With the Gotham Knights<\/a>, it\u2019s worth knowing how many hours it takes to complete the game before diving in. It\u2019s always a good idea to find out how long a game should take to complete before starting it up so you know what to prioritise and when.<\/p>\n

As a story-focused game with a large open space to explore, Gotham Knights won\u2019t be a short play. It\u2019s worth noting, too, that with four playable characters there are bound to be small differences in cutscenes and such.<\/p>\n

Read on below to discover how many hours it takes to beat Gotham Knights and whether it\u2019s worth replaying the game upon completion or not.<\/p>\n

How many hours does it take to beat Gotham Knights?<\/b><\/h2>\n

We would predict that it will take most gamers\u00a0around 20 hours to finish Gotham Knights <\/strong>and see those credits roll.<\/p>\n

Although the central campaign is a little shorter than that, the side stories in the \u2018case files\u2019 menu will add a few extra hours to your play time, and we\u2019d wager that most players will want to finish these mission chains (or you won\u2019t see the end of the Harley Quinn story, for example).<\/p>\n

One other reason for this length is that Gotham City in Gotham Knights is huge. In an interview with Game Informer<\/a>, the executive producer of WB Games Montr\u00e9al, Fleur Marty explains that \u201cit\u2019s the biggest version of Gotham that has been represented in video games.\u201d They add that \u201cit has a lot of layers\u201d.<\/p>\n

What about completionists, though? Due to the overall size of the city to explore, we think at least that it should take a few dozen hours to 100 per cent complete the game and get all the collectables (think 40 hours plus).<\/p>

Is it worth replaying Gotham Knights?<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you want to see absolutely everything it is worth replaying Gotham Knights. As there are four playable characters in Batgirl, Robin, Red Hood, and Nightwing there are four different perspectives to see in each cutscene.<\/p>\n

Thanks to mp1st<\/a>, in an interview with PLAY magazine (issue #19), it\u2019s known that \u201ceach character has their own version\u201d of scenes throughout the story. The game\u2019s cinematic director Wilson Mui adds \u201cif you were to look and play Batgirl, you\u2019re gonna get Batgirl\u2019s version, but if you play Robin, you\u2019re gonna get Robin\u2019s version of that same scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just how different each scene plays out will vary on the character. Mui explains that \u201cwe\u2019re gonna have a very similar scene that overall falls in the flow for each character.\u201d Thanks to the different experiences of the four playable heroes, they will have different interactions and reactions with the game\u2019s villains and events. Expect \u201clittle subtle differences\u201d between all four.<\/p>\n

If \u201clittle subtle differences\u201d in cutscenes for each character are enough, then, by all means, replay Gotham Knights. It\u2019s worth noting, too, that each playable character comes with its own skill tree and abilities. It could be worth replaying the game to try out every skill if you really want to.<\/p>\n

The multiplayer elements add another reason to keep playing after the credits, and the upcoming Heroic Assault mode will expand that offering even further. This game could stick around for a while, then.<\/p>\n
