Gotham Knights Is The Most "Good" Game I've Ever Played (SPOILER-FREE REVIEW)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- This is a SPOILER-FREE review of Gotham Knights. If that's something you care about, your fears can be at ease, as this video contains no spoilers on content that trailers didn't already reveal.
The long-awaited for some, completely dismissed by others, game of the year is finally here. Gotham Knights. This game has been all over the place throughout the last year. It started with one of the most bizarre ad campaigns I’ve ever seen for a AAA game, with months worth of cryptic images and texts that just about every major news outlet was trying to decrypt. Everyone pretty much knew it was a new Bat-family game centered around the Court of Owls after the first pic, but it was still eventually revealed at DC Fandome as the game we have today. At one point, it was said to be on both last and next gen consoles to appeal to a wider market. However, WB eventually sneakily revealed that it would only be coming to newer consoles, thus eliminating a massive chunk of their market, because new consoles are just impossible to come by!
As the release date grew ever closer, excitement only seemed to dwindle. More and more gameplay footage was shown, and people just grew more distant from the project, because it just wasn’t Arkham their beloved. I personally stayed away from most promo stuff, aside from a few story trailers, so that might be why I was always part of the hype group for this game. I genuinely have no idea what most of the gameplay looked like going in, so it was interesting to see if peoples complaints were justified or not. Compound all that with CW making yet another terrible tv show capitalizing on this game’s hype train while having nothing to do with it, and you’ve got an absolute PR disaster for Gotham Knights. And now, it’s time to see if all that really did reflect the game in question. Truth be told, it didn't.

To everyone talking about the graphics and the framerate: Seriously, what are y'all on?
This game is gorgeous in literally every way. The graphics are astounding. The framerate literally only drops when I come out of a loading screen, then jumps right back to a crystal-clean rate. I play Arkham City on a 10 year old Xbox 360, and the framerate is constantly 30 or below when I play it. This game is not that. It is smooth as butter for literally my entire playthrough. Either y'all think anything below 120 FPS is literally unplayable, or you're playing on some really low-end PCs.
Compare it to Arkham Knight and tell me it looks better, I dare you. It should blow Arkham out of the water with the technology now available, and it just doesn’t.
I've seen streamers with monster rigs having 3080s and even 3090s experience stutters and frame drops atleast that's how it was on launch, There were a lot of discussion centered around the terrible stuttering and frame pacing issues I get that you didn't experience these issues firsthand but that doesn't mean nobody else has.
@@i-am-batman8538 Until a few days ago I didn't even know arkham knight uses unreal 3, how did rocksteady make a game as good looking as arkham knight with outdated tech this is like that line from iron man 1 about Tony building an iron man suit in a cave with a bunch of scraps lol.
@@KratosisGod exactly hahaha, the videos that compare the two games directly show exactly why anyone claiming Gotham Knights’ graphics are even close to Knight are a bit full of it.
@@i-am-batman8538 I knew from the first trailer of this game that it was going to be average it always looked like an average game even right before release and there's nothing wrong with that but at the same time don't expect people to pay 70 bucks for a game that's worse than a 7 year old game if this game was 40 bucks it would've been more acceptable.
