Just finished, so here's a quick rundown of most things. Is it long ? Main story can probably be done in 10-12 if you do 0 side content. 30+ if you want to 100% How's the story ? Pretty good amalgam of comics, movies, games with some pretty sweet transitions Controls/Combat ? No complaints. Arkham style combat with eveades and counters. Graphics ? Very pretty. A bit of drops here and there, but nothing major, no crash. Is it funny ? Less a bit than other lego games Unlockables ? Tons of vehicles, costumes and Batcave deco. 7 playable chars that unlock as story progress. Neat skills. High production values with a lot to do on the sizable map. but still a bit high priced. Not best Lego game, nor best Batman game but probably the best hybrid of both we'll ever get. Left wanted more though.. 8.5/10
I’ve been playing LEGO games since i was a child, so this one was a must. I loaded the game and immediately started committing vandalism for profit. You try to focus on the mission… and then you see a shiny thing in a wall, and suddenly the entire plot doesn’t matter anymore. Gotham is huge and fun to explore, but also dangerous because you WILL stop being Batman and start being a professional WayneTech collector. • you WILL ignore the main mission for 45 minutes because a Minikit/WayneTech is suspiciously hidden behind something stupid • you WILL accidentally destroy everything in a 2 mile radius while trying to be stealthy • you WILL question why Robin is actually the most useful person in Gotham • you WILL press the “replay level” button because you missed one collectible and your brain won’t let it go 10/10 — I came for Gotham and stayed for the studs.
Riddler trophies are back? Ah sh*t, here we go again. This isn't a new Lego game, it's a new Arkham installment.
