I don't think there was a single person on this planet more excited for the Switch port of this game than me. This was a day 1 buy for me on the hour. I had never played Knight before and as a big fan of city and origins, it was finally time to finish the experience and enjoy the incredible gameplay.

This one was rough. And it hurts. The game is in a much better state now, but the way it was when it dropped, having game breaking bugs that don't let you finish Riddler missions. The crashing, the visuals.

And keep in mind these are on top of a very flawed game. Knight mechanically is expertly crafted, but the pace at which you do things is so haphazard. It's like that Pro-ZD skit about a game having good shooting mechanics and then they just make you collect eggs instead. Thats like Knight except if the eggs were the Batmobile.

The Batmobile honestly controls well too. And the combat can be fun. But it is nowhere close to how fun it is to fight dudes or do predator sections. They made such a rich and full combat system in both areas and you hardly get to do either.

There's a lot to love here, but it's such a mess. Switch compounds it even more.
