LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight review

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is the newest game here, released on Steam on May 22, 2026, and its 95% positive score across 6,927 English reviews is close to the top Arkham games. TT Games, the studio behind LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, tells Batman's story from Bruce Wayne's training with the League of Shadows through building a family of allies: Jim Gordon, Catwoman, Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl. The villains include The Joker, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy and Bane. The Steam page describes a new combat system that mixes combos, stealth and detective skills, plus Batmobiles and Batcycles, the Tumbler among them, in an open Gotham City with landmarks such as Arkham Asylum, Ace Chemicals and Wayne Tower. Two things hold it back in our scoring. It costs $69.99, more than three Rocksteady games combined, and it needs Windows 11, 16 GB of RAM and 50 GB of storage. Those costs put it eighth.
