With the Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League on the way, I wanted to dig into the video game archive for Batman. Since we've covered so much of the Arkham trilogy, I wanted to go left and see how Gotham Knights feels after all the updates.

Currently playing this game with my little brother. We take turns switching characters every night; He plays as Robin and I play as Red Hood. The flaws are so abundant in this game but I can’t deny the fun I have too while playing.
This is the most frustrating thing with games like this. There's clearly opportunity for something great here, but that they fumbled so many things is just really frustrating, especially when games made over a decade earlier already did many of those things so well.
@@BucklingSwashes💯
And thats what its all about.
Its dumb fun.
@@imperialshroom yea because the game is not executed to its full potential. So “dumb fun” can only be had.
Dumb fun is not an excuse for mediocrity or bad video games.
I just want 60fps ffs
Post Suicide Squad launch: perhaps we treated Gotham Knights too harshly
At least Gotham Knights isn't canon
@@battlep0t Gotha, Knights is canon. Just a different universe and has nothing to do with Arkham series.
@@richardshiflett5181with a few change kill the justice could’ve easily fired in the Gotham knights universe
and this game atleast treated Batman with more respect, even his death scenes
Yes
One thing I always loved about this game is that not only the BEAUTIFULLY animated takedowns for each character, but also how the dialogue changes in cutscenes depending on which character you’re playing as.
I actually enjoyed Gotham Knights and never understood the hate…that is until I went back and played Arkham Knight and realized how much fun and visually stunning it is. Gotham Knights is still a fun game to play though, just odd cause I’m sure we all expected something good as the Batman’s games or even better
The hate is that it’s a trash game
@@crazygamingyt7245 bro read the first sentence and his anger issues took over
@@crazygamingyt7245but how other than the quality and them bringing back Bruce just to kill him again how is it bad people always hates games for no reasons which gets to a point where people hate it just because somebody else said it was bad
I bought it yesterday. I've already been playing for about 20 hrs, going at my speed and I love the game. It's much better with co-op but I'm loving the whole concept of the crimes and collecting evidence. I HATE the bomb missions because they're so tricky 😂 but they're still fun
Facts bro don’t listen to hate, this game is fun af , nightwing W
@@ceaserknk6640game is trash af nightwing looks like he’s on HRT
This game could have been so much more 😢😢😢
Atleast it aint Suicide squad kills the jutice league
Not gonna lie, I did have a good amount of fun with this game. The gameplay was smooth and the hits felt weighty and hard. I liked that each playable character had their own unique abilities and little arc. The story kind of fell flat, but overall it was a fun game I’d give it a 7/10
I played this a few months back. The worst part for me was how it felt like the boss fights were all the same. We’ve seen these villains in too many other games and other media to tolerate something where their unique abilities don’t lead to different gameplay.
Worst part was the co-op bugs, and glitches while riding the bikes.. and the EMPTY big waste of a city. Generic, empty, lifeless. Drive for 5 minutes to next marker while absolutely nothing happens, boring ugly city, and no action while driving. What a bore to travel around. The bosses were horrible, the story was a massive let down like 3-4 villains lol. Didn't like the character models or performances at all. Batman not being playable is madness. The entire game was the biggest let down arguably ever in gaming history to me considering I've been dying for a Bat family game since forever. Rocksteadys next game was it, everything about Arkham Knight suggested the next one would be co-op with batmobile, bikes, batwing, batcave.. Why the hell did Rocksteady have to give it to WB Montreal, and do Suicide Squad.. we needed ONE MORE Arkham. Biggest let down ever. Still so angry with this game. Arkham Knight 8 years prior still blows this crap out of the water. Rant over lol.
We don’t need another Arkham game and I’ll die on this hill
@@ReadyPlayerTomVRthe city is actually smaller than the Gotham City in Arkham Knight.😂
I enjoyed Gotham Knights, played through it 3 times. Love Barb, the map is amazing, the thugs suck tho and are in no way shape or form intimidating but the story ain’t bad, it may be 30fps but the combat and stuff isn’t bad and it’s very well detailed. It’s second to Arkham Origins as the most underrated superhero games.
