When it’s not Pokemon it's got to be horror. ![]() The video games came later, but it was the trading card game that caught her eye and led to Elie owning an extensive playing card collection (She would tell you how many are PSA 10, but she doesn’t want to get robbed). Before writing for TRG, Elie studied for a Masters at Cardiff University JOMEC in International Journalism and Documentaries – spending her free time filming short docs or editing the gaming section for her student publications.Įlie’s first step into gaming was through Pokemon. Why would I trade Batman in favor of playing four of his sidekicks? Gotham Knights looked like setting the stage for a less impactful story.Įlie is a Features Writer for TechRadar Gaming, here to write about anything new or slightly weird. As a huge fan of Rocksteady’s Arkham games, I was worried that Gotham Knights would move away from the identity that Arkham Knight cemented so well. I was skeptical about heading into Gotham Knights. But these guys' foibles fade into the background of the amazing city. Many of the NPCs have lifeless eyes and awkward, mechanical movements. Still, while Gotham Knights looks great in the broad sweeps with the darkened and sodden streets reflecting the neon lights that illuminate the skyline when you look closely, the details can be lacking. I’m not sure what witchcraft is behind it, but I can max out all the graphics settings on an ultrawide monitor without experiencing freezing or jittering. I was fully prepared for my RTX 3070 to struggle with Gotham Knights, particularly after the developer announced the technical struggles for untethered co-op crimefighting had forced it to lock the game to 30fps on consoles. Needless to say, there wasn’t a lot of stealth after that. That is until I accidentally press the button for an aerial takedown and land right in the middle of a pack of guards. ![]() Meanwhile, I’m quietly screaming at my computer, begging him to calm down and just go over it.Įventually, I get him perched on the railing, ready to jump over and escape the building. Red Hood doesn’t know what to do, rather than simply jump over the low barrier, he combat rolls around on the floor, sprints into the obstacle, he does it all except leap over the railing. That is until I encounter my greatest enemy: a short railing. It goes well at first, I lurk in the shadows dipping and diving to avoid the mechanical glare of the security cameras and searching police, and no one suspects a thing. I need to beat a hasty exit and not get seen by Gotham’s finest in the process. A lack that can make itself known at the worst moments.Īt one point, I was in Gotham’s police station my ears are ringing with the sound of the alarms, there’s an incinerated body in front of me, and armed police are searching the building for me. You can’t jump in Gotham Knights, you can dodge, climb, or perch, but jumping isn’t in your wheelhouse. However, there is one place Gotham Knights is painfully awkward: clearing low obstacles. Climbing onto a motorbike is cool, but leaping onto a motorbike in motion, like Zorro mounting a stampeding horse, is cooler and keeps up the pace of the crimefighting. At a press of a button, the Dark Knight-inspired mechanical motorcycle phases into existence, facing the direction you’re running, and even starts moving if you begin to sprint. If you want a speedier way to get through the city, you can always call your bat-bike. The grappling hook is like a combination of the heroic-fantasy in Marvel’s Spider-Man, where you swing through your city as protector and defender constantly looking to snuff out crime, and the zombie survival game Dying Light which uses the grappling hook as an additional tool in your movement arsenal. ![]() Such a simple tool, but it made me feel like Gotham is my stomping ground as I leap from rooftop to rooftop, chasing down criminals below. ![]() It’s child’s play to scale skyscrapers, simply looking at ledges or high platforms and tapping ‘F’ when the grapple icon appears. That smoothness also extends to your utility belt, with the grappling hook becoming this lazy crimefighter’s best friend. ![]()
