red hood should get lethal rounds

People have Hated on this for a variety of shockingly dumb reasons, and the technically-rough launch didn't help, but come at Gotham Knights with fresh eyes and an open mind and you'll have a good time. It's not "Great", but it is really solid and enjoyable for what it is (a lot of comments bemoan what the game isn't, which isn't fair). I've had a really good time with it, well worth the money I paid. First thing to note: It's NOT a Batman: Arkham sequel. It's not trying to be. It's got a different scope, different design aesthetic, different goals. For instance, Gotham City presented here is designed with more realism in mind, like the more recent Bat films. Go back to Arkham Knight and you're looking at a neon-splashed retro-futuristic theme-park. Here, it's a more sober, grounded presentation befitting some of the darker comics. I love how this Gotham looks, especially with the coloured fogging. It also has a more Co-op focus. Bear that in mind when attempting the Starro challenges. Combat is simpler than in the Arkham games but imo it's freer, more fun, and more forgiving of mis-timings. Lose the rhythm in an Arkham game and you'd likely need to start the combat round again. Here, you can create some space and rally. The four characters are nicely varied. Batgirl plays most like Batman, Nightwing is an acrobatic joy. Robin is quick and Stealthy. Red Hood is a savage, longer-range specialist. The plot is thin and only really serves to presented a handful of Rogues for your bashing pleasure. The Court of Owls mystery is the highlight as that involves a lot of exploration and unusual scenarios. Negatives: It's a very grindy game: 100%ers will need the patience of saints. Cut-scenes drag on for too long and involve lots of unnecessary character movement. The core cast also aren't the best actors in the world: line-readings aren't bad bad but never really sparkle, but maybe that's because of the flat writing. But as I said, I REALLY like this one. More so than the Arkham games it captures the feeling of a Vigilante Patrol, rewarding your rooftop night-prowlings with opportunistic crimes ripe for talented beat-downs. If there was ever a 7/10 game, this is it.