Better then suicide squad surprisingly I’d rather fight bummy villians than purple Aliens
After that suicide squad game. Perhaps i was too harsh to GK
Perhaps I was too harsh to touch some grass 😅
@vitadude5004 that's sad for you caring for someone's opinion 😮
@@vitadude5004bro you have anime on your pfp
@@Dontclickmychannellll yet we are more outgoing, meeting people with same interest, parting and fukin some cosplay bitches than compare to brain dead toxic gamers 😂
I'm playing this game with my teen sister and she's loving playing as Robin. The only thing that I didn't really like is that I kinda leveled up too much and got too strong at around halfway throughthe game, so I'm doing sidequests and main quests aimed at levels 9-15... While I'm level 30. But that was kinda my fault, I was having fun solving crimes and fighting with each character. I will probably have a better experience on New Game Plus.
Btw, I'm using a dub in a different language (Brazilian Portuguese), and I feel they did an excellent job. I tried playing it with the English dub, which I usually prefer, but I didn't really like it.
I still enjoyed the game for what it was.
so you enjoy mid
@@MalikATL Never said that.
@@DeadPhoenix86DPdont listen to these trolls im glad that u enjoyed it.
@@UltimateInklingwe are living in a world now where mid = bad.. its dumb tbh
@@MrSkullMerchantYes man it’s sounds so dumb I got tired of hearing that In parties last year
I've enjoyed playing through this with a friend. I haven't played it to the end but stopping street crimes is always a great time, and the Court of Owls is always a cool plot. I think we will realize how good we had it when we're playing the new Suicide Squad game... 😅
oh boy did this comment age like fine wine LOL
@@pipeanp lol
This was my first Batman game but beside batgirl and Penguin I didn't know anyone so I had no expectations. The game holds 120 fps most of the time and aiming with keyboard and mouse works well. The upgraded red guy can aim and deals masiv damage if you tap heads.
You know, Suicide Squad's gameplay could've been forgiven if WB proved that they could manage a game like this. But they clearly do not with how Gotham Knights turned out. And with the generally negative impressions & most of Rocksteady's already jumping ship, Suicide Squad's failure seems inevitable.
Gotham knights was made by another developer
@@crusadusgamingWhich was WB Montreal like Christmas Arkham Origins
It ain’t even out yet, you’re shooting the messenger before it can even say it’s piece 💀
I just started playing a couple nights ago and I'm about 7 hours in. And honestly I'm having alot of fun with it. I should have known it wasn't as bad as everyone said... in today's age, if a game isn't a 9 or 10 than it's a 2.. it's bullshit. Just like forspoken.. everyone acted like it's a 2/10 but in actuality its a solid 6.5-7/10. It's not a bad game by any means but it's not great. Gotham knights so far is pretty damn fun, I'm playing it completely solo and so far I'd give it a 7.5/10. Don't listen to people saying this game is awful, give it a shot and make your own decision. People get caught up with rhe hate and just want to get as many views as they can
After seeing SSKTJL this game looks like a masterpiece......
SSKTJL will make any game Loook like a masterpiece
I still really like this game
Been wondering about Gotham knights not getting new content like they promised
Man I liked playing this game, even with friends it was dope.
thats good u do most people hate it solo and otherwise
I played a good chunk of this before I got burnt out. Every night I would run through the city and do literally everything there was to do and in the next night I would pick a different character and run through the city and do everything there is to do, however, I would keep storylines tied to a specific character. Mr freeze was Batgirl playface was Nightwing Robin and Red Hood had various things they were doing. The shortcoming definitely almost outweighs the positives on this game. The combat for me was fun and I enjoyable especially kicking ass and penguins nightclub to his dope ass beats lol definitely made combat so much more fun. I enjoyed the banter between all four characters especially with Alfred who kept them glued together as their surrogate grandfather. Overall it was a pleasant game and I definitely intend to go back and finish it and Platinum it. Also Batgirl has got nice cake!!!
