The Best LEGO Batman Game ever played. This game has a lot of fun puzzles and missions. I like them 10/10

friday night and this with a glass of beer

good

i played the trilogy with my sister, and it was a fun experience. There is no other lego games that can beat this trilogy

In 2h I got softlocked 6x by interactive object disappearing. Needed to restart level 2x after 15min just to get stuck in another section isnt FUN.

ölkllöö

lame as hell. Voiced lego games are never charming or funny. The gameplay is just constant suit-switching with no substance.

It is the same licensed, blocky collectathon as always, albeit a bit bigger with a wackier narrative. It is a fine LEGO game, but if you played a bunch of these already, you’ll probably find nothing new.

Stuff in Gotham is as always – the never-ending work of chasing criminals through sewers and dark alleyways seems to never get old for ol’ Bruce and Robin. Joker and his goons, however, try to make it more interesting this time. Basically, they try to hijack The Space Colony ARK to gain power and make Lex Luthor the president.
In the meantime, Earth is getting attacked by Brainiac, an alien guy who likes to shrink stuff around (I don’t even know what kind of complex this is) to add it to his personal collection. He collects planets and worlds alike. Batman, Robin, all the other characters who take way too much screen time for a “Batman” game – as well as the villains - join forces to stop the alien threat.
An alright idea with heroes and villains working together for sure, and the whole “Batman” goes to space could’ve been done worse, I guess. The thing is, even more than in the second one, the game doesn’t feel like it’s about Batman. Yes, he is there in most of the events, but he kind of feels lost in the crowd of all the other characters. As LEGO Batman 2 was pretty much about Superman, Batman 3 is about the whole Lantern characters kerfuffle. It’s not bad, it’s just weird that Batman’s little story thread (Robin’s mind-control speech/caring about Robin) blends so much with the others that at the point when it gets resolved, you think to yourself “oh, right, it’s a Batman game!” Maybe I’m just overthinking it however – let's just say that it’s a Green Lantern-themed LEGO Batman game.
This game has continuity – it's subtle, but it’s there. It’s nice to know that the previous events actually happened, and our characters learned something from them.
I love the humor of the game, lots of good jokes. The scenes when people have inverted personalities are also hilarious. Also, the cast for this game is pretty good. Some voice lines are delivered in an amazingly lively manner and style – like Tara Strong voicing Harley Quinn side-quests or Adam West voicing... Adam... West...

Yeah, it’s weird to start “The Gameplay Paragraph” with an Adam West rant, but here we go. The number of PERILS this man finds himself in is incomprehensible for a human mind. It’s literally like you save this man, he goes behind a corner – and IMMEDIATELY falls into a manhole or something. This- this GOON has NO self-awareness whatsoever. NONE. Anyway, I do love the guy, and where I’m getting at is that he’s one of many collectibles in the game.
In this game – yes, you guessed it – you do pretty much everything as in the previous ones – or any other licensed LEGO game for that matter. The story levels are separate from the hubs, you speedrun them knowing da.mn well you’ll have to backtrack to them anyway for minikits. As always you unlock Cheat Bricks, characters, vehicles and the most useless of them all – Golden Bricks. To get most of the stuff you use characters’ abilities on specific blocks and puzzles. Stuff same as always, besides some smaller quality of life improvements. The bigger thing is that using costumes does not require their respective stations anymore – you switch between costumes similarly to characters in Free Play.
The hub worlds are... well, they’re not as repetitive and tiresome as Gotham in the previous game, but there are still problems. There are too many quests that are just the same, boring tasks. In the main hubs this ain’t THAT bad. However, we also get access to many different planets, respective of each Lantern. The planets are cool and pleasant, with some puzzles that are actually something. Unfortunately, as much as I love The Green Loontern as a character, he gives you the same set of boring quests on each planet and just changes the dialogue. And the other quests are not much better. I feel like they should've cut, like I don’t know, half of them, just to be safe. I feel like flying in the hubs has been improved since the second game though.

The game looks alright, it’s hard to judge graphics in a... LEGO game. Aesthetically it has its charm as always and the planets are really cool to look at too. The game also really makes use of the whole DC licences. The cast of characters to unlock and play with is really broad and diverse. If you have a DC character that you just absolutely love, you’ll probably find them here, even if they’re a little obscure, like my favorite, the Condiment King.
Musicwise – they really just reused the material a lot. There are new tracks and themes, but still a lot of the time in the levels you just hear the same music that you’ve been listening to for the last 2 games. Sound effects- I mean it’s just a LEGO game, come on.

The game crashed multiple times, there was also an audio leveling problem once and I had to restart it.
DLCs are alright content-wise, I guess. The levels are short, but cool – you also get a bunch of good characters. It’s just to buy all the DLCs (and get 100% the achievements) you do need to whip out some bucks. The way it’s chopped and how you get the FOMO by looking at the locked characters – just doesn’t sit right with me.

Overall, it’s an another good LEGO collectathon that’s hard to normally criticize as a standalone game. The thing is after playing a bunch of LEGO games on licenses like this in my life, it’s hard not to notice that they kind of just found an alright framework for a game and decided to do little to nothing to innovate it really.
