Legacy of the Dark Knight is the Batman game I always dreamed of as a child.
I'd been waiting for it since its announcement, and after several hours of gameplay, I'm not disappointed.
I've always wanted a video game experience that covers the entirety of the masked vigilante's career, including iconic scenes from the films, and I think the journey, from his beginnings with the League of Shadows to becoming Gotham's protector and meeting his first allies, is very well done.
Gotham City is dense and vast, superb in its art direction, with a distinct atmosphere across the four main areas of the open world. Gameplay-wise, it definitely feels like playing a LEGO version of Arkham, simplified and a little wacky, which is both familiar and refreshing. I also really enjoy spending time in the game's photo mode.
In my opinion, it's the best Batman and DC Comics game in over a decade, an experience even more polished than Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and one that can proudly stand alongside the Arkham series among the best video games about the Dark Knight.
