I don’t like Gotham Knights.

It’s a brittle, hollow shell, made cynically, written farcically, engineered poorly, and designed not with FUN in mind, but an always-turning grindstone labeled “Player Engagement.” It’s borderline irredeemable. Nothing about the game is engaging, interesting, unique, or even functional. This was WB Montreal’s opportunity to step out of the shadow of the bat. It should have been better than this.
