Gotham Knights is a bit of a let down with huge potential to be somewhat actually good but it’s not. It almost feels like it got rushed down the pipeline and THAT can be easily felt within the first hour of gameplay [5 years+ of the development *cough*].

on its own is a first iteration of DC universe 'open world' with co-op: where you can team up with your IRL friends and family to 'fight evil and corruption' of the Gotham city. The roster of toons you can play as is limited to:
‘Bratty’ Bat Girl and three Robins from current: ‘Smol geeky’ Robin (R3), ‘Leadership guru’ Nightwing (R2) and ‘Me smash/shoot’ Red hood (R1).

layout and overall atmosphere setup is extremely good 10/10 eye candy level of detail and immersion with tall buildings to climb on, gliding around it just feels right - you’re in actual Gotham! Alternatively each member of the ‘team batman’ gang gets a fancy futuristic motorbike and further down the story ability to fast travel via tech provided by Lucius Fox.

And here it goes down the hill.. City is empty and completely soulless, road traffic is poor, interaction with NPCs lacks lustre and cringe at best. Every flipping car you will see in game has tinted windows and are indestructible - yes you can’t even pop a tire with your ranged attack because why bother with basic immersion 101. Up to the point that if you obstruct a patch of car or a TRAIN it will just.. stop and honk at you.. That’s literally it.

is mediocre-good without spoilers: It is an enjoyable experience with a few hiccups down the line - looking at you Sweet Baby *cough* nevertheless, a solid 7/10 for what we get out of it.

is slightly worse than you would expect from this genre but I’ll take it 6/10 feels a bit like this meant to be a mobile title to begin with..

Bugs.. are frequent.. from your character glitching into objects, new waves of enemies not spawning properly and getting stuck in doorways to the game simply deciding to randomly crash because.. because I’M BATMAN! 4/10 - Unfinished and untested.

Crafting and gear acquisition is an utterly unbalanced cluster duck with such a small attention to character progression that in some cases you will craft your new shiny equipment just to realise down the road that 30 seconds later you will get a new item that outperforms it.. With the true end game gear hidden behind extremely repetitive grind fest that we all gamers love.. 3/10

Overall selling point and why I am playing it.. is co-op and gorgeous city. So in brief summary: It's a social beat 'em up to have a laugh with a friend and take screenshots.

Generous 5/10 Can't recommend.. but it's playable.
