LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Reviews
Legacy of the Dark Knight's excellent combat and stealth systems, fun open world, and clear reverence for the World's Greatest Detective bring it close to plastic perfection.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight builds on strong LEGO foundations by incorporating the Arkham games and LEGO City Undercover. It’s become more sprawling and more engaging through combat, stealth and driving. But its accessibility has not been lost: anyone can dance with the devil in the pale moonlight, not just adults.
Here’s the thing: with everything said, this is simply one of the best Lego games ever created. Frankly, if the conversation is "Top 10 Batman Video Games", it needs to be included there as well. A slick and wonderful exploration of the history of Batman and crew that has some rough edges, but is ultimately so smart and well created that it’s hard not to smile the whole time it’s on.
If anything I kept lamenting what we lost in Rocksteady and Batman games from the last decade. Save your 60 dollars and buy yourself a cool LEGO set. I can guarantee you'll get more fun from that.
Legacy of the Dark Knght is a charming tribute to the legacy of the Dark Knight, putting you in control of Bruce Wayne/Batman from his childhood all the way to his prime as the Caped Crusader. By drawing from various sources, including the films and blending them with an original approach and a touch of humor, the game delivers an entertaining and engaging narrative. Its combat system, inspired by the Arkham trilogy, offers a seamless flow in battles and provides a more structured gameplay experience compared to previous installments. Finally, the developers' admirable finesse in crafting a dark yet vibrant Gotham City makes Legacy of the Dark Knight a must-play for Batman fans that absolutely shouldn't be missed.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is both a very good LEGO Batman game and a very good overall Batman game. The focus on a small set of characters makes everyone feel like they're more than just a skin swap. The use of an open world is well done, since it actually feels like a living place. The combat is more fluid but feels natural, while the kid-friendly humor is retained to keep the game feeling light-hearted, even during the more serious scenes. This is a game meant for every kind of Batman fan, and it is a title well worth playing.
Despite not offering any real challenge, even on the highest difficulty, it's a rich and enjoyable experience that successfully satisfies a wide range of players simultaneously. Consider it a brilliantly interactive Batman experience.

If you've missed LEGO humor and love Batman, this is a game you'll enjoy. However, remember that this series is ultimately "aimed at children," so adjust your expectations accordingly.

The best Lego Batman game—with great humor, an atmospheric open world, and an incredible amount of fan service. At times, it's very reminiscent of Batman: Arkham—too bad the combat isn't as good.

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is proof that TT Games is ready to evolve as they made the bold move to ditch tired, old mechanics in favor of a mature, story-driven, and genuinely fun experience; and even though the game's "Lego nature" slightly limits how deep the combat and storytelling can go, it still manages to impress, proving just how much untapped potential this franchise has.

This isn't just another LEGO game thrown out for a quick buck. It's an ambitious, mature, and incredibly atmospheric project that brilliantly combines Gotham's dark cinematic history with the playfulness, insight, and typical humor of the Danish construction set.

Featuring sharp writing, accessible gameplay, and plenty of discovery opportunities, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is another strong entry in the LEGO franchise perfect for younger players.
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.

It took LEGO bricks to bring the Dark Knight back to his level as a video game protagonist. Dear Batman, we missed you!

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a charming tribute to the DC icon that isn't afraid to take things with a sense of humor, inviting us on a journey through a less "dark" version of Gotham-but one that's just as memorable

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight successfully combines the atmosphere of the Arkham games with classic LEGO humor in a way that works surprisingly well. Gotham is fantastic to explore, the combat system feels fluid and satisfying, and the more focused character roster gives the gameplay far more purpose than in older LEGO titles. While the lack of online co-op remains the game’s biggest drawback, Legacy of the Dark Knight easily stands among the best and most ambitious LEGO games released in recent years.
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight was a blast. Exploring Gotham City felt like a family-friendly Grand Theft Auto, and that’s not a bad thing at all! The story was engaging and the humour spot-on, meaning I was rarely left without a smile on my face. Everything is awesome? Pretty much!
Lego Batman: The Legacy of The Dark Knight blends sharp humor, excellent writing, rich combat, and a beautifully crafted Lego Gotham into a wildly entertaining experience that shouldn't be underestimated.

For LEGO fanatics and lovers of all things Batman, this is a strange but entertaining amalgam of Batmans from every form of media and generation brought to life
I absolutely loved my time with LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. The game has great visuals, a storied past that wraps and intertwines decades of Batman tales, a traversal and gameplay out of the Arkham series, all in a well-built Gotham City. If you love Batman or LEGO games, this is a must buy.
