Gotham Knights

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.

It's getting hammered for a lot of graphic reasons and some glitches and yes I saw some but no more than in any open world game.

I'll say that it did force close on my xbox SX three times mostly as I was traversing but that's the only problems I had with it.

The story is no worse or better than the previous arkham games, I know its not an arkham game but it's impossible not to compare them.

The gameplay is solid, the world is detailed and the voice acting is fine, only one of the core leads stuck out as particularly bad but that could be part of the character.

If you're familiar with batman lore you'll see the story twists coming a mile away but damn if it isn't fun getting there and being able to choose who you are is pretty refreshing although I did miss being Batman.

It's not a patch on the arkham games but it's a very worthy successor.

Think of it as a typical sequel, not as good as but definitely not to be left out and really not as bad as people say.

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.

Some say you shouldn't compare this game to the other Arkham games but that's just excuse. Of course we have to compare a BATMAN game to other batman games.

+ Pretty alright main story The switch between characters is nice Being able to switch gear and costumes

- Too few villains Boring side quests 30fps feel laggy and non responsive Combat system just nowhere near as good and creative.

Stealth mode just a lot clumsier as well.

Batcycle feels slow and is a pain to call.

Overall Gotham Knights it isn't as bad as some might say, but in my opinion it's just nowhere near the other Arkham games. It just lacks in overall experience. I haven't played City, Origina or Knight in over 4 years but I still remember explicit scenes from each game and even the music too.

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?