I just bought this game while it was on sale. I knew about the criticism but i saw a fair amount of praise, so i thought I'd try it out. I haven't been able to stop playing it since. At first i was really annoyed with it, it's still buggy this long after release, the combat is sometimes clunky, and the story isn't the most creative, but once i was able to get into the flow i started having so much fun. Honestly i think if they made a sequel, I'd look forward to seeing if they improve as a studio, because there's certainly potential. The cute character moments in the belfry really sold it for me, as well as the gear upgrades. So yeah, not the best game, but I only consider one game to be flawless, and I've enjoyed worse games. I'm really glad i gave it a chance.
I played this when it was on gamepass. I had more fun with it than I thought I would. Still not that great. But I found fun within it. The court of owls is an interesting entity. The costumes look cool. The combat was repetitive. But I really liked the interactions between the bat family.
Playing this game in coop with a friend on game pass and we are having a lot of fun. Decent game.
Playing with friends can make anyth8ng fun
People talk bad about games like avengers and Gotham knights because they compare them to older games. You have to enjoy the game for what it is.
The costume design in this game are underrated
I really enjoyed Gotham Knights myself. Got too much hate being compared to Arkham.
comparing this game to suicide squad now, I think that gotham knights would;ve been such a better experience if it went live service now. they should've made this game part of the arkham verse instead of suicide squad
When it comes to the cutscenes with all four characters what were you expecting branching paths and storylines that just doesn't make sense and that's unreasonable of course it's going to have the same outcome but it's interesting to see what each character says differently I specifically remember a scene between talia and res hood we're pretty much every character has a different interaction with talia and she has different lines of dialogue for each character
I bet he looks back on this video like it’s 2020
I love this game. I thought the gear stuff and everything would be confusing, and it would glitch every few seconds trying to load the map, but no. I'm a good three-ish hours in, and it's just fun. Good. Just, averagely good.
who doesn't like playing as Batgirl ?!?! She's 🔥🔥🔥! Love her move set too. But all in all, really like this game, haven't quite finished it yet tho'...
Gotham Knights is fine and fun.
This game had so much potential and man was it wasted. I saw a game where I can finally play as nightwing, who can be fully kitted out instead of a bare bones Arkham dlc but instead we got a stiff, no flow combat system, with the same animation spammed for each character and a dodge that felt horrible to perform. This is the only time I ever felt like I wasted my money on a game and man was I sad. P.S. the story was so obvious that it made me genuinely wonder what the point of adding the Batman’s dead thing to another story where he gets revived by the league and then killed again. Don’t even get me started on the tragic waste of one of the coolest Batman villains, the court of owls.
It's crazy how little they cared at some points like I remember I started a mission as Robin and when he dropped into the fight he said "hi guys, my name is Robin"
What these WB studios should have made-
WB Montreal - a Mortal Kombat Arkham-like or a Court of Owls single player Batman game,
Rocksteady - a Matrix game
Someone should remake one of these maps with Arkham combat/stealth just to show what this game could've been. Even better if they made like 4 sections of the story and wrote each one for one character.
I don't know man. This game looks pretty good
Bad*
Picked it up on sale and it’s good! Is it Arkham good? No, but lets be real here if you went in expecting Arkham or better you’re straight up delusional. It’s just a fun superhero game to play alone or with buddies. If you have worn out your copies of the Arkham series this is still a really fun game. We didn’t know how good we had it till SSKTKL. This is a far better game than whatever the hell that is.
I'm a huge Batman and DC-Universe fan, i became it on february 2024 as a birthday present from my husband. Now i finally play it today. ❤
Thought everybody should know this game is infact not in the same world as the Arkham Games. This falls under the multiverse elseworld stories.
