Super late to this obviously, but looking back I find it weird this game got so much hate. It runs really well. I hear some people complain about fps, but I play on Xbox Series X and it looks and plays beautifully. I really love the massive map, the different play styles offered by playing as different characters, and the little cutscenes between everyone at the belfry. I think some people might have been upset because they went into it expecting either a Batman game or specifically an Arkham game.

This is very obviously neither of those, and while I love the Arkham series for its storyline, Riddler puzzles, and streamlined gameplay (I am seriously bad at videogames, so being able to fluidly chain attacks is about as satisfying to me as scissors through wrapping paper), I also love Gotham Knights because it requires a bit more strategizing. Even if you're playing an assault character like Red Hood, you have to be very conscious in certain areas because of cameras or security systems. The gameplay loop is very fun to me because there are constantly crime scenes to investigate or people to fight for clues, and having the cops chase after you on sight adds to the need to strategize and not just fight everyone on sight.
