Gotham Knights reviewed by Travis Northup on Xbox Series X/S. Aslo available on PlayStation 5 and PC.
"Gotham Knights is a consistently disappointing return to Batman’s troubled city and a distinct step backwards from the past decade-plus of Batman games. Even if running around Gotham in two-player co-op can be decent fun and each of the four playable crime fighters are well executed in their dialogue and distinctive moves, too many of the fundamentals fall short for me to recommend it. From the inconsistent frame rates, to the weak story, to one-note combat that rarely feels good, there was virtually always something going wrong to make sure I wasn’t experiencing the triumphant return with my friends at my side I had envisioned."

The Arkham games and recent Spider-Man game didn’t need health bars because the challenge came down to being skilled enough to adapt to different enemy types. Use your head bro

    • It's like every single change they brought to the table was the wrong one: "Let's get rid of Batman!" "Let's force co-op in a single player franchise!" "Let's make a grindy progression system!" "Let's abandon the series' gritty dark art style with a generic sheen devoid of any distinct style or personality!" This is like a How-To Master's class in how NOT to make a video game.

    • Games are a hell of a lot more expensive to make nowadays. 20 years ago it costed around 1-5 million to make a triple A title, now it costs a minimum of 100 million. With more and more money involved creativity is taken away from studios and investors want proven formulas that bring players in and keep their attention. Now those formulas are outdated and don't work like they use to. Just look at how many times Ubisoft has used the FC/AC formula for over a decade and now players are burnt out.

The PC port was badly handled and the game never really did much after release. The dlc was subpar and they never updated the game to run at higher fps on newer gen consoles. For a high octane arkham game to release nowadays it needs 60 fps
