Eurogamer.pt - Bruno Galvão - Portuguese - 4 / 5

Legacy of the Dark Knight isn’t just one of the best LEGO Batman games—it’s one of the best Batman games and one of the best LEGO games, an experience that delivers on virtually every level. It’s even better when played in co-op.

GAMINGbible - Kate Harrold - 10 / 10

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight deserves to stand proud as one of the best games of 2026 and within LEGO and Batman’s history.

GRYOnline.pl - Krzysztof Lewandowski - Polish - 8 / 10

This is a really great game for all Batman fans. It can be a bit rough around the edges technically, and the gameplay is a bit too basic at times, but it’s hard not to appreciate just how much the developers love the Dark Knight in all his incarnations.

Gameliner - Rudy Wijnberg - Dutch - 4 / 5

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is the most extensive LEGO Batman game to date, but it isn’t immediately the definitive version.

Gaming Boulevard - Lander Van der Biest - 9 / 10

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight brings the spirit of the Arkham games into the LEGO universe in a way that clicks. Gotham is a joy to explore, the combat feels great, and the humor keeps the darker Batman lore light without losing its charm. The lack of online co-op is a shame, but this is easily one of the strongest LEGO games in years.

IGN Spain - Mario Seijas - Spanish - 8 / 10

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a charming tribute to the DC icon that isn’t afraid to take things with a sense of humor, inviting us on a journey through a less “dark” version of Gotham-but one that’s just as memorable

INVEN - Seungjin Kang - Korean - 8.8 / 10

Layering LEGO’s playful freedom over the Arkham series’ proven gameplay foundation, this is the most Batman-feeling game in years. Its chapter-based structure weaves together homages from across Batman’s vast media history, while an open world built around each Bat-Family member’s distinct identity both honors the Arkham legacy and elevates the LEGO series to a new high.

Manual dos Games - Luiz Henrique Silva - Portuguese - 9 / 10

LEGO Batman: The Legacy of the Dark Knight masterfully delivers on its proposal to celebrate more than 80 years of the hero’s history, bringing a story packed with references and GREAT humor, alongside a lively Gotham City that invites exploration, marking the beginning of a new era for the franchise, despite stepping on a few LEGO bricks with a somewhat repetitive combat system and little enemy variety.

MeuPlayStation - Raphael Batista Cabral Xavier - Portuguese - 85 / 100

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight embraces the Dark Knight’s 86-year legacy with iconic stories, classic suits, and modern story arcs. Inspired by the structure of the Arkham trilogy, the game builds its own identity through lighthearted gameplay, charming humor, and consistently entertaining moments.

Multiplayer First - James Lara - 9.5 / 10

It’s not often I find myself being blown away by a LEGO game. In general, they’re games geared towards a much younger audience of players, and while LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight still maintains much of the playful, blocky heart and soul that makes the LEGO universe so enduringly charming, it also does something very impressive with the Batman IP, both narratively and mechanically, that makes it feel like one of those big blockbuster AAA Batman game that we would get from Rocksteady Studios.

With it pulling from 85 years of Batman history, this feels like a worthwhile tribute to the Caped Crusader. It’s a reminder of why we love him so much, whether we first met him through the gritty lens of modern cinema, the animated classics of our childhood, the comics, or a pile of plastic bricks on the living room floor.

Without a question, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a must-play for all Batman fans out there.

PSX Brasil - Victor Vitório - Portuguese - 85 / 100

In a way, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is easy to evaluate: if you’re willing to be captivated by either LEGO or Batman, or even if you just want to enjoy the simple fun of playing together with a dear one, there are plenty of reasons to join in the romp of defending Gotham on the Bat’s long life journey. On the other hand, those expecting in-depth character and gameplay development should look elsewhere.

Pizza Fria - Lucas Soares - Portuguese - 8.5 / 10

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight stands as one of the most complete titles in the LEGO franchise. Its combination of open world, variety of content, and adaptation of one of the character’s most popular stories results in an engaging and accessible experience.

Push Square - Liam Croft - 8 / 10

A referential and joyful deep dive into the world of Batman, the latest LEGO effort from TT Games is elite brick gaming. Legacy of the Dark Knight just wants to be an enjoyable time, and it refuses to falter from that commitment. This new LEGO Batman will be some of the best fun you have all year.

WellPlayed - Adam Ryan - 9 / 10

Legacy of the Dark Knight’s excellent combat and stealth systems, fun open world, and clear reverence for the World’s Greatest Detective bring it close to plastic perfection.
