However, the game launched to major technical issues, bugs, performance hitches, and it was lackluster in its gameplay to boot. Today, Luke Stephens breaks down why the game falls so flat and what they could have done to make Gotham Knights a success.

!['Suicide Squad' is vapid, repetitive, and gross... [Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QVX-cWP43BE/mqdefault.jpg)
I was shocked people actually thought it’d be a good game
With the passing of Kevin Conroy, it hurts me so much knowing that he won't ever be able to voice the iconic Batman character again. What an absolutely amazingly talented voice actor. He and Mark Hamill will always be Batman and Joker for me.
No matter how much they tried to scrub it and hide it, the DNA of a live-service game still haunts the core design of this game.
I agree with you on Robin being annoying. The first cutscene he started talking I felt like the other three would've looked at him and said "Shut up the adults are talking." Dude is like a superhero that gets his lunch money taken.
One of the most disappointing aspects of Gotham Knights is the unremarkable dialogue of the basic enemies, where as the basic enemies dialogue in the Arkham games (particularly Arkham City and ESPECIALLY Arkham Knight) were some of the most hilariously entertaining things I've ever heard in a game. It just made an already great game, even better.
I’m glad I didn’t buy tbh
The reason that a stealth system isn't done well is because stealth gameplay gives the player the ability to take out enemies right away or entirely avoid the combat. neither of those options will ever lead to a player (especially a young or very bad player) feeling underpowered for an encounter and thus deciding to spend real money to get an advantage. They want it so THE ONLY advantage a struggling player feels they can get is through real world money that means that encounters have to be as straight forward as possible.
It’s sad because this game had so much potential introducing people to the bat family and allowing them to feel powerful and resourceful as Batman.
Honestly Lego games do a better handling of switching between characters with a AI that does stuff along with you during levels that can also be controlled by a real person in co-op I feel like Gotham knights could being fit with that and you may get select two characters on a mission or in the open world to play either with your friend or with a AI that you can hot-swap between with whenever you want except I guess cutscenes. I enjoyed the video and I hope the developers of this game and other learn from this mistakes of this game as well as the successes. Keep up the great work. :)
I never actually finished this game, because of the lack of mid-game character switching and actual fucking checkpoints that practically any game with a singleplayer has. I was struggling as Robin in the last fight, and wanted to switch to any other character because their abilities and power was just better for the fight, but because I couldn't just switch mid-mission, I had to cancel the mission, switch to another character, go back to the mission's starting point, and then because of the lack of mission checkpoints, the game makes me restart the entire fucking mission. It's insane how no one thought this was horrible design.
So glad I didn’t buy it. You can defend it all you want but when the combat and gameplay is as dry as it is I don’t see no excuse for it.
When even IGN the ultimate corporate shills give this a bad review you know something ain't right with it.
Gotham Knights is just bizarre from a design standpoint. Wtf were they thinking? Corporate disconnect at its finest.
If it takes 9 years to make a game like this, a re-skin of Arkham knight would have been 100 times better, just like what they did with Arkham origins. It’s the greed behind the live service strategy that led to this game’s downfall.
I’ve noticed in recent media, it feels like dc has run out of batman stories to tell. Almost all modern “batman” stories (tv shows, games, etc.) are without batman. Arrowverse, gotham knights (the game and the show), titans, even suicide squad kill the justice league considering it’s a direct sequel to the arkham games. They all have one thing in common: they’re all post-batman “batman” stories. Idk why dc is trying so hard to push batman out of the spotlight. There’s a reason people love him so much, and constantly trying to replace him is a big mistake.
The things I'm disappointed about this game is that
GOTHAM KNIGHTS - WORST GAME (of the bunch). Taking out the multiplier was a BIG MISTAKE and having to counter takes two buttons - what a joke. Red Hood is literally the worst of them all. The guy has guns and does 0.02 damage. Repetitive crimes, respawning every time. Crappy Batbike. There's so many other things, including the copy and paste combat.
This game 100% feels like it was meant to be a loot box filled live service game. By the time they realized they’d made the wrong choice, the train was full steam ahead. So things were pulled but never replaced and the game just feels so “meh”.
This game was a slap to the face to the Arkham games
My biggest issue is actually the character designs.
