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.

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

The game offers plenty of side missions as well as a free-roam style that allows for lots of play after completing the main story, and also allows players to spend time with some costumes and ability variants.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a lovingly crafted nostalgia trip that could do with a tighter focus to really spread its leathery wings.
It's a game clearly built with affection for the character, packed with references for longtime fans and accessible enough for those simply looking for a fun adventure with friends. It's also commendable that Traveller's Tales, with its latest releases, has chosen to tailor the experience to the specific franchise they're working with, as was the case with The Skywalker Saga. Obviously, this has meant a much longer wait for the next game, but it's worth it. That's why, even though 12 years have passed since Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (2014), the Dark Knight has proven he still knows how to make a comeback.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a worthy addition to the LEGO game franchise. After the rather lukewarm reception of LEGO Horizon Adventures, this latest entry once again delivers an experience that Batman and DC Comics fans will appreciate, while its charming presentation and humor are engaging enough to appeal even to players who are not particularly interested in superheroes.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight isn’t just a great LEGO game; it’s a genuinely fantastic Batman game.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is more than a nostalgic tribute: it is the most ambitious LEGO game in years, turning Gotham into a heartfelt playground for Batman fans.

Legacy of the Dark Knight is the biggest surprise of the year, and I didn't expect it at all. TT Games took a character who hasn’t had a game worthy of his legacy in over a decade, wrapped him in LEGO bricks, and delivered an experience that will make Batman fans feel right at home. The few minor missteps do little to detract from the overall package.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight celebrates decades of the DC hero’s history with a game that appears ambitious on paper, but ultimately falls into the traps of simplicity, repetition, and a few less entertaining excesses.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight mixes LEGO humor, Arkham-style combat, open-world Gotham, strong Bat-Family moments, and rich Batman fan service, but its easy difficulty, shallow stealth, smaller roster, and lack of online co-op hold it back.

I have played a few LEGO games, but the franchise has never clicked with me quite as much as LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. Maybe it’s the fact that the title used Batman: Arkham as a base for its combat, or the well-designed open world. I don’t think so, though. So much of the experience feels like a more compelling version of what LEGO does. I remember playing LEGO Horizon with characters being random in every scene, an extension of the LEGO formula.
