You probably already know that we loved LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight if you caught our review. You might have even read about how we think it proves WB Games did the Bat-verse wrong, but we’re not the only ones with praise. A new accolades trailer shows off what critics have been saying, and much of it praises the open world and presentation, not to mention the feeling of being Batman in a story that features nods to many favorite moments over the years.
That’s all because it’s a title that feels very close to Rocksteady’s Arkham franchise, which continues to remain a benchmark for Batman games, all while injecting some humor into Gotham’s usually dreary streets. The stealth, Free Flow combat, and sheer amount of references are all there and are very welcome. The open world, with its activities and secrets, has also proven fun to sink dozens of hours into.
If you’ve been on the fence about this one, the trailer below is probably going to nudge you towards a decision one way or another. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, with the Nintendo Switch 2 version coming at some point. Of course, TT Games also has additional content, including The Joker and Harley Quinn as playable characters in the new Mayhem Mode.
