      Yep the major problem and disappointment with the batmobile it was that it didn't have a upgrade tree like Batman. A missed opportunity since the batman gameplay was fully matured. The way you started the gameplay with the batmobile it's the way you finish it. And seeing they put so much of the game around it, by the half of the game it's starting to get old. They should have put different gadget and weapons and enemies type through the game to keep it always fresh. Or make it a smaller part of the game.

    I don't know. Having played both Batgirl and Red Hood, his guns definitely feel different from the batarangs. They fire faster, the bullets fly straight as opposed to curving like the batarangs, meaning it's easier to aim over long distances. The batarangs are infinite, while the guns have to be reloaded(which ties in to some of Red Hoods skill to reaload instantly) Just some things I noticed.

    The game isn't quite that bad.
    With the performance of the game being not great, it was still manageable to play and have fun.
    The story was great up to a certain point but felt so anti-climatic with certain parts and some feeling forced that could've easily been avoidable.
    The visual of the game were not great but not terrible.
    The gameplay feels sluggish at times such as the split second when waiting to grab a stunned enemy, but overall felt great with having different abilities to use and unique combos and the challenge of having to use timed strikes perfectly.
    If you're wanting to buy this game because you think it's an arkham successor, this isn't the game for you. However, if you want to play and explore the batman family and fight criminals to save gotham, this game is for you.

    Gotham Knights is the other side of Saints Row's coin. Saints Row is a hollow, manufactured feeling product. Gotham Knights is full of passion but misses the mark. Its good ideas feel hollow despite the clear intentions on the part of the devs. You can tell they tried and that there's heart put into it (unlike Saints Row), but it falls short. The combat is fun but shallow and traversal for everyone except Batgirl feels off. Graphically it's good but not what you'd expect out of a triple A title (although the lighting system is legitimately fantastic). It's got an awful and overly complicated gear system and ugly, clunky UI. And lack of a performance mode is strange. Overall the game feels floaty and unpolished. But there's so much there to work with and build from. It's really not as bad as some of these reviews suggest. There's fun to be had, and the story does a lot of heavy lifting. Just temper expectations and you'll have a good time. This reminds me of the first Assassin's Creed. Great ideas, great concept, mediocre execution. But a sequel could really nail it.

    I will say the New Game+ is definitely way better than the base game. At that point the characters actually feel different. Nightwing being great at fast-paced, freeflow combat. Red Hood deals a bunch of damage but is slower, and his gun is insane. Batgirl feels the most like Batman from the Arkham Series. Robin is the best for stealth/predator because of his size/speed.
    This game feels like Batman Arkham Origins in terms of combat (especially if you take off Enemy Health Bars in the "UI"). And it makes sense considering both are published by the same studio.
    If you're a big Comic Book/Story Fan this game is for you. If you are an Arkham fan and want more Freeflow combat this game is for you. If you are an RPG/Souls player, I would recommend Valhalla over Gotham Knights lol.

    I have to disagree with Luke on this one. Saying that they are all the same, because the buttons do the same thing, is like playing Tekken and saying the characters are all the same because they are punch and kick but dressed up in different animations. I've played the game nonstop since it came out and I loved it, I've mostly played as Jason and I can tell the difference when I jump to another characters. Grayson can hop between enemies with ease and his ranged attack comes out slow and are mostly to interrupt shooters, Batgirl is inbtween the two with a beat down approach and quick batarang throws, Robin does more AOE and Elemental damage while his ranged attacks don't don't too much damage. Locking the traversal behind the Knighthood progression is annoying, and the stability is very annoying but underneath it, it's actually a pretty fun game.

Just because new consoles can run older games at 60 (for honor is a hotly debated one that comes to mind) doesn’t mean the “next gen” toasters are going to run new tech and new games at 60fps. And all of you chirping “unacceptable” over and over isn’t going to change that. Look up i7-7700k and 1080Ti. See when those were brand new.

