Has 72 on Metacritic currently.

Sounds like another game that's a step down compared to older stuff because of the focus in coop and other AAA game bullshit.

It doesnt help that the oddly brief campaign is padded out with busywork, like repeated sections where you have to wander around Gotham interrogating a string of different criminal factions headed by everyone from Harley Quinn to Mr. Freeze to gather clues about the next story development, and side quests to unlock table stakes features like fast travel. (That one has you visiting every part of the map to stand around and scan drones for no discernable reason.) In between all those chores, youll also have to contend with the RPG elements that force you to grind and min-max equipment before the next story mission can be tackled. All of these things do little more than drag out a story thats rarely worth the squeeze, and make the pacing even more of a drag than it already is.

*Sigh*

- PC with 4090 GPU and DLSS has framerate drops to 50fps
- Series S has the most stable framerate due to no ray tracing
- PS5 and Xbox Series X have framerate drops and stuttering issues

Looks like a bit of a mess

I Have no idea why the devs chose to never expand the Arkam universe outside of Gotham. That was a massive mistake that could have opened endless doors.

WB is garbage, its a shame that lotr games like shadow of war and batman games like arkham are under the WB umbrella

A lot of that summary could have fit shadow of war. AAA western studios are the absolute worst, a good idea and potentially good game is buried under all the money grubbing techniques that the modern era of online has brought

They are actually. Next game is "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League".

Also this game was developed by WB Games Montreal. Suicide Squad is Rocksteady.

Is it the same author? You probably shouldn't take two reviews years apart as indicative of the entire site's credibility, especially if they were by different authors.

Rumor is they were working on a Damien Wayne Batman game that got cancelled. Then, they started development on Gotham Knights.

Shillup pointed out that there may be traces of live service elements ala Avengers like cosmetics, tiered loots and multiple currencies which they probably scrapped. That could've eaten some of the dev time

Personnel-wise, it may not make sense to even consider them the same studio that they were back then.

We need more co-op games. There simply aren't enough.

However this push for huge multiplayer games has changed how the industry sees things.
Games like Army of Two, Left 4 Dead, the Halo games, Gears of War, etc were super super popular and the coop was a beloved part of it.

Lmao they justified not having 60fps for seamless co-op but apparently it's because they're shitty developers.

Definately wait for a price drop. Playstation access live streaming it now on youtube, the combat doesn't look too bad in co op. Haven't seen any co op beatdowns, game looks really choppy in some sections.

It's really annoying too because an Arkham follow up would have been an easy slam dunk.

Spider-Man sold fucking crazy and they come out with another generic loot coop game that plays worse than the originals? It's insane the sheer amount of developers who have fallen for this trap in the last decade. It's like Destiny friend some developer brains or something.

Sad thing is the Suicide Squad looks to be heading towards very similar shit. At least that one looks nice.

Gotham Knights isn't necessarily a follow up to the Arkham games. Though, it's obviously strongly inspired by it. Kind of like a spiritual successor.
Suicide Squad Kills The Justice League is (narratively) a continuation of the Arkham games since it's supposedly set in the same universe.
