An underwhelming yet somewhat fun title. A must pick up on sale, especially if you have someone to tag along with you.

Gotham Knights is NOT an Arkham game and it does not feel like one. WB was very clear that this was a separate entity to the Arkham franchise as a whole and the direction of the game, style, mechanics and plot all back that up. This is not necessarily bad, they wanted to try something new related to Batman (or the Bat-Family) and not have it attached to a beloved franchise.

It is a fun game, the story actually ends up being quite nice to follow, being able to play as Robin, Red Hood, Nightwing and Batgirl gives you a ton of possibilities especially as they have different skills, moves, abilities and overall just feel like distinct characters instead of reskins of one another. They play different and that is great. The villains also react differently to each character, so their voice lines and interactions end up being unique to the character you bring to the fight, it's a nice detail.

Overall, pick up the game on sale, a 15 to 20 buck price tag fits just right.