"Gotham Knights is truly one of the games of all time" Got me bro
It’s definitely a game that exists 😂
Rest In Peace Kevin Conroy, the best Batman
What?! Your comment literally how I just find it out. This is saddening. RIP
@@mrksimka1159 Yeah man he just passed yesterday or the day before
@@WickedShmegma he passed on 10th November 2022
Dude, He said No Spoilers
@@Thebigem ? It isn’t part of Gotham knights it is a real thing that happened and I wanted to just say Rest In Peace. Clown puncher even did a community post before I put this comment
As Bane said “that was disappointing“
Is how I feel about this game
Fair enough. Haven't played it in ages due to being busy but I liked it and am honestly surprised anyone found it disappointing seen as its good but every youtuber and piece of media made it seem like a shitshow
@@danielf1833 I don’t like some aspects of the game , I don’t fan over a topic but I have to say Gotham knights is to me simple, basic and a good game that’s how I see it but one of the reasons my expectations of the game was originally low because the game seemed like it was a dark mysterious creepy game due to them teasing the court of owls and mister freeze (the game is still dark but the trailers and teasers made it look like it was over the definition of dark and creepy) also what made me confused that people are saying that “30 fps is not great” but I disagree partly me playing games that I enjoy are low quality but I don’t think it needs 60 fps the city looks absolutely amazing I think a reason why they didn’t allow this game access to ps4 and Xbox past generations because the city was way big and had a lot of un needed details which could made some consequence making this game.
what were you expecting to be disappointed? were you expecting this to be a 10/10 masterpiece, if so why? i personally went into this game expecting it to be a 6.5/10 but came out pleasantly surprised when it was better than i expected
@@largebig79 I went into this game, optimistic, but everything it does is just bad, or a downgrade
i miss when people would just say "the game is disappointing" instead of whatever the fuck this is
RIP Kevin Conroy you were the perfect voice for batman. You will be missed ❤🙏
Thanks for all the Gotham supporting, this show is great and every Batman fan should watch it.
Finally a sane person who isn't acting like this game killed their entire family
This game did kill our family. The bat family.
The only people who are hating on the game THAT much are console players who are upset about it running at 30fps
@@Standard-Gamer there's a side quest where Robin tells Jason to shoot him and he dead ass thinks about shooting in point blank in their head with hot lethal cartridges. I'm not cool with the world where Jason Todd even considered casually blowing Tim Drake's f****** brains out.
@@Standard-Gamer bro I'm a console player and I couldn't care less so long as the games fun. Which to me it is
@@Standard-Gamer bullshit I'm a pc player and my build is pretty good. To the point that with the exception of this game and cyberpunk it has not run slugishly or even any slowly at all but when I play this game it runs relitively shit while not looking good unlike arkham knight which came out about 6 years ago.
No batman game may ever beat the arkham series! The batman arkham games are just masterpieces (even Origins imo)
Edit: I just found out Kevin Conroy has passed away yesterday 😭 RIP Kevin Conroy, you were an amazing voice actor!
Lego Batman 2
Origins is the best one imo 👍
@@danielf1833 i actually agree with you! Origins is by far my favorite out of the 4 arkham games!
I want another arkham like batman game
@@simonsemanak2004 same :(
Wait wait when was it stated that the personal cutscenes in Tower are flashbacks? I'm pretty sure they are happening concurrently with the story. In Barbara "flashbacks" they even discuss the court with Tim and Jason.
Yeah agreed I’m like 99% sure all those scenes were in the moment
they are definitely in the present but I can see why you would think they aren't bc of the weird bright white flash that plays only in those cutscenes
Red Hood is my favorite character of the Bat Family, his back story and his character growth is amazing and even hugging Alfred as a sign of just missing Bruce as a father figure, and you are so right, WB probably would have been better off making a Red Hood game us, thanks for the review man, this story gives us a little bit of the Court of Owls and thanks for the Gotham show shoutout, the show good in my opinion.
Until next time, we will see you later ClownPuncher139.
Haven't finished the game yet. But I got two major issues.
1. The traversal fucking sucks. I wanna glide, not jump from wall to wall, drive my bike or just teleport. They're all boring.
2. I absolutely HATE fighting that big lady that swings her knife. She's such a boring AI. She's just a sponge, has no reaction to you hitting her till the very end, and the amount of times you see her every night is ridiculous
I’m pretty sure those aren’t flashbacks. In fact most of the stories either deal with Bruce being gone like Tim’s or Dicks, or Babs working on an old court murder to find connections. Tho I do wish they were more integrated into the main story, rather than being side missions.
