Gotham Knights’ story doesn’t get a chance to shine due to all the other nonsense you’ll be forced to do during all the okayish main missions. Sadly, while this sounds like a story for the ages, it is far from it. Batman is dead and four new vigilantes now enter the spotlight in Gotham City to protect it (while also uncovering the death behind Batman and other nasty things going on behind the scenes). This game isn’t it and if anything, doesn’t want to be either. So how does the game fare? Well, it is okay.īefore you go into Gotham Knights it is important to forget everything you think you know about the Arkham series. I strongly think tha t Gotham Knights had a very different end result in sight when it was in development. It has been structured to be repetitive, chore-based and offer materials that were likely harder to earn before things were tweaked. While there is a story going on in Gotham Knights, the gameplay padding isn’t good. You can red Lynley’s Gotham Knights review here too Sort of like the devs quickly changed how the game was meant to be played in fear of another Marvel’s Avengers trainwreck. However, these mechanics have not been implemented fully.

It also doesn’t help that Gotham Knights has strangely been designed with live service elements built into it.

With that being said, even if Gotham Knights was four or five times better than what it already is, the game would still be worse than Arkham Knight. It is hard not to compare Gotham Knights to likely one of the greatest games ever released in our lifetime, Batman Arkham Knight.
