A roughly 15-hour Game Informer playthrough called Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight a “rain-slicked success,” highlighting its broad sweep across Batman lore and an original ending.
TT Games’ latest entry won praise for overhauled mechanics — including skill trees, gadget upgrades and the franchise’s first 3 difficulty levels — while keeping the game accessible to younger players.
Open-world Gotham, spread across 4 islands, stood out as a major strength, with hundreds of puzzles and sidequests plus dense Batman landmarks built for both driving and vertical exploration.
Stealth drew the sharpest criticism for being either too easy or too limited, and the reviewer logged about a dozen minor physics and camera bugs, though none were game-breaking.
The review framed the game as an all-ages, reference-rich celebration of Batman’s legacy, suggesting TT Games largely succeeds by packing in nearly every version of the character fans expect.
