it settles into being a decent, yet forgettable, game.
Overall, Gotham Knights is, a boring, irritating game and a waste of potential that does little to the bat-family.

Gotham Knights is the worthy heir to Batman. Net of an optimisation that is not in line with the art proposed and a city that is not very engaging in its entirety, the work is a triumph of love for those who love the genre. Each of the four protagonists has memorable play and narrative traits.
