Gotham Knights while ambitious in trying to portray the story of life without Batman where the mantle of protecting Gotham falls on the protégés of the dark knight, ultimately accomplishes this in the most underwhelming way. The game while somewhat unique, will always be overshadowed by the Arkham trilogy which are simply superior in terms of game-mechanics & storytelling.

Pros:
+Good Story: As Batman's successors struggle to protect Gotham from descending into chaos by gangs & villains vying for power & control following his demise, mysteries surrounding entities such as "The court of owls" & "League of shadows" at work behind the scenes are hastily revealed. The story however falls short when elaborating & utilizing these entities in a meaningful or memorable way.
+Good Graphics: This rendition of Gotham city simply looks beautiful at times from its Gothic architecture to its rainy neon lit streets.
+Good Combat: The combat while clunky & less free flowing when compared to the Arkham games simply gets the job done. The skill tree is well implemented with each of the four playable characters having unique abilities complementing their play-style. Gear can also upgraded further aiding in combat against the game's various enemy classes & villains.
+Good Controls: The game's controls are simple & responsive overall however at times due to the clunky nature of the combat & traversal mechanics in-game this may not seem like the case.
+Good Soundtrack: The mix of songs from well known artists and instrumentals definitely complement the overall aesthetic of neon-noir Gotham and its characters.

Cons:
-Empty World: After completing the main story-line, you quickly realize that Gotham while beautiful is so sparse & empty with nothing to do in certain areas.
-Performance Issues: The game while utilizing Unreal Engine 4, suffers from occasional stutters, frame-drops & low res-textures mainly due to poor optimization.
-Co-op Issues: Various bugs, glitches & disconnects tend to render the game's co-op experience more tedious than it should be.

Conclusion: I would definitely recommend purchasing only when on sale as it's the only time where the value for money spent is really worth it due to the overall length of the story and limited additional content available for the game.