Sometimes I joke about how Arkham Batman would’ve beaten Ra’s and the court of owls in one night instead of 50+ nights not that it’s a negative to the game
Though even as Batman the one night crusades of the Arkham games are highly unrealistic. With everything he does in them at least a week should go by especially in City and Knight.
@@flamesofchaos13 A week might be a little bit of a stretch, I'd say two or three nights.
@@flamesofchaos13Ironically, I like the one-night stands purely because it just seems fascinating to me.
The game tried to separate itself from arkham but that wasn't going to happen. Arkham is the standard that all superhero games are compared to. It's like all open world crime games compared to gta.
Spoiler warning
Nah Marvel's avengers is better. And that game Captain America actually comes back to life- in Gotham knights- they tell you directly that Batman is dead and show you his corpse only for him to get brought back with the Lazarus pit anyway which everyone saw coming, and what's even weirder is the ending cutscene implies that the Lazarus pit works fine for Jason but it doesn't work fine for Bruce or Rash al Ghoul? Then after all that effort to bring Bruce back to life and help him fight the Lazarus he just kills himself immediately- the issue with Marvel's avengers was the gameplay mechanics and they've long since fixed that with many patches updates and DLCs- they story is serviceable and accurate to what direction both the comics and the MCU are going. What is Gotham knights even about?? it has nothing to do with the Gotham Knights TV show or the Gotham Knights comic book line.
@@technicallya-samaurai3507stopped reading after you said Marvels avengers is better. Oh yeah, is that why it's completely shut down and lost support, completely failed, had terrible gameplay, dead graphics. Marvel's Avengers is OBJECTIVELY a failed, bad game. Massive L. Cry
There's LOADS more, worse stuff about the game I haven't even mentioned, too. There's like an infinite amount of faults and flaws that nobody can even defend after all this time since it came out. And they TRIED to "fix" a bunch of gameplay faults for a bunch of characters - but it didn't make the game much better at all; ever heard of the phrase "polishing a turd"?
Gotham Knights not be an amazing game, perhaps just a "good" game, but don't even begin to compare it to the shitshow that is Marvel Avengers. I'm mad that I spent money on that shit. I'm not mad about Gotham Knights - though I did get it on sale; ain't no way it's worth the full 70
I enjoyed my time with it. It’s passable and is nowhere near as bad as a lot of people claim it is. Just a bit underwhelming and short, in my opinion
Seriously I’ve only spent 35 hours with the game so far and I’m already one trophy away from having the platinum for it, and the only reason I haven’t gotten the last trophy yet is because I know as soon as I get it, I’ll have no real reason to keep playing. So now I’m just waiting for new content to drop.
If you’re thinking about getting the game, I say wait for a sale and maybe wait till a friend has access to the game cause coop really helps this game shine a lot more. There’s a lot to enjoy here, but not enough to make the price of admission worth it.
R.I.P To Kevin Conroy | May He Rest in Peace
gotham knights is if ubisoft tried to make an arkham game
Facts 😂😂 it’s crazy cause the shitty AC rpg games might have more polish and detail than mediocre stiff knights
Not an arkham game.
there's no micro transactions so i wouldn't say it's as bad as ubisoft
I basically feel the same way about the game like this video. It’s a good game. I went in with a clear mindset and telling myself that this isn’t the next Batman and/or Spider-Man game and I’m just here to have fun with it
It takes 5 seconds for the Batcycle to travel 100 meters. That's 20 meters per second which transfers to 72 kilometers per hour (about 45mph) so yeah, that IS slow (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, not quite a genius at maths xD)
The audio files give a lot of context to freeze and some of the other events of the game, if you see this comment check them out they’re really nice
It’s a real shame you have to listen to them to get some real context to some of the events
@Schaffrillas Productions th-cam.com/video/-XlkGb0tM_M/w-d-xo.html
The main disappointment for me is that the game lacked a lot of villains, like no they could have included a black mask, killer croc or two face main arc or side quest. The gameplay was alright, felt slightly like the combat in spider man Ps4 and the main characters were okay but honestly the story and narrative was what I was really looking forward to, but it was pretty distracted and generic.
