Our review of Gotham Knights is here. Does this Batman game have wings or is it a joke?
Gotham Knights is a fun but flawed video game, one that tries too hard at times to emulate its Batman: Arkham series predecessors and often struggles at core game mechanics but still offers a compelling storyline and characterization that Batman fans will enjoy. The new open-world action game by WB Games Montréal stars the four protégés of Batman – Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, and Robin – who work together to solve their mentor's final case after the death of Batman.
Without digging too deeply into the story, I was surprised at how relatively focused Gotham Knights was compared to the Arkham series. One of my biggest frustrations with the Arkham series was how it desperately tried to cram every Batman villain into every game, tossing many of them as mere one-off missions or side-quests. In Gotham Knights, each established character from Batman's deep history has a role in the game, especially if they are a villain.
Special abilities are largely activated through the Momentum System, a mechanic in which successful dodges and attacks add Momentum over time that unlocks certain special abilities that can be activated in combat. Players gain more Momentum Abilities by completing side missions in the game either by defeating certain kinds of foes or by stopping certain kinds of crime.
The open world of Gotham Knights is also oddly empty at times and is used more as a staging ground for different missions than as a compelling place to explore. There are plenty of things to do within Gotham Knights , but the missions are mostly limited to stopping a crime in progress, finding some kind of collectible, or scanning a specific landmark within Gotham. There are a few puzzle-based missions that I did enjoy , but the missions get a bit repetitive over time.
