Gotham Knights Critique - Shadow of the Bat

I don’t like Gotham Knights. It’s a brittle, hollow shell, made cynically, written farcically, engineered poorly, and designed not with FUN in mind, but an always-turning grindstone labeled “Player Engagement.” It’s borderline irredeemable. Nothing about the game is engaging, interesting, unique, or even functional. This was WB Montreal’s opportunity to step out of the shadow of the bat. It should have been better than this. *LORE DUMP* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpQZr3eT3KY&t=3287s&ab_channel=LoreDump Thumbnail by Zoltiboi https://twitter.com/zoltiboi *TWITTER* https://twitter.com/MontyZander *PATREON* https://www.patreon.com/montyzander *TIMESTAMPS* 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:07:19 - Cardboard Heroes 00:28:46 - Getting Around 00:42:24 - Fun With Friends 00:53:51 - City of Grind 01:10:23 - Number Go Up 01:24:00 - Three Villains Walk into a Bar 01:39:06 - The One-Two Punch 01:52:05 - Gotham City 02:09:16 - The Court of Owls 02:22:44 - Missing the Point *SUICIDE SQUAD: KILL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE CRITIQUE - DEAD WEIGHT* https://youtu.be/TcRP_8UwRrg *BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT CRITIQUE - LEGACY OF THE BAT* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rruHbLSDTRo&t=3640s&ab_channel=MontyZander *FOOTAGE/REFERENCES* 1 - Mulderville USA - SDCC 2022 Gotham Knights Patrick Redding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dVXI4tTxx4&t=621s&ab_channel=MuldervilleUSA 2 - Screen Rant Plus - Gotham Knights SDCC 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3VhKOzSc6s&t=169s 3 - ComicBook.com - Gotham Knights teases new Batman characters, deeper DC story for Bruce Wayne: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpZM2cDEsLY&t=113s&ab_channel=Comicbook.com 4 - GG Recon - Gotham Knights Review: https://www.ggrecon.com/reviews/gotham-knights-review 5 - Tony Guerrero - Patrick Redding Interview: Gotham Knights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2Eias_fvIU&t=211s&ab_channel=TonyGuerrero 6 - IGN - Gotham Knights: Creating a more dangerous Harley Quinn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93ALFlaDJ4A&t=347s&ab_channel=IGN 7 - Playstation Lifestyle - Warner Bros.