I think it's a ok the developers really worked hard still wishing we could get a good justice league video game in the near future.
Love your video, the story along with voice acting isn't terrible but maybe we can get another shot with the bat-family one day but this game is not a horrible maybe we can get Paul dini should work on another batman game one day.
I feel like we should get an "Arkham Chronicles" of sort after Suicide Squad. Just a collection of shorter, playable stories that take place throughout the Arkham series.
@@AstralApparently that would be so cool
Lol the voice acting is horrendous especially cringey bat girl. They are robotic and cringe
@@JJS595 nah I like the voice actors, they are trying so could you cut them some slack.
But I respect your opinion
I'd basically call this the better version of Marvel's Avengers. That's at least what I can compare this gameplay to.
Nice to hear a well thought out review. I may try the game now!
You can get a really good rhythm with the timed attacks. I felt like it was random almost for part of the game and then something just clicked and I found I was able to do it reliably.
Also, if you knock someone down, you can grab them regardless of health. There are a lot of ways to do that. But if you finish off a timed attack combo with a heavy melee it'll knock them down and then you can grab them. Even if you've barely put a dent in them.
I enjoyed the later game more because many of the enemies could dodge more effectively and it give it this feeling almost like it's an intense fight with a really smart NPC.
You're totally right though. The beginning of the game is slow and basic.
Got platinum and one of Batgirls best moves is her bat swarm. They hurt approaching enemies and shield you from damage except for big aoe attacks, but punches, bullets, molotovs and rockets are blocked.
RIP Kevin Conroy. You will not be forgotten
The title alone sums up how I felt about the game-
You know you find clayface by traveling around the city then a yellow crime icon appears and it's a clay thing attacking a citizen.
This is basically my thoughts on the game from me briefly playing on pc and likely getting a new one soon just for playing and the walkthroughs from Batman Arkham videos ofc. But my problem with the story is the ending as a Batman fan
yeah same here this is pretty much my opinion on the game too with some difference here and there and this is coming from someone who played it on console.
this game is severely underrated, i feel like it's gonna be like arkham origins, being hated at first then loved later
Damn graphics card is so good I love the quality of this also I’m enjoying the game, it’s pretty good but not Arkham good, didn’t live fully up to my expectations but did good, good review btw
Spoilers
I hate how the court was just pushed to the side in favor of the league of assassins (I know it's shadows in this game but you won't catch me calling them that dead) I feel like it's mismarcting, not as bad as joker in origins but still.
I have the same issue in a slightly different way. No problem with the League, but the Court could’ve been a lot more intimidating - they should be able to cripple the Bat Family with power and influence, they knew who they were and did little with it. Feels underwhelming a tad.
In my personal opinion the clayface story Is the best side mission, also fyi to trigger the mission look near the financial district and find stretchy faceless mobsters
You deserve so much more your content is so good
I could make a long comment about my opinion, but you touched on everything perfectly for me. I was looking forward to your review and watching if makes it clear why. You had a true opinion and a fair one at that. This game is good. Only thing I found was the performance. Perhaps you had a great experience, but for me and others there was some noticeable frame rate drops to the mid perhaps even low twenties. I was still able to enjoy what I played, but I did stop (not just for reasons related to the game) and am going to start again soon. They have released a patch recently which you may have had installed, hence why you didn’t notice any performance stability issues. Looking forward to finally playing for real, and hopefully the patch has worked well. Great review!
