"Like those games, it takes place in an open-world Gotham with Bruce gliding and grappling around as he finds thugs to beat up and Riddler puzzles to solve. When he's on the ground, the mini-figure Batman rides around on a motorcycle and in the Batmobile, and in combat, he throws almost rhythmic punches, kicks, and parries like he does in the games."
"When I played the game in October, my muscle memory for those old games kicked in pretty quick. It's QTE-driven, which means that if you're on top of your blocks and dodges, you can pretty much dance your way through a fight without taking a hit. fans will also recognize a few of Batman's tools, including the explosive gel that he uses to break through walls. Overall, it looks like Traveller's Tales is stepping up in Rocksteady's absence."
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is an open-world Batman game that draws heavily from Rocksteady's Arkham series. Bruce can glide and grapple across Gotham, drive the Batmobile and motorcycle, and solve Riddler puzzles while fighting thugs. Ground combat uses rhythmic, QTE-driven punches, kicks, parries, blocks, and dodges, allowing skilled timing to avoid damage. Familiar gadgets reappear, including explosive gel for breaking walls. The game supports co-op with one player as Batman and the other selecting from a rotating roster—Catwoman, Jim Gordon, Nightwing, Robin, and Talia al Ghul—each with unique abilities, and players can swap characters solo.
