Growing up, I didn’t own LEGOS. I was a Lincoln Logs kid. Sadly, I don’t think John Lloyd Wright will be making a Lincoln Logs-themed game anytime soon, mostly because the Lincoln Logs founder died in 1972. Another factor is that no one knows what a log of Lincoln even is, and because of that, we’ve got LEGO games. The latest installment in the LEGO franchise is LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. Is it any good? Only one way to find out.

Review Round-Up:

As a lifelong Lego Batman fan, Legacy of the Dark Knight is nothing short of a dream come true. While I will praise the revamped combat, detailed open world, and charming story, it’s the design philosophy they’re spawned from that makes the game so successful. Legacy of the Dark Knight leaves no meat on the bone, with no corner of Batman’s mythology left unturned as it depicts every version of the Caped Crusader fans have come to love. Even with my dissatisfaction with stealth and some minor glitches, the latest Lego Batman is a rain-slicked success. As I played, I heard developer TT Games’ thesis ringing through, loud and clear: People love Batman; here are all the reasons why. – Charles Harte, Game Informer

By the time the credits rolled, I didn’t realize how many hours I spent simply existing in LEGO Gotham. I spent so much time gliding between rooftops, responding to crimes, swapping suits, driving Batmobiles through rain-soaked streets, all in hopes of clearing up all the collectibles and mini challenges. This is not just another licensed LEGO adaptation; it genuinely feels like TT Games impressively figured out how to turn decades of Batman history into one massive interactive playground, and the result is easily the most ambitious thing the studio has ever made. – Marcus Kenneth, CGM