Great video dude have to play some Gotham Knight sometime
Guys we lost a legend today
Kevin conroy Has gone
Fly high 😔😔
This all I ever wanted out of a review for someone to say a game was good or ok or anything and not all the negative reviews of any game just being BAD all the time on all the games I’ve seen nowadays this just so refreshing
I agree with your opinions on Batman's and Batgirl's voice. I ended up maining Batgirl because I personally like her a bit more than the rest of the cast, but her voice was just kinda... fake to me? Everybody else sounded believable enough, for a comic book game at least, but her voice was so exaggerated and peppy that it felt off. About Batman, in his tapes throughout his years as Batman, it starts off more optimistic, and young and then as the tapes progress with the years, he becomes more gruntled and I guess raspy?
tbh I wouldn't have mind if Joker was mentioned considering he plays a big part in Jason's story
honestly 7.5 out of 10 is usually a must buy for me because i have lower standards and can usually notice stuff others dont focus on. plus i read the wikipedia summary of the story and it sounds nuts, like a heavy metal movie
This game is more like a 4.5
Same, i actually liked many "black sheep" games in my life
Love your reviews :)
Come to think of it, character stories (the side-missions) are kinda the same with AC3 Homestead missions. Overall good characters, but it further expands on them that they can't force into the main story.
I genuinely think the biggest mistake is the fact they made it so video gamey. The HUD, the health bars, the fact even in single player there's no game overs. It completely ruins immersion which means when I play this game, I'm constantly looking for flaws.
Nah the biggest mistake was making this dog shit instead of that Arkham legacy game they cancelled
You can grab after a stun as well, which can be done with certain attacks or environmental hazards.
Great review can’t wait to watch
Were the cutscenes in the Belfry flashbacks? I though that they were happening in the moment when you triggered them. Maybe I missed something but I thought all those cutscenes were taking place in the preset, during the story. I didn’t realize that they were flashbacks that took place before the story.
@ClownPuncher139 the way you unlock the clay face missing is by saving certain people in the city and fight clay face goons until the missing is fully unlocked.
Warning spoilers.
This is the first time I've watched one of your videos and very deeply disagreed with you. I was hyped for this game to come out for almost 2 years and when I finally got to play it I was extremely disappointed. Most often it runs at 25 frames per second and the graphics do not look good the graphics in Arkham Knight look a lot better, this looks like a game that would have been cranked out in like 2008 or 2010. I think the story and the cutscenes are the only redeeming quality of this game and that's clearly where a lot of the budget and effort went. I'm shocked that they got such famous voice actors in such a nothing game. They're also bits of the story that I just find blatantly hypocritical- like how they make it such a big deal that red hood is using non-lethal ammunition but he still throws people off of buildings to their demise without catching them and there is literally a cut scene where he thinks about shooting Robin- a lot of these characters seem extremely out of character and the ending was just completely unnecessary. It was a huge waste, I was never a fan of bringing someone back to life just to kill them again anyway- too anyone who is reading this- please don't get Gotham knights, I played through the game in like 4 days at my friend's house, and it was just none fun- about 25% into the game it gets heavily Grindy and the story just tturned straight drop into "oh it looks like none of the other villains are really the problem the court of owls was behind it all along" it's paired with subpar plot twists that you could see coming from a mile away.
Over all this game feels like it could've easily been released on PS4, looks and feels like a PS3 game and should not be a PS5 exclusive- it's going to take nothing short, of a No Man's sky style miracle to save this game. If you want a good PS5 game please buy God of war Ragnarok it's been wonderful so far. If you're obsessed with Batman like me rock steady is working on a suicide squad video game right now, so just completely ignore Gotham nights we're going to get more Cannon games in the Arkham franchise in the future.
I love you clown puncher and I appreciate all of your videos but Gotham Knights was genuinely worse than Marvel's avengers, and I've actually canceled my order on my own PS5 because of how poor my experience with the game was. I can still play God of war Ragnarok on my PS4, and I can still play Spider-Man Miles Morales on my PS4 and they both look better than this.
I'm not sure if I'll get Gotham nights yet. I'll probably wait until its on sale tho👍
"Don't worry, I'll save you citizen!"
