  “Gotham Knights is a good game that’s dragged down by a few mechanics that don’t belong here. The story, characters and gameplay are really fun – boosted by a nice looking open world and tons of quests to do The fact that all of this has to be done in 30fps (console only) is a big problem though.” – Luuc ten Velde (XGN / 75)

• “Gotham Knight’s insistence on being a modern open-world RPG leads to some gameplay issues and painfully generic mechanics – but there’s still a lot to be enjoyed here and an immersive storyline. It might not be Arkham, but it’s good enough in its own way.” – Shubhankar Parijat (Gamingbolt / 70)
• “Both better and worse than you’d expect. With some fun co-op and detective elements – but weak combat system and confused storytelling.” – Cheri Faulkner (Metro GameCentral / 60)
• “Gotham Knights is one of the Game of the Year candidates along with Elden Ring. The fast and action-packed combat system is only surpassed by a story that hooked me from the first cutscene. A ‘must play’ for all fans of the open world titles – and without question for anyone who cares about the Gotham Knights or the DC Universe.” – Blaine Smith (Gamer’s Heroes / 95)
• “Gotham Knights is a lackluster attempt at the Batman mythos that feels like a massive step backwards – compared to what came before it. Whether it’s the monotonous combat system, sub-par 30 FPS on console, lack of co-op incentives […] or the fact that exploring Gotham is boring and slow. Nothing justifies its existence.” – Matthew Forde (T3/40)
