Hardcore PC players sure do seem to have a sense of humour, that's for sure. With Sony bringing some of its first-party PlayStation games to Steam and Epic Games Store, it opens up the doors to the wild world of modding. Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered appears to be a popular target; not long ago, a mod was released that turns the game first-person, which is both brilliant and a real test of your constitution. Now, another modder has taken things in a slightly different direction.
A user by the name of Princec23 is responsible for what you see in the above video. Yes, you can now play as IGN's 5/10 review score for the recent superhero action title, Gotham Knights. Sporting the game's logo on one side and a big fat number 5 on the other, it's dumb, but also kind of funny. If you've ever fancied playing as a bright red hexagon instead of Peter Parker, your strange tastes have finally been accounted for. We bet there are those out there who'd genuinely prefer this over the character's controversial face change.
IGN wasn't the only outlet with a lukewarm reception to the ensemble superhero game, but we rather liked it in our 7/10 review. Even so,

Funny, but mean. lol
And the worst part is that Rocksteady's next game looks just as ***** and goofy as Gotham Knights.
I am torn between wanting new ideas and wanting more Batman in my Batman games.
Honestly I've stopped taking IGN seriously after they gave Paper Mario Sticker Star an 8.3/10.
Haha, this made me laugh.
@HotGoomba their final scores depend so much on the author of the review... Some reviewers seem adequate, but others are at least strange.
@Romulus Does it though? To me Suicide Squad just looks like a very different game, despite being another Batman-adjacent one from the studio.
I stopped following ign and gamespot reviews. Mostly gamespot because the girl gave spongebob battle for bikini bottom rehydrated a 2/10 because it was to hard. Yet it was because of a simple game mechanic thats part of the game. Face palmed so hard i gave up with them. And once i found out through a close friend that did freelance work for ign that all reviews are paid for their results. I gave up with them.
Lol
I trust this site and its affiliates. And real people youtube reviews more
@Voltan You probably haven't seen any Suicide Squad trailers. It looks like a game that an AI would make.
@Romulus
Rocksteady have been very quiet for a while. I suspect what they show us next will look a lot different to what they showed us a year ago.
Also, if you look at the respective track records of WB Montreal and Rocksteady, this 5/10 Gotham Knights was very predictable.
Rocksteady on the other hand have my confidence that their game is gonna be good.
On topic - this is absolutely hilarious 😂
A thing that baffles me is the choice of characters you play as. Let's not play as Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Green Arrow etc. but as Red hood, Harley, Killer Croc etc... Who are those people for someone not in the DC lore? It is not that there is an abundance of DC comics videogames now that technology allows for a proper Superman game for example. I guess there is Injustice 2 but they butchered some of the characters like they did in Mortal Kombat. Spiderman ps4 was a perfect example of how to make a superhero game, even though the new Peter Parker looks off and the Sinister 6 plot felt forced.
Made me giggle more than it probably should have 😁
I've yet to play a second of GK. And royally never will. All the footage I've seen looks dramatically poor compared to the Arkham series.
Beside the technical problems of the game, making a Batman game a loot game is ridiculous just as much as it was for also trying to make Ghost Recon one
I can’t take IGN seriously and this video puts the icing on the cake.
5/10 Not much batman
In case anyone is wondering about how Gotham Knights REALLY is, I’ve been playing since launch day and the game is a lot of fun. Perfect? No - but what games really are at launch? Not many at all. Sure it has a few issues but it’s NOT AT ALL a 4 or 5 / 10 like some review sites have said. No way. If I’m being honest and fair, I’d give it a solid 7. Hope that’s helpful for anyone on the fence about it or wondering.
Getting beat on by a png.
Ya hate to see it
@DETfaninATL I agree. I've been tracking the subreddit and it went from excitement, to hate over the 30FPS issue, back to pure joy and excitement. It's a joy to play for me and I like the idea of building my Red Hood into a brawling, pistol whipping madman who can use his upgraded bullets to set enemies ablaze. Feels oddly appropriate based on his character lol. Plus, some of the suits for each character are just the chef's kiss, and makes me wish we actually got more options for the Arkham series than we did.
As for this video, it's definitely the funniest thing I've seen this week, and I would love to see what a modded Gotham Knights produces.
Well, Knights is just about in line with the current DCEU.
This article is unfinished, presumably a mistake. It ends in the middle of a sentence.
I'm surprised IGN weren't fans. They usual gush over comic related stuff.
I stopped reading IGN reviews. Sometimes is very clear they can't interpret what they are seeing, and they are paid for it, I'm not. Or, the arcticle pour compliments aboout the material, to give a "7" in the end. And let's not mention the the review where the reviewer clearly hates the material, like the Walking Dead show reviews. Good they gave up, it's better than being dishonest.
I am actually enjoying Gotham Knights alot more than I did Spiderman...I think they feel quite similar...so I don't get some of the poor reviews for it....I am a much bigger fan of the Batman universe than Spiderman ..so why I'm enjoying it more on one level
5 out of 10, too much night?😁
@DETfaninATL its funny, everyone who has spent around 60 on it have found it good, never running into the issues all reviews had. bit strange and seeing it thru rose tinted goggles.
This gave me a good chuckle
@stvevan That's because the game is fun, it has a good story, combat and haven't encountered major bugs/glitches.
Everyone just hates it due to the 30fps limit.
Maybe try it out once it goes on sale or given out for free in the far future.
@RawnDawn I'm not really keen on the combat, with the grinding for levels or there being no counter system. If I ever do get it, it will be on deep deep discount.
@pharos_haven Combat is really fun but understandable on the levels, it does take a bit to unlock moves.
Nice little chat with you man and have a nice day!
Yeah sites like Ign, Pushsquare, Gamespot etc. tend to have really terrible reviews and are only good for gaming news. Youtube is the place you go for quality reviews.
@Tomato_Goose All review scores depend on the author of the review. Review scores are subjective. Which is why I always say no one should ever base their purchasing decisions based on a review score.
@HotGoomba I always joke about the Metal Gear Survive review here but reviews a lot of times are someone personal preferences. But i have to be honest im still a little mad about that 8/10 for the game while something like Gravity Rush 2 gets a 7/10. 🤣
The Ign review actually turned me off from it but after playing it the game isn't that bad at all I'll give it an 7.5/10.
Glad I stopped reading IGN reviews a long time ago. I would rate GK slighty higher then 5/10, give it a 7 at best.
On-topic this is amusing, lol.
