    Okay, this game is fun, but for $60, it's not worth it. This game is broken, like really broken. Sometimes, you'll get stuck in the elevator and the story won't progress. Sometimes for no reason, your hero will lose all of their powers. Sometimes, the game will crash. This game is pretty fun, but on the switch, there are just better games.

    Solid Lego game which will get you addicted to the Collectathon gameplay. The loading times are painfully slow most of the time unfortunately.

    I have never been a fan of the LEGO games, perceiving them to be clunky, clumsy, and unfinished feeling.

    But LEGO DC Super-villains is fairly well polished. Playing the Marvel game that released a year before reveals how much of an advancement this is over a similar idea of many characters teaming up. The DLC is extremely lackluster except for getting characters you might like, like

    But LEGO DC Super-villains is fairly well polished. Playing the Marvel game that released a year before reveals how much of an advancement this is over a similar idea of many characters teaming up.

    The DLC is extremely lackluster except for getting characters you might like, like in Batman the Animated Series, Justice League Dark, or Young Justice sets. It's a ton of fun to unlock all the characters.

    The character designer is the standout feature.

    LEGO games have become nothing but collectathons with a side of story. In some cases, you need certain collectibles to get other collectibles. This is not how you make a game last longer, this is how you make a game "worth" it's 60 dollars at launch with no effort put in.

    But aside from the collectathon mess this series of interactive media is, it is super buggy. I had to reconfigure my customizable character at one point because the game forgot what the appearance, colour, and origin of the heat beam was.

    Lego regresa con una nueva historia para el universo de DC, donde las estrellas no son Batman o la Liga de la Justicia, sino sus villanos. Con personajes carismáticos como Joker o Harley Quinn y algunos históricos como Lex Luthor y Siniestro ésta entrega sobresale por la divertida historia y la variada cantidad de personajes por usar como nos vienen acostumbrando.

    SI jugaste algún juego de Lego es más de lo mismo, es un juego para chicos en el cual tienes controles simples y acertijos fáciles de cumplir para poder progresar en la historia o desbloquear cosas en el mundo abierto. Todo bien detallado para recrear sitios como Ciudad Gótica y Metrópolis.
    Hasta la actualización 1.0.3 tenía problemas para jugar en el mundo abierto de forma portátil con la Nintendo Switch, una vez que cambiaba los personajes cualquier cosa podía hacer que el juego se cierre. Pero con la actualización el juego se volvió fluido, sin errores.
    En general es una gran compra para fans de DC Comics o chicos que están entusiasmados con el mundo de los super héroes, el juego no tiene un gran diseño gráfico así que la Nintendo Switch me parece la mejor opción por la posibilidad de poder jugar en TV o en cualquier lado con la tableta.

    Love this game! So many things to do! Music is amazing and graphics/visuals are great. Love the variety of characters. Always have been a DC fan. It’s great to be the villain. Great story. Sometimes the side quests are overwhelming in quantity and as long as the main story levels but never become tedious. Great game!! Recommended!

    I'm a big fan of the Lego games and I really wanted this game to be better. I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. There were a few glitches. The aesthetic was a bit too Suicide Squad movie for my taste. Its fine.

    I love DC. I love Lego. So i tried it out and it came out pretty good! I would highly recommend this game to anyone, even if their are not really familiar with DC. Anyways, why i gave a 9, and not a 10, is simply because the game is really buggy. I had to leave the level, search for the level so i can join it, and play again. Because there isnt a "retry level" button. That was reallyI love DC. I love Lego. So i tried it out and it came out pretty good!

    Great game, there are a lot of bugs/glitches though. Probably the third best lego game of all time, after skywalker saga and batman 2. I think the price should be reduced to 40 bucks

    Not much to say really, just another genually fun lego game. The only thing to say is that is overpriced ( $60), but at the end this is the price of almost every LEGO game.

    If you love Lego games or have younger people around that do, then this game is one of the more fun ones in a while. The overall Lego formula stays the same, for better or worse. But if you’re a DC fan they’ve once again gone all out on their characters, references and voice actors. Lego DC Villains brings together some of the well-known characters and the lesser-known, and chucks them into a decent story to make for a fun time.

    It’s not a revelation for the Lego games, but it’s not trying to be. The core is the great use of DC characters placed in a fairly traditional Lego game. It’s a safe purchase. If you’ve played other Lego games, you probably know what you’re getting yourself into. A handful of flaws hold it back from being one of the “greats,” but I walked away impressed overall. It’s over-the-top, a little wacky, and it certainly has respect for the IP.