*Hops on Batcycle*
Was waiting for this review. Gotta say I'm glad you enjoyed the game but I'm still not convinced.. Might get it if it ever goes on sale but can't see it being something I'd be crazy about
I don’t think it’s the sort of game people get crazy about. It’s solid in many departments, but rarely above that - really missing the ‘x factor’ that goes above or beyond in any department really imo
I genuinely enjoyed the game a lot tbh. It has its flaws and the No 60fps is pretty dumb but the co-op was actually super fun (just don’t play as red hood 😬)
You can knock down enemies, use a grab strike, knock them down, renice and repeat, aka grabs kind of destroy enemies and are my favorite part of combat
Nice video I have a question since you have a ps5 now dose that mean your gonna review the spider man games at some point
tbh i think the game is pretty good but the part i dont like is the fact that you and enemies can have different levels bc it kinda makes it feel more like the avengers game and less like a dark batman game
I've heard people play it on a system that can't run the game and say the games not good like bro the it's not the game thats bad it's your computer
Redhood felt like the big bro that's got your back. I really like that. Feels like he'd bust up anyone that messes with Tim XD
Kevin Conroy is gone, but he forever lives on in the legend of the Batman.
I haven't been able to play much GK because I want to go my entire first play through co op and my friend I'm playing the game with has not been able to play but i absolutely LOVE the combat in this game
1:48 to be fair, you probably spent the very most of days counting cloudburst bodies in the slay sum
Freeze’s voice didn’t bother me in as much as how fucking GENERIC his dialogue was. Penguin’s voice was dreadfully cast and I think of the four heroes Batgirl had the worst casting. Felt very wooden and just someone reading words off a page. Tim sounded like Jesse Eisenberg so that was at least entertaining.
Edit: I wrote my comment before you got to her. As usual, you hit the nail on the head.
Thank u clown puncher for posting this ur honestly the only opinion ima value when we’re talking about Arkham / Batman games
I wish they took a risk with less household villain names, they chose the exact roster as the Arkham series except the court of owls, and this isn’t a complaint about the fact they chose these villains it’s just how they didn’t do anything to differentiate them, they’re the plainest versions of the characters we can see really (I haven’t played the game only seen videos so excuse me if what I said was wrong, but from everything I’ve seen I got the basic idea I think) I would have loved to see more minor villains such as owl man or cat man to contrast them fighting a batman like villain
I can’t wait to play this game on Monday December 25th! I already bought it cheap, but I get my Series S on Christmas
Am I the only one who thinks the character designers out of costume are ugly as hell? Maybe I just don’t like the photo realism approach, but nobody looks how I would think they should. Jason Todd especially, he looks like a high school jock with a scar. When I think Jason Todd I think of clay face in hush, and Jason himself in under the red hood. The messy head of hair with a streak of white, the thin face with pointy chin, the perpetual irritation, even after joining the side of good. Not some big stocky square headed guy with a buzz cut and big ass scar.
The only person who I think looks like the character they’re supposed to be is penguin. He’s got the pointy nose pointed down, the fat folds, and the bushy eyebrows.
In costume, they look fine, I guess. I’m not a big fan of the need for constantly changing costumes, but I’d be lying if I said I don’t kinda want to see them all. I don’t like batgirl’s costume, but that’s because I always think of BTAS or the 60s show for her costume. Mostly the full head cowl. Whatever that domino mask abomination she wears in this game is suppose to be, it sure doesn’t look good. Night wing looks pretty good, and robin looks fine. I’ve got nothing against Jason’s design, but it’s not the best I’ve seen. I’ve always liked the leather jacket look, and I still think he’s too broad shouldered. I’ve never thought of Jason as a bruiser. I do hate the sleeveless hoodie look though.
can’t wait to watch this! sadly i don’t have time now so i’ll have to later lol
I agree with you that this game is good and is severly underrated. But for me my character is very different because Red Hood is last in terms of gameplay wise because I just find him a little too slow, third is Nightwing love his acrobated skills but kinda basic, Batgirl is second love her gameplay but her voice actress isn't the greatest, and number 1 goes to Robin because I love Tim and I love predator (Predator maps are my favorite in the Arkham games) and Robin is perfect for that in this one.
