What Is LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight?

As its title suggests, Legacy of the Dark Knight is a LEGO Batman game. While LEGO games used to be a dime a dozen, this Gotham-set one looks to continue the trend begun with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, in that it’s a high quality game that appears to be made with a lot of care.

While it should still appeal to kids just fine, it’s not a button-masher. It incorporates stealth and combo-based action into the gameplay. In fact, it uses some of the same combat elements found in the Batman: Arkham series of games, if you remember those. It also has puzzles to solve and clue-based detective work, which fits with Batman’s character.

The story starts at Batman’s beginning, with Bruce Wayne training with The League of Shadows before donning the cape and cowl. Back in Gotham, he teams up with the likes of Jim Gordon, Robin, Catwoman, Nightwing, and Batgirl (all of whom are playable characters) as he takes on all manner of color villains, from Joker and Poison Ivy to Bane, Mr. Freeze, and more.

Along the way, there’s a heavy focus on collecting things, including 100 suits, more than 20 vehicles, and over 250 props and trophies to display in the Batcave. For more info, check out our review of the game.