After actually playing Gotham Knights due to it coming to Game pass, I truly do not understand the hate. I feel like the hate just came from the fact that it wasn't up to par compared to the Arkham series. But honestly at this point I feel like comparing games to the Arkham series is just unrealistic. All of the Arkham games were and still are some of the best games ever made. It's hard to stack up to them.
With better technology and game development getting easier than before (still hard and complex but easier) what is the excuse for all these modern day failures 😢😡
Wasn’t expecting the Smite shoutout!
It's impossible not to at least like Smite c'mon. It' the only MOBA I find enjoyable as a Single Player Gamer. I actually have more than 5k hours on it
My bought it for deep discount and played with my buddies. We had more fun playing GK than playing SS.
wait... so you've played SS already ?? How?
@@TheActs2021 I was in the closed Alpha that took place in Nov-Dec. The story/character interactions were fun, but gameplay wasn't anything special. I'd play it on Gamepass, but no way would I recommend a day one purchase.
@@__Weasel__ I've enjoyed Gotham Knights too contrary to what everyone else has said.
Game was collecting dust and never even bothered to try after all the bad reactions on the web. Now I may try it.
I like the skill tree a lot it's a good progression system , we'll paced. Even Arkham games had unlockable skill tree for different moves ( apart from the gadgets )
I’ve seen ppl that actually bothered to get good and they made the game look amazing sometimes the game is a reflection of you’re creativity if your a basic player you’ll get a basic experience if you’re someone uses the tools they give u u can have a create an experience.
The gear and levelling systems in Gotham Knights really put me off, even before we saw the questionable design decisions with the teleporting, magic double jumping and the fortnite glider. I’m also not interested in Suicide Squad for similar reasons. If i want to get a fix of Gotham, i’ll go back to an old Arkham game
If this got a sequel, they could fix all the issues and really live up to their potential! I still play this game to this day
I think we all own gotham knights an apology after suicide squad got released
It's really cool to see videos on games that were destroyed on launch due to performance issues and bugs and see how they have improved after some time has passed and they have been patched up and see if they have improved, it be down to see more of these, maybe take another look at Jedi Survivor or the Metal Gear collection
Even IF Suicide Squad turns out pretty decent, WB slashes their prices so early it’ll be $30 by Black Friday so it’s hard to justify a Day One purchase on a game that doesn’t prioritize singleplayer and might be coming in buggy.
I'm currently playing through this and I find it flows better playing as only one character rather than bouncing between them. Also once I detached it from the Arkhamverse I began enjoying it more.
Matty, i think you are correct in pointing out the writing. Main beef. If Batman died im sure it would have been a much more mature comic adaptation. Thanks. Great content.
better than getting shot in the face by Harley quinn
I got a physical copy for $10 for Xbox and think it was good for that price lol
It's free on PS 😂
He does know this not an Arkham game right, like they said MULTIPLE TIMES, This isn't an Arkham game
That’s why it failed
Playing this game for the 1st time now. All I can say is batgirl has a bakery and on the bat cycle it’s a mobile bakery.
She's 16
@@Eric-rl3mb oh. No, quick she kills people in game to!! Those guys are 16 too!! Omfg!! Gtfoh
I feel like the main problem for this game for everyone was the fact no one could just stop comparing it to the Arkham games like idk why people keep doing it cuz this game is a COMPLETELY different game so the comparisons mean nothing. To me it’s me comparing Marvel Midnight Sons to Marvel Ultimate Alliance they are two completely different games so just stop making comparisons that they weren’t even trying to develop to the game to begin with they aren’t supposed to be the same.
Doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve the criticism for the bad stuff tho
I had to get my man Mr. Marty back in the(algo)rhythm.
That drop with Jake helped. The channel team ups are cool occasionally. Who didn’t like their favorite shows crossing over as a kid?
Remove all the numbers and attack points from enemies and its way better
Compared to SS this was amazing I actually enjoyed it far more.
Anything is good compared to ss bro
I really enjoyed this game when I played it middle of last year. Obviously not a perfect game and the framerate was pretty terrible. But the graphics are good, story was solid enough and I had quite a bit of fun playing through it. Seems like the overall sentiment from the comments is that most people liked it well enough for what it was.
