Not much going on here, just a typical soulless AAA game which is a shame, since Arkham Origins was great, so clearly the devs are competent. It felt like playing a free to play MMORPG that last minute was converted into a "premium" title.
It would've fitted the ARPG format way better, akin to X-Men Legends or Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Can only recommend playing this in coop, since as a single player experience it's extremely shallow.

Combat feels stiff and clunky, and voice acting is subpar and sometimes terrible, especially for the common enemies that you fight. The looting and gear system is uninteresting and grindy at times. Currently dropped 5 hours in, but maybe I’ll pick it up again and play it with a friend since that was one of the main selling points and the story does intrigue me.
Gotham Knights isn't terrible, but it's definitely a missed opportunity. Combat feels kinda clunky, the open world Gotham is surprisingly bland, and the story never really grabbed me. I liked being able to switch between the four heroes on the fly, and there's definitely some fun to be had... but honestly, the Arkham games are way better. If you have to have your Batman fix, it's alright, but it's not the Gotham game we've been waiting for.
Nur gespielt weil man die Batman Arkham Reihe mag und natürlich wird man dann enttäuscht. War wahrscheinlich die falsche Herangehensweise an das Spiel, aber das rettet es auch nicht vor der Mittelmäßigkeit. Die Große Schandtat an Superheldenspielen hat sich kürzlich ja sowieso die offizielle Fortsetzung von Arkham Knight zu Eigen gemacht.
Aside from the Batman IP and occasional stealth sections, nothing that made the previous games great remains. Fans of the excellent Arkham series will be very disappointed.
This is basically a third-person action RPG, similar to many games that have tried to copy Destiny. This could have been a pretty solid top-down ARPG, if only the publisher had the guts to go for it.

I have much in common with this game; I'm also not as good as Batman. Each of the four playable Batman sidekicks is remarkably less capable than their mentor. There's also no incentive to play as a particular character, so once you've picked one, you undoubtedly won't bother switching. Enemies become such massive damage sponges that I dropped the difficulty to Easy in the last chapter. It wouldn't be an issue if you engaged in the numerous copy-and-paste missions on the city map. While I believe that RPG elements make games more interesting, this was the exception to the rule.
(5/10)
Pese a que el juego me ha divertido en algunos tramos y me ha aburrido en muchísimos otros, no podría recomendarlo.
El juego tiene cosas que están bien, pero hay otras que no entiendo que las haga peor que los Batman Arkham: el feel del combate, el sigilo tosco y torpe, un desplazamiento tan aburrido o unas actividades secundarias tan sosísimas.
Además, se queda a medio gas entre una aventura con loot y el juego como servicio y el resultado es nefasto. Tampoco entiendo que haya cuatro personajes a elegir y ninguno de ellos se diferencia por más allá de unas cuantas habilidades.
