Once I got to know these versions of the characters, I liked them all a lot.
But because it doesn’t spend much time introducing themat the start and often refers to them in a collective way, it takes some time to get attached to these unfamiliar versions of iconic sidekicks. Cutscenes in each character’s sidequests and the Belfry, the Bat Family’s new base of operations, eventually flesh out these characters. As the opening focuses on Batman’s death and what that affects so heavily, it takes time to get to know these new versions of Nightwing, Red Hood, Robin, and Batgirl. It does take a little bit to get going, though. Freeze, and Clayface are also all entertaining, and I hope more Case Files like these are added postlaunch. The lengthy sidequests featuring Harley Quinn, Mr. Once I got to know the whole cast, it was exciting to see how this world deviates from what we know and how a faction like the Court of Owls managed to operate under Batman’s nose for so long. As such, the narrative was consistently able to surprise and entertain me with its twists and unique takes on classic (and very played-out) Batman characters like The Penguin. The narrative was consistently able to surprise and entertain me with its twists and unique takes on classic Batman characters …ĭespite the marketing emphasizing the Court of Owls, this is not a one-to-one adaptation of that comic book story. They’re up against newly empowered gangs causing mayhem, a GCPD that doesn’t want to work with vigilantes anymore, and increased efforts to control Gotham by some secret societies at the center of Batman’s final case. Following his death at the start of the game, it doesn’t take long for the Bat Family of Nightwing, Red Hood, Batgirl, and Robin to learn of his demise and then take on the responsibility of defending Gotham themselves.
Killing off Batman is a bold narrative hook that makes Gotham Knights stand out from any Batman games that came before it. Still, it overcomes those flaws to entertain Batman fans who have always wanted to play a game that lets them explore and defend the streets of Gotham with a friend. It’s not as good as the best Batman games from the last decade due to a lack of gameplay ambition and performance issues. After playing through almost everything the game offers, the reality is that Gotham Knights ultimately lands somewhere in the middle.
