Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is the Batman: Arkham successor I wasn’t expecting. I didn’t pay much attention when Traveller’s Tales announced the upcoming game during Gamescom, thinking it was another of the developer’s standard Lego titles. Now, after having played for an hour, I have my Bat-Signal firmly aimed at this game.
Like Batman: Arkham City, Legacy of the Dark Knight is set in an open world, albeit a Lego version of the infamous Gotham City. It even features a simpler version of Arkham’s combat and gliding mechanics. However, this isn’t just Lego Arkham, as this game also takes inspiration from Batman movies and comics. This is a huge love letter to the Caped Crusader and his crime-ridden metropolis.
