Gotham Knights
- Platforms: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series
- Rating: 3 stars
Gotham Knights It is a batman game without batman. At first, the famous superhero dies, and after that you have to play the role of one of his students: Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl or Red Hood. Through stealth, combat, and exploration, she tries to discover who is behind Batman’s murder. You can play alone or with a friend.
at recent days Batman ArkhamThe games are highly rated, but Gotham Knights You don’t really get to that level. It’s a nice game: combat and stealth look OK, but due to the lack of variety and depth, it quickly becomes monotonous. The ArkhamThe games were better – while the last part is already seven years old.
Gotham Knights It can be played exclusively on PC and the latest generation of game consoles. A release for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One was canceled at the last minute. However, the game doesn’t do much to justify this exclusivity on more powerful consoles. For the most part, the PlayStation 4 game looks a little nicer, but even though it runs at a frame rate of thirty frames per second. This is completely playable, but not the next generation experience that its makers promised.

Bayonetta 3
- Platforms: Nintendo Switch
- Result: 5 stars
There were at least eight years between the second and third BayonettaToys. The series was created by Japanese PlatinumGames, headed by Hideki Kamiya, who previously had a hand in major game franchises such as vampire And the devil may cry.
You again play the role of the witch Bayonetta, who performs strange acrobatics with pistols at her feet to fight her enemies. Once again this fight is very well laid out. You have to combine combo attacks and dodge attacks. If you do the latter at the right time, the game will play in slow motion for a while and you can safely deliver extra hits. In this way, the game encourages you to take more risks.
Bayonetta 3 Bigger and more diverse than the previous parts. The world is more free to explore and the battles are more diverse due to all kinds of additional transformations. The absurdist style of the original is still there: Bayonetta is still a very sexual character, but the makers seem to realize how exaggerated it all is. This makes it a parody of the female game characters of the ’90s.
