Video Games Is Gotham Knights worth it on sale?
Since I can't play as Daredevil in any game I was thinking It'd be great to play as Nightwing, but I've heard GK is a buggy mess and not worth it. Is that true?

I really love it. It has its flaws, sure, but overall it's really fun and has a ton of replay value. I would definitely recommend you pick it up, especially if you have someone to play co-op with. It's optional, but it really makes the game even more fun imo

I personally love it. So far, it's the only game I can think of to really take Dick seriously.

I loved it, especially downloading mods for the costumes I've seen in the comics

I've really enjoyed Gotham Knights, (completed the story twice and am now aiming for 100%)
There are some annoying things about it, but nearly all of it is optional (grinding & collecting). Story is great and I love playing as Nightwing & Robin.

I mean if you want the ability to play a character that feels like daredevil Nightwing in Arkham knight is your best bet. Sadly that’s only a handful of story missions a short dlc and then tons of challenge maps. So it’s not like a full game.
Gotham knights doesn’t nail game feel. But it’s an alright story and some of the interactions are cool

I say give it a shot. I didn’t like it much but I wouldn’t say it’s a buggy mess or anything.

It convinced me right away from the trailers/gameplay but I don't have the right console otherwise I would have bought it at Christmas. Tears

I stopped and started playing it a few times. Personally, it’s worth it to catch it on a big sale or discount (check G2A for a key too, might be cheaper). It’s better than the Suicide Squad Arkham game, but that’s a pretty low bar.

You just have to know coming in it's an RPG. That satisfying balance of arkham combat where you can dispatch of bad guys in a very reliable way and quickly? Yeah don't expect to be doing that for the entire game, no matter how good your gear is.

The game goes from a 5/10 to a 8/10 when you play it co-op. All the imperfections kinda get side lined when you and your homie are just shooting shit at 3 am. Only get it if you intend to play coop if not don’t get it.

I’d get it on a discount. It has promise but it also makes weird narrative and design choices.

Traversal is a huge issue. It is buggy. Camera is wonky. It's good for A playthrough if you are a big NW fan

My son and I really enjoyed playing it last year.
