May 18, 2026LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight deserves a spot on the shelf right next to the very best Batman games ever made. Sure, it’s a more streamlined experience tailored toward a younger audience, but in this form, I couldn’t have imagined a better return to the streets of Gotham.

May 18, 2026LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a great experience overall, and will likely find a passionate audience among those who love this series, but it also won’t do much to convert people who simply don’t enjoy the silly simplicity of the genre. It is both a worthy exploration of Batman and a fantastically fun LEGO title that takes full advantage of how loaded that premise has become over the years.

May 18, 2026Despite a somewhat incoherent story and a handful of technical shortcomings, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight manages to capture the spirit of Batman through endlessly charming, varied, and genuinely fun gameplay. Traveller's Tales has crafted a loving tribute to the Dark Knight's nearly ninety-year legacy, packed with references, personality, and attention to detail that fans are sure to appreciate.

May 18, 2026There are a couple of Arkham games better than this, but also a couple that are worse.

May 18, 2026At its core, it might be ‘Arkham for kids,’ with an open-world that takes the best from Arkham Knight, Lego Marvel Super Heroes, and even a smidge of GTA 4, but it’s also TT Games through and through. It’s because the studio’s personality shines through the unabashed inspirations that it all comes out on top.

May 18, 2026In a larger sense, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is fundamentally about time and the changes that come with it. It's been more than 20 years since Lego games hit it big with Lego Star Wars, and for a while, it felt like it had lost its way and become a whirring franchise-printing machine. Legacy of the Dark Knight rights the ship by getting back to fundamentals with deeper focus, razor-sharp writing, and just the right amount of mechanical complexity. For the first time in a long time, this is a return to form for the Lego series. It's still simple, but not quite as simple, it's bursting with even more secrets, and it's another playful take on a mythology that I love. It's the most fun I've had with a Lego game since 2005, and a template for how Lego games can rebuild into something greater, piece by piece.

May 18, 2026LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is not only probably the best LEGO game to date, but also a great game overall, regardless of whether you are specifically looking for a LEGO experience or not. And, most importantly, it is without a doubt the best Batman game since the release of Arkham Knight.
