The verdict
A lavish, funny "LEGO Arkham" with great Gotham, combat and Batman references. Classic LEGO fans may hate the missing free play, red bricks and roster, and the price is steep.
Great for
Batman and Arkham fans who want a lighthearted, cinematic open-world romp, solo or co-op with kids
Main risk
Expecting a classic LEGO game (free play, big roster, red bricks) and paying $70+ for it
What changed in the last 30 days
103 recent reviews
Recent reviews focus on the Mayhem DLC: a repetitive roguelike mode, no separate purchase, bugs, crashes and some lost saves. The base game is still praised. Fairly confident.
