Excited for Cocoon and Lamplighter's League. Will probably give Gotham Knights a try as well.

Gotham Knights is getting updated today, any owners know what this patch does ? Not seeing any patch notes online.

Hoping they're quietly adding a 40hz option in time for the game pass launch, lol.

Holistically, gamers give devs too much credit. Pretty sure the thinking is no matter which studio makes the game, why cant it be super smooth 4k/60 fps. Well, probably because Studio A has budget and talent to pull it off and Studio B doesn't.

Nobody would assume every chocolate chip cookie made by 100 different companies would be the same high quality, so why would gamers expect the same for every game?

Liked the intro video for Gotham Knights.
Played maybe 30 minutes and it definitely doesn’t play as nice as the Arkham games.

I plan on giving it a good go though. Hopefully enjoy it.

Play it with a friend if you can. There's some fun to be had in co-op but as a single player experience it's inferior to Arkham in every conceivable way

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
I bought Gotham Knights for Steam back in July. Of course it would come to PC Gamepass. Thankfully I can now earn achievements and get a 60+ fps experience. Shame they couldn’t get a performance mode to work on consoles.

There was a 10GB patch for the Lamplighters’ League pushed today for console. Seems to fix most of the crashes and some of the bugs I noticed like fog effects.

Pretty good game, strong inspiration from XCOM 2 (to say the least).

I 'played' for about 30 minutes and only needed to touch my controller to stop it from going to sleep.
