Early scores for Gotham Knights don't inspire optimism: Reviewers aren't impressed with new DC Comics-based co-op action game

Tomorrow - October 21 - the cooperative action game Gotham Knights will be released, and today gamers can read the critics' opinions about the game and make an initial impression.

Here's What We Know

According to the experts' reviews, the game turned out to be an average one: it caused neither enthusiasm, nor rejection. This is eloquently testified to by the reviews on the aggregators. For example, the version for PS5 got the highest score on Metacritic, and it is only 69 points! And the PC and Xbox Series versions of Gotham Knights received67 and 68 points respectively.

Among the positive sides: Gotham Knights the journalists noticed the visual style and the open world. It is interesting to explore the streets of Gotham, where the developers have hidden a lot of secrets. The reviewers also praise the storyline, and they find it especially interesting the way the game designers portrayed the relations of the four protagonists, who have to take up his duties after Batman's death.

The cooperative mode was also praised. The game really gives much more experience in a joint playthrough.

Among the negative sides: Journalists did not agree on the combat system of Gotham Knights: some liked it, while others found it mediocre. There were not without technical problems, which spoil the overall picture of the game.

The overestimated number of all sorts of mechanics and RPG's elements, they seemed boring and uninteresting, and some of them are even superfluous, was not appreciated by the experts.

The reviewers were of the opinion that the game lacked uniqueness, and it entirely relies on the success of the previous Arkham games from the Rocksteady studio.

All in all, we got an ordinary game for a couple of evenings, about which a year later no one will even remember.
