He wrote that Gotham Knights features “an excellent story with top-notch directing and a fun combat system, with lots of unnecessary and confusing mechanics installed on top. If you can get past them, there’s a really great game here.”

on the lower end, giving it a 5/10, IGN“The Gotham Knights are a consistently disappointing return to the turbulent city of Batman and a distinct step back from the past decade plus Batman games,” wrote Travis Northup, “from inconsistent frame rates, to poor story, to one – note the combat that It’s seldom good, there was always something going wrong to make sure I didn’t suffer the triumphant comeback with my friends by my side that I had envisioned.”

VGCJordan Midler praised the game, giving it a 4/5, writing: “The Gotham Knights provide the blueprint for a world of great Batman-verse games outside of Arkham.
