Gotham Knights isn't a new entry in the Batman: Arkham series of games, but it feels like one in a lot of ways. Read our hands-on preview of the upcoming DC Comics videogame.
appears to have a lot in common with the much-beloved Batman: Arkham series. Its combat is at least superficially similar, a rhythmic affair where enemies have big wind-up animations and eye-catching UI popups offer indicators for when to perform an acrobatic dodge. When you’re not punching people, you’ll sneak around by grappling between elevated hidden perches until you get the perfect angle to do a stealthy takedown and slink back into the shadows.
In terms of its RPG-ness, I will say that although numbers fly out of enemies’ heads as you pummel them and you can find weapons with different colors attached to their rarity, the game’s skill tree was in line with most other open-world big-budget titles. There is also still an emphasis on story missions with areas that feel designed for that specific turn of the narrative . You can explore Gotham through ziplining, gliding, and driving to discover various side missions and chance encounters.
The most significant difference is the emphasis on the Momentum meter, which lets you unleash powerful unique moves when filled. For instance, Batgirl can release a persistent drone, Red Hood lets loose a volley of gunshots that interrupt enemies, and Nightwing can apply buffs to himself and his team.
Still, there were a few new elements I did enjoy. Each character felt somewhat unique thanks to their special moves and upgrade trees, which boosted specific stats and facets of their play. Thankfully, each Knight levels up even if you’re not using them actively, meaning you can switch who you’re playing between missions to add some variety.