This game is fine. It's nothing to write home about, but it's okay. I had a lot of fun with it. Playing with friends would be way better, though. The DLCs are free and somewhat bad because the characters end up needing to be leveled up individually, and that sucks, especially when the game play can get repetitive over time. I'd give 3/5 as player score and that's it. Since you can get your hands on this one pretty cheap for such a long time now, I don't see why not to try it out. But if you are low on time, totally skip this one. If you like to grind (I do, it helps me relax) this one can be somewhat fun. The game is not broken, works just fine, the story is likeable and don't last too long. Oh, and easy platinum as well.
It seems like the story got rushed and the writing wasn’t all that.. I haven’t played it but graphically it’s on point enough and gameplay looks fun enough. Just as most Batman or DC fans we expect the writing to reflect a cinematic experience
Gotham knights seems like Arrow episode back in the 2013
Don't play as just one character. Switch between them and play them all at once in one playthrough.
I feel really dumb but i tried it for the first time a few days ago and only played a little but got to the point it just said " find crime around gotham" or something like that and i was driving around for like 10 mins and couldnt find anything. I ended up punching some random civilians i thought were bad people lol
Very retro!!
Just bought this game because I'm trying to collect games you can't get on the last gen on consoles.
Despite its flaws, i was genuinely enjoying this game. But, i was hit with a bug deleting +30 hours of game time progress. I was furious
As a kid playing arkham city i always dreamed of playing a game where you can free roam/play as robin night wing red hood. I want this game bad but i dont want to spend a good 60$ for a shitty game.
This game still looks better than Suicide Squad 😳
I know a lot of people are hating on suicide squad but i'm gonna try it out for myself still. I also just want to hear kevin conroy play batman one last time.
Honestly bro, same here
I really like this game, its got its flaws, but me and my best friend had an absolute blast with it, just like im sure we will next week with suicide squad
I haven't played GK but i bet compared to SS it's a masterpiece
Hey Matty. Just because I'm weird I'm gonna let you know if you don't want that 16:9 image stretched on that CRT set the xbox to 480p to get a letter box aspect ratio. Yes it will be smaller but at least the image wont be distorted. Keep up the good work.
Suicide squad kill the justice league was so bad I’m open to giving this game a second chance
I will say this , one of the clayface bosses I want to to say the final one maybe took me a while I could not figure out what to do
Coming out on gamepass really improved my rating for this game
Great video you made some good points. Thank you for taking the time to make this I waited till it was 15$ for that price I have definitely got my money’s worth I enjoy it for that price but 60$ plus would be laughable. I think people should really be upset when they stop trying to fix it. My favorite part about batgirl… 😜 uh I mean the game is looking at that…🤤 Damn I wish she was real ❤❤❤ F I N E.
Did you say one good thing? This game has some nice animations in combat, and in take downs. Its a lot of fun playing in co-op and clearing a room in stealth. I am sorry dude maybe you didn't understand the timing with combat cause it can be pretty fast. I know you said you had a hard time understanding the crafting and menu. Comparing this to Arkham game is just silly, and thats all you did.
because the tards released a batman oriented charcter game with less smoothness and gameplay of previous games..., i tried to play gotham knights and it doesnt play near as good as the arkam titles, I only go back to older games when the controls dont stop me when game from 2022/23 gameplay sucks and controls feel stiff thats an issue when sonic adventure 2 even on dreamcast felt better than this...
This game is so trash compared to Arkham all you fan boys are scared of compare them
@@crazygamingyt7245 6 month old comment by me, but ok. The Arkham games are better. Never said that they aren't. They are also very different. If I am any kinda "fan-boy" it would be Arkham. Its ok to like different games or not like them. Also what does your comment bring to the table as far as comparing them?
It would've been better if the game started with you as Batman along with the Bat-family dealing with a situation orchestrated by Joker at City Hall. Upon defeating him Joker gets sent to Arkham Asylum.
