Gotham Knights is up there with Elden Ring as a Game of the Year contender. Its fast, responsive, and action-packed combat is surpassed only by a narrative that had me glued from the very first cutscene. A must-play for fans of open-world titles, and an easy pickup for anyone invested with the Gotham Knights or DC Universe.
Gotham Knights stands in the shadow of giants, and while it doesn't necessarily stand as an equal, it's a valiant effort. There's clearly a lot of love and care put into the game, and while it doesn't hit every mark, it hits more than it misses. The only thing that really drags it down are some technical issues and a slight drought of unique open-world content to complete. It's a great attempt to figure out how you do Batman without Batman, and this title should scratch the itch of any Batman fan.
Gotham Knights narrate a very entertaining story with a well-written and endearing quartet of heroes. Its game mechanics work best when it stays linear. However, its open world makes the experience decline with how repetitive it becomes.
We had placed a lot of hope in this Gotham Knights. The adventure was pleasant but too imperfect, interesting but not legendary enough; especially for a license around the Dark Knight, even without him in the title role. Too bad then. It is therefore high time for him to come back, and in the most beautiful way.
Don’t expect a successor to Arkham, slavish
to the memory of Rocksteady’s games. This 6
isn’t that. It is a good game in its own right,
despite some mistakes. [Issue#21, p.74]
An average city action that can't be broken even by competent fights and an interesting story with a unique villain. Gotham Knights is a time killer with boring activities in a pathetically dead city, terrible controls, wasted potential and a lackluster graphical presentation. The game feels like the work of tie-breakers who have to look up the word "fun" in the dictionary.
Gotham Knights is a lacklustre entry into the Batman mythos that feels like a major step back from what has come before. Whether it's the monotonous combat, subpar 30fps on console, lack of co-op incentives and strain it puts on the single-player experience or the fact that Gotham is dull and slow to explore, nothing justifies its existence. While its story might offer the occasional glimpse of something that could have been, it gives me no great pleasure in saying that Gotham Knights is my biggest disappointment of the year.
Nem volt ez annyira rossz játék, de a hangulata nem volt olyan komor mint a Rocksteady Batman játékainak. Ezt hiányoltam, meg a küldetések is néha kicsit laposak voltak és nem volt túl jó szinthez kötni őket...
Combat and missions get rather repetitive but the story feels like a Batman story. The Gotham setting is really immersive and I just walked around a few times in the game and just looked at stuff. Pretty cool that the 4 characters all play totally different and have their own little cutscenes in the Belfrey.
*If you've played every Batman/Arkham game, this game is exactly everything you DON'T need. It is a game made for those who buy on Ali Express expecting the quality of the Arkham series that is purchased in the original **** experience of fighting and completing combos is very poor, it looks like an N64 game, bad mechanics and few fluids. Unattractive and very repetitive secondary missions.Getting around Gotham City is a rough experience, getting around on a motorcycle is boring. You can entertain if you are a fan of history, which is the only thing that ranks well for this installment, being free in the PS plus and in the Gamepass says a lot.Success, the graphics of the main characters and the city. Otherwise... it's a poor game that deserves a bad rating. If I had been part of the work team I would be embarrassed to deliver the project.
Si has jugado todos los juegos de Batman / Arkham, este juego es exactamente todo lo que NO necesitas. Es un juego hecho para los que compran por ali express esperando la calidad de la serie Arkham que se adquiere en la tienda original. La eperiencia de pelear y concretar combos es muy pobre, parece un juego de N64, mala mecanica y poca fluides. Misiones secundarias nada atractivas y muy repetitivas. Desplazarse por Ciudad Gotica es una experiencia tosca, movilizarse con la Moto es aburridisimo. Puede entretener si eres fan de la historia que es lo unico que catalogo bien para esta entrega, estar gratis en el PS plus y en el Gamepass dice mucho. Acierto, los graficos de los personajes principales y la ciudad. De resto... es un juego pobre que amerita una mala calificacion. De haber sido parte del equipo de trabajo estaria avergonzado por entregar el proyecto.**********************
I am a huge fan of the Arkham series games and the world of Batman in general. I paid 35 dollars for this game while on sale and it feels like I paid too much. It looks and feels cheaply made in comparison to previous Arkham games I’ve loved. Everything about it feels like less; The visuals. The details. The UI. The movement and fighting. The wash and repeat of how you go out each night. The city and its emptiness. The repeated bad guy skins and audio. I’d rather replay Arkham Knight from 2015 again honestly. I really thought I’d appreciate this one with the discount I paid but it’s just not a good game. It’s as average as it gets and that’s a tragedy since the Arkham series was so great. Pass.
SummaryBatman is dead. It is now up to the Batman Family - Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin - to protect Gotham City, bring hope to its citizens, discipline to its cops, and fear to its criminals. You must evolve into the new Dark Knight and save Gotham from chaos. Your legacy begins now. Step into the Knight. Gotham Knights is a brand-ne...
