Not once does the team all come together – not even in the ending, simply focusing on one character. It's a game designed for all four characters yet doesn't culminate in any way. I tried to treat Gotham Knights as such but there's a clear disconnect. It's long overdue and a shame that Warner Bros still won't commit to one since there's a major lack of female-led protagonists in the industry. Several small things like this happened throughout with characters referencing the group as if they were one person. For instance, I completed a mission as Robin where he left beaten and bruised, only for Nightwing to be the one who is being patched up by Alfred in the next scene. It also makes for a number of scenes that straight-up don't match. With only a single team member able to take on a level from a story perspective, this doesn't give any of them room to grow. I just wish these factors were applied during the story instead of one-off arcs. Jason, who is still mentally recovering from the effects of being brought back to life from a Lazarus Pit, especially offers a different perspective. Short cutscenes like Tim learning how to play chess from Alfred, or Barbara trying to remember her father's face now that he's passed, do a decent job of giving us a window into their world. I appreciate the day/night cycle, as it makes more sense than the events of the Arkham titles taking place over the course of one night.Ĭharacter moments are one of the few saving graces in Gotham Knights. Then on a night, one (or two via online co-op) of the superheroes set off into Gotham to continue their investigations, stop criminal acts and collect an abundance of meaningless collectibles.

In the wake of the Batcave being destroyed, the Belfry acts as a base of operation where the group piece together clues and make preparations during the day.

Set in its own universe away from the Arkham games, it's up to the vigilantes to solve Bruce's last case and find out how this all connects to a mysterious secret society known as the Court of Owls. Now the remaining Bat-Family of Barbara Gordon (Batgirl), Tim Drake (Robin), Dick Grayson (Nightwing) and Jason Todd (Red Hood), alongside Alfred handling comms, need to restore justice to the city. Gotham's criminals have begun to take over in the aftermath. Interactive Entertainment)īatman is dead.