Time skips by six months and the main plotline kicks in. The player, as Batman, goes to Arkham Asylum. On route Batgirl contacts Batman to tell him she'll meet him at the Asylum and that Robin, Nightwing and Red Hood are dealing with Ivy in Bludhaven.
Upon getting to Arkham Batman finds Joker dead and Batgirl completely Joker-infected. Realising he's been led into a trap, the course of the narrative sees Batman discover that Batgirl (now The Jester) is hacking into all of his weapons and vehicles in preparation to attack Gotham.
The game has flaws that are very obvious from the start honestly, but I still lots had fun when I got it with ps plus essential. Definitely wasn’t worth the price it was at launch but getting it for like $30 is worth it in my opinion. I played with Batgirl and Robin mainly.
I was excited when this game trailer came out but was bummed when everyone said it sucked, so i never got it. I know at this point it has some updates but honestly, im enjoying myself. The writing and story isnt great at all, traversal isnt fantastic, but even that im not incredibly upset with. Its not a fantastic game for sure but its fun for a little while. Honestly think it gets too much hate. Compared to the other games, and the fact its supposed to have some what of a connection, it definitely falls off there. But just as a game where you get to be all those other characters, its pretty sweet. Combat is fun, its got simple mechanics that make me feel bad ass, traveling with a grappling hook feels good, lot of different costume and accessories. Im not too far but 5 or so hours in, its fine
I don't hate this game. I can only handle it in short bursts but I do still enjoy playing it. I think we were spoiled with Arkham because of you look at any other Batman game outside the Arkham series this would be right behind them. I loved Vengeance and Batman Begins but Arkham Knights is far better than those and those were arguably the two best Batman games before Arkham.
Ima play it for myself can’t trust these reviewers they shat on Arkham Origins and now years latter people say it’s underrated reviewers are just jaded and just go along with what other UA-camrs say im pretty sure most of them don’t even finish the games and if they do they just rush through them in order to review and that’s obviously not gonna be a good experience
man i loveddd this game when it came out tbh.
I got this game for 14 dollars through steam a few months ago. Still gotta play it
It sucks how no studio can make anything Batman related without having to be exactly like Arkham. Maybe that’s why there is still no Superman game
Because Arkham is the besr gaming formula Gotham knights looks like a live service game mixed with a mobile game 😂
I legitimately enjoy this game.
I just 240% Arkham knight. Wanted to try Gotham knights, and it’s just not as enjoyable gameplay wise. So far I like the characters and writing, but the gameplay is just so slow. Things that should feel fast are slow, things that are fast throw me off so much because I’m used to being slow, but for whatever reason I’m really enjoying it so far.
It's a good game. It got low scores, because casuals don't like playing anything other than Batman, and it doesn't spoon fed you comic lore like the Arkham games do. It's better than Spiderman 2.
Debating on playing this since it's included with my subscription so all i would lose is time and ssd space
But even bad games are fun with long time friends
Reviews Gotham Knights in 2022: "Yup, this game sucks"
Reviews Gotham Knights in 2024: "Yup, this game still sucks"
What were you expecting? 😂 Love the channel but I prefer when you cover games you haven't done before
I personally don't like the trend of super heros looting like it's Destiny or something. Marvel's Avengers failed at that, Gotham Knights was meh, and this new Suicide Squad game seems to be going down the same route...make more games like Insomniac does pls, they did not deserve that huge hack
I don’t understand why people hate on it so much?? I loved this game on my first play through and playing it with friends is so fun
End of the day people are acting like suicide squad is just getting straight up bad reviews and that’s it the reviews are mixed at best and I’ve seen a lot of haters being shut up after watch more which is nice to see one things for sure it’s going to be better than gotham knights if anyone dosnt agree that’s cool your opinion just stay on the hate train
I heavily enjoyed this game. 😊😊
Is there any dlc plans for GK in 2024 ??
I like this game. Its not good, but its fun which is a differnt kind of good
