  • Reviews for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight landed alongside its PS5, Xbox and PC release, with the PS5 version holding an 84 Metacritic score.
  • Top critics largely praised its open-world Gotham, humor and Batman fan service—scores ranged from 10/10 at GamingBible to 7/10 at Checkpoint Gaming, with several outlets highlighting refined combat and collectibles.
  • The main criticism was repetition and low difficulty, with some reviewers saying the story and encounter design fall short even as the overall package remains strong.
  • Warner Bros. Games still plans a Switch 2 version, but no release date has been announced, leaving Nintendo players waiting while the game launches on other platforms.