Batcycle is about the same speed as the batmobile. Gotham Knights just did a very bad job of giving it any sense of speed. They need to increase FOV with speed and maybe add some screen shake. For some reason they zoom in as you speed up, which is the exact opposite of what they should be doing.
Ur first sentence 😂😂😂😂🤡
@@JJS595
Watch the Digital Foundry video on Gotham Knights, 10:50 mark-ish. His analysis concluded they are traveling at similar speeds.
FOV makes a big difference to sense of speed.
It's why 100mph in Need For Speed or Forza feels so damn fast, they have crazy high FOVS.
Meanwhile 100mph in a game like Gran Turismo feels like under the city speed limit..
Amazing review
I’m not really a fan of Jason… but him hugging Alfred is so unexpectedly wholesome I almost cried a bit.
Great video 👍
I've got some issues with Gotham Knights, but overall I have had a lot of fun with it.
Honestly, the biggedt thing I find kinda annoying is that the game doesn't really drive you away from getting entrenched into a main character. I picked Batgirl at the start cause I love her Gotham Knights design more than the others in the cast, and got into her playstyle so much that I genuinely felt bad for ignoring the rest of the characters. 10 hours in and I still haven't picked up Robin or Red Hood because I really like how Batgirl plays and don't feel like doing the requirements to unlock the new traversal methods or slog through upgrade screens for 3 other characters to have a chance at enjoying them when I already really like how Batgirl plays. Forcing the player to choose other characters and experiment with the four Knights would keep people from digging in to far into one character and would improve the story by really making this an adventure the four solve together rather than my playthtough which is "Batgirl and her 3 friends who she hangs out with in the Belfrey"
You can find clayface by finding disturbances in the west district use your ar scan and find orange markers there unlocked after case file 2
The biggest problem with the game is that it is the same price as GOW Ragnarok, Elden Ring and other AAA games that are amazing. This game I will admit looks enjoyable, but not something I'd spend 70$ on. Right now there's a sale on PS Store with the deluxe edition 45% off for 52$, but the standard edition is still 70$. That's a price I think this game is worth. Especially it being the Deluxe Edition. Unfortunately though the sale ends Dec 22nd and I won't have money to spend on games til after Christmas.
I couldn’t get mister negative out of my head
One of the best reviewer that review any Arkham trilogy
I enjoyed this game, it was every thing I was hoping it would be.
It's an overall great game. I'm writing a narrative review on the game for college, so don't sweat it. 😂 Dee Bradley Baker is Ra's!?
You're the first person to not call this game bad that I actually respect. My only arguments against this game are:
1: The combat is one-dimensional and does not change throughout the entire game, even boss fights
2. Some of the voice acting is childish and immature
3. The mission structure is also unwaivering and one-dimensional, all feeling the same minus a few puzzles
4. The game feels longer than in it needs to be.
I do feel that the potential of this game was wasted by higher up decisions. And as we all know wasted potential is far worse than no potential.
This is the Batman and Robin of the Arkham games.
It is not even an Arkham Game
@@arkhamtony4469 A lot of hate for this game was for that comparison, honestly we knew for months Rocksteady would not have made this game but everyone acted like they lied to us
Suicide Squad wants a word with you
The Batcycle kinda made me feel like how it looked in TDK movie lol
thas crazy youd say that i played this a little bit then started watching gotham😭😭😭
Imo, I went in this game expecting a simple vigilante game, and it’s what I got, so I really like it
I’ll admit the bosses are sometimes a bit ugh, to the point I had to reduce difficulty
Wow now I don’t need to make a review 😂 good job with this one
Yea this review is how I feel about the game (even tho I don't have the game YET). I plan on getting an Xbox series X for christmas and I'll buy gotham knights with it because from this review I might pick it up around that time.
