Gotham Knights is a game that I've found enjoyable in both, Single-Player & Co-op on my first playthrough.
This, is coming from a guy who struggled with the Batman Trilogy. I've found myself glued to Gotham Knights though for some odd reason.
(To be noted: Aside from the fact it's DC, Gotham Knights isn't connected to the Batman Arkham Trilogy).

Pro's:
+ It has a rich main story that is lore friendly.
+ Interesting side characters & optional side missions with memorable villains like Dr. Freeze, Harley Quinn & Clayface.
+ Plenty of different factions & enemies to take on, from The Mob, The Regulators, The Freaks, to the League of Shadows & The Court of Owls.
+ Great Graphics, Cinematic Cut-scenes & Audio. Voice acting is top quality.
+ Large map to do a vast amount of crime fighting in.
+ Challenges & Trials which test your combat proficiency & Traversal speeds. This can also provide you with extra gear modifications & visual cosmetics (Like a fancy new crime-fighting suit).
+ Can be enjoyed solo, or with a friend.
+ New Game+.

Con's:
- Epic Online Services (EOS).
- Movement & combat can feel very fluid, yet very janky at the same time. It's honestly a little hard to describe.
- When playing Co-op, your partner's character doesn't appear in cut-scenes. This is kind've important to me (but maybe not so much too others), because it slightly breaks the immersion to have Batgirl suddenly appear out of nowhere from a Cut-scene that only showed Nightwing. (Just as an example).

There aren't that many cons in my opinion because I genuinely believe that this game is quality & worth buying at a 30% Discount. I'm 33 hours in & haven't finished the main story, but I can definitely see myself replaying this game several more times in the future.
Worth it, 9.5/10!
(By the way, thanks for the gift Slug!)
