    The game takes place against the backdrop of Gotham City, an open-world LEGO playground full of crimes to stop, puzzles to solve, rewards to collect, and surprises to discover around every corner, down every alleyway, and on every rooftop. Players can grapple, glide, or drive through the environment, zipping from building to building with Batman’s grapple launcher, soaring over the city with the Batglider, or cruising around in style with a range of Batmobiles and Batcycles. The Batcave can also be customized to display vehicles, trophies, and collectibles, plus an assortment of wearable Batsuits based on past Batman related media.    … Expand

    LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight isn’t just another iterative entry in the franchise; it's a new vision defined by varied gameplay, gorgeous upgraded graphics and clever storytelling. Whether you’re gliding across Gotham's skyline, piecing together detective puzzles or laughing at a perfectly timed gag, the game delivers a rich, polished experience that honors the Dark Knight in a way only LEGO can.

    As we wait for the Dark Knight's next big game, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight steps in and delivers a lovingly crafted, satisfying entry. It pulls from the best Batman entries while going beyond expectations in every aspect. This one’s by the fans, for the fans.

    I am utterly delighted by Legacy of the Dark Knight. Its story is charming and effective, its combat is engaging, and its open world is top-notch. It's a no-holds-barred approach to the revered character, and though there are spots where the execution could have been better, TT Games included everything I could have asked for in one wholly entertaining package. The Dark Knight has a storied legacy, and this adventure does it justice.

    In a way, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is easy to evaluate: if you're willing to be captivated by either LEGO or Batman, or even if you just want to enjoy the simple fun of playing together with a dear one, there are plenty of reasons to join in the romp of defending Gotham on the Bat's long life journey. On the other hand, those expecting in-depth character and gameplay development should look elsewhere.

    More so than the ill-fated Lego Dimensions, Legacy of the Dark Knight may be the ultimate Lego game, not just drawing on a single series but nearly every popular iteration of Batman.

    Legacy of the Dark Knight isn’t just one of the best LEGO Batman games—it’s one of the best Batman games and one of the best LEGO games, an experience that delivers on virtually every level. It’s even better when played in co-op.

    When Legacy of the Dark Knight finds its focus, there's still plenty of zen-like charm to enjoy here. And if you crave the chaotic? Well, beanbag begins. [Issue#425, p.112]