    To be fair, the game does state that in order for more premeditated crimes to show up the next night. You have to collect clues by stopping small crimes. Extra larger crime operations will even show up during the same night depending on the amount of clues you collect. So while you start with three large crime operations, there's a good chance five or so will pop up if you collect more clues. But as you said, it is rather tedious but as you progress the story line. More unique small crimes will show up with some even set up to ambush you.

    I don’t think the low frame rate on its own is the reason people dismiss the game when they see the gameplay. AAA games are expected to make up for what they lack in creativity in technical quality. You brought up red dead redemption 2s frame rate as an example of a game that doesn’t need a high frame rate to be good but red dead redemption 2 was one of the most impressive looking games of the 8th generation. It still was very technically impressive. Arkham knight was able to look infinitely better than Gotham Knights at 30fps on a base ps4 and that game was built in unreal engine 3. Seeing the low frame rate and dismissing the game does not mean that refuse to play every game that doesn’t have a high frame rate. For many it may simply be a refusal to give one’s money to big game studios when they are being lazy.

    Just so you know. You can unlock more premeditated crimes on your map by interrogating criminals at the white and purple triangles. The higher you fill that red magifine glass the more crimes pop up. * Very important you can either scan the criminals to figure out who to interrogate or look for the person with the higher level. I suggest leaving that person last

    So basically, the devs decided: "let's remove what made the Arkham games cool and put some mobile gameplay mechanics to pad the game time as much as possible to a point where some kids might pay for the cool stuff with real money (even if they dropped the actual real money part)".
    Amazing, graphics and performance are just the cherry on top, even if the game ran better, there is no "bug fix" for the gameplay loop.

    If you’re a fan of the bat family you’ll like it. The only thing really holding it back is optimization/performance. For that reason I cannot recommend it to everyone. Even mid tier PCs struggle to maintain a decent frame rate. Sadly it’s a story of devs being forced to try and make something run on old consoles (was never going to happen) instead of focusing on new ones.

    All the characters are not even remotely the same. Their talents and momentum skills really set them apart. By the end of the game, you have 4 or 5 momentum bars and should be using them a lot. You can also clear the main story in 7-10 hours which is the best experience per time if you are in a hurry to get more levels. All the reviews have been overly harsh in my opinion. My son bought it and shared it with me and I have been pleasantly surprised.

Ok sure they all punch, they all have ranged, however the skills is what sets them apart. They all do NOT have the same set of skills at ALL. Red hood is really focused on guns and crit damage, Robin is stealth/predator type attacks. He can string people up on perches and take out big brawlers with stealth attacks. Other characters cannot. Red hood cannot take them out, however in a fight he can grab the bigger enemies and grab them place a mine on it and then can shoot it to detonate it. No other character can do that. ......failing to see how they are the same. That's just me I guess *shrugs*

    Loving the game solo, and co op with a buddy, the side missions really blew me away, no spoilers but the one side mission for a certain chilly foe was unexpected. The easter eggs and little comments made around the city about your character (got asked if I was Deathstroke playing as red hood) really make it more immersive than I expected. The devs really put in some thought into the story and details in the city. Go in with an open mind and you might enjoy it, also for my biggest complaint would be the combat can be slow at times, but that's because I just came off of playing Arkham Knight and you can zip around a whole room in seconds.

    I actually quite like the night system. Especially when you play on the hardest difficulty, part of the challenge is prioritizing which crimes you're going to stop and doing as much as you can on your patrol before you use up all your healthpacks and the thugs you fight whittle you down to the point that even trying to stop a small mugging is potentially dangerous. It adds a risk/reward element where you can gain the rewards for another stopped crime but suffer the penalties of being defeated if you fail.

      I knew something was up near the very beginning of the game. Batman tells the sidekicks that the police are corrupt and can’t be trusted since Jim died. One of the first missions you’re sneaking through GCPD and hear two cops talking. They’re saying how this freak they took in did something awful outside of one of their kids schools and one of the cops says something like “I’d pay money to get some alone time with that freak” but he gets talked down and decides not to. These are the evil corrupt Gotham police? They’re making the morally and professionally correct decision based on their rules while they’re alone in the GCPD? It was just really weird
