10 Video Games We’re Dying To Play (Even Though They’ll Suck)

2. Gotham Knights

It would've been so easy for Gotham Knights to be just another Batman: Arkham title. But WB Games Montreal went in a very bold direction. Because Batman dies in the opening, it's up to his protege, Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Red Hood, to safeguard the city.

Even though this decision could've been met with scorn, fans of the franchise loved how The Bat Family would take centre stage for once.

Based on early promotions, it seemed like Gotham Knights could maintain the high standard of its forebearers.

Unfortunately, that optimism dissolved the moment we saw the game in action. The flying and combat sequences are so janky, they look like they take place in one of Scarecrow's hallucination sequences.

Although bugs are expected before the game is ready, the developers are cutting it pretty tight considering Gotham Knights is meant to be released in two months.

Hopefully, the developers will pull their thumb out, and fix these glaring issues before launch. But considering the last Batman project WB Games Montreal helmed, Batman: Arkham Origins, was a buggy mess, it appears that history is repeating itself.