I agree with Barbara's voice. I do like it but there's just something off about that takes me out sometimes but it's still good
Easily some of the worst voice acting ever all in mediocre cringe knights
Being just good is, in my opinion, even worse than being bad
Neek, your a good person.
I honestly find it very addicting
batman vs ra al ghul goes hard
I watched parts of the game from CoryxKenshin, and my biggest gripe atp (it wasnt a long video) was Batgirl, the acting was nonexistent and felt like a cheesy sitcom at times
I think it should have been on last gen
You're 100% correct this game looks like it was forged on the PlayStation 3. What the hell happened? Everyone keeps telling me that these graphics look amazing and all I'm remembering is that Peter Parker and Spider-Man PS4 looked comic book accurate until they changed it for the PS5- like a lot of the big releases I was waiting on for the PS5 have really disappointed. There's just really no point in me getting one yet, there are several new games that are going to come out on the PS4 still like God of war Ragnarok.
@@technicallya-samaurai3507 yeh i don't know how this cant run on xbox one x or ps4 pro or base ones
@@nameless_magic5940 This is how it's gonna be now. Ps5 and xbox series x have been out for 2 years so expect everything to be exclusively for those consoles or perform poorly on old gen
@@rhysburns5420 it really seems like force scarcity though I've read a lot of articles and seen a lot of interviews and it feels like Sony is making the PS5 hard to get on purpose- and from what I can tell on PC most of these games are already running on a performance level that could easily be put on the PS4- it feels like Sony is forcing the PS4 out early, and not making big enough steps forward in video games in order for us to really value the PS5. Like the PS5 has so much storage and great 4k graphics, and the only thing I've really been able to enjoy on it so far is movies because none of the video games that have been released really take advantage of it aside from the things that are also on PS4 like Miles Morales and God of war Ragnarok. The only things that I see have this intense graphical upgrade are the things that are on both consoles anyway, and frankly cyberpunk wasn't even bigger a nightmare on PS5 than it was on PS4 and PC.
Are you gonna do a spoiler video? I’d really love to hear your full takes.
This game may have just been Okay, but it looks like Citizen Kane compared to Kill the Justice League...
I’d say this game is pretty fun for the most part, and I try playing it in a way that doesn’t make me compare it to Arkham because I knew going in this wouldn’t be the next Arkham game. However the real reason that I have a sour taste in my mouth when it comes to this game is the consistent game crashing. Every hour or so since purchasing the game, the game will crash my entire system within an hour or two. Admittedly it has been a couple days since I played the game with its new update so maybe it’s been fixed, but the game should not release in us state where it completely shuts down your PS5 by performing the most basic programs in the game.
Again I can’t state this enough, the game is fun, but the frustration that comes with having to reset up the entire system every hour or so makes me wonder why am playing Gotham nights instead of any of the Arkham games that have rarely ever caused me any trouble.

Am I the only one who thinks Batman sounds like Metroman in this game?
Just got this game yesterday and if you're interested I'd be happy to play with you. Like seriously beating Harley and Freeze by myself was a pain in the ass. And if you're wondering I am playing on PS5. Got the Deluxe Edition as it was on sale for 52$.
I just thought of this but this penguin seems to fit more of the falcone side and might of been better fit also penguin kinda just felt out of place in the game
Also red hood power to me makes no sense as ras al gohl would of also had the power and he could of used that when fighting Batman and didn’t at all and batgirl power up gliding make me think has she never watched batman glide when on patrol also the grapple while it is fine the forward leg pointing grapple makes no sense to me and I kinda wish there was a bit more different animation options then all the knights having the same
Can’t say much on gameplay as I’ve only watched playthough as I don’t have anything that can play it
