Gotham Knights couldn’t come close to the success of the Arkham Trilogy. Many critics complain about the RPG-inspired combat system and unnecessary mechanics like tinkering, but praise the beautiful Gotham and super villains that DC fans will love.
Publications quotes:
Gotham Knights tries to differentiate itself from the Arkham series with new characters and a new canon, but mostly imitates poorly what made those games so great.
This isn’t the game Gotham deserves, nor the game he needs right now.
Better and worse than you expected at the same time. Some fun co-op and detective elements are mixed with weak combat and complicated storytelling.
Gotham Knights offers fun and enjoyable gameplay, but many of the features lack the polish needed to make a great, solid game.
If the Arkham series has the level of ingenuity and genius of Christopher Nolan, then Gotham Knights is on the level of Zak Snyder’s DC Extended Universe and Aquaman. Lower your expectations and you’re in for some fun entertainment.
Gotham Knights is out October 21 for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.
