THE FUSE

Let’s get this out of the way: Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight isn’t actually a new Arkham game. However, it gets a lot closer to recreating that experience than I expected from a Lego game. And while I was disappointed by the game’s smaller roster of playable characters compared to past TT Games–developed Lego titles and by its rushed second half, the feeling of gliding around the streets of Gotham, completing Riddler puzzles, and beating up hundreds of goons is just as fun as it was in Arkham City. Plus, none of the Arkham games included Prince’s fantastic song “Partyman.”
