Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham hews close lớn the series’ formula, pairing uncomplicated game play with a deep, charming dive into decades’ worth of DC Comics stories and history. But after the impressive freedom of Lego Batman 2 & Lego Marvel, Lego Batman 3 feels far more restrictive in scope, and its inconsistent tone sometimes seems to mock the great DC Comics source material it should be celebrating.
When the story missions are finished, there’s loads more to vày here, including plenty of other mission-style content. We’re sort of left khổng lồ figure that stuff out for ourselves, which is actually not such a bad thing; accidentally stumbling on a mission that recreates an old Adam West Batman TV show episode was fantastic. There are also options to explore the Hall of Justice and Hall of Doom, which are super fun for a DC fan like myself. I also enjoyed unlocking some of the more obscure characters from the DC canon – I’m sure not many people are exactly champing at the bit lớn play as Etrigan or The Question, but it’s great that those more obscure characters get to chia sẻ the stage with the likes of Superman & Wonder Woman.It’s clear the game makers love the source material. From Wonder Woman’s idle animation where she does the Linda Carter-style twirl lớn Flash’s frequent stints on the Cosmic Treadmill and the payoff of that final revelation between Batman and Robin, Lego Batman 3 does a great job of showcasing moments that’ll resonate with fans of the comics.While it’s not quite as developed here as it was in Lego Marvel, I still appreciate that each character has a unique combination of abilities. Martian Manhunter and Superman both have heat vision, but the green guy can also control minds, while Supes has frost breath. This approach khổng lồ character powers gives us lots of options, which are furthered by the excellent new suit system. No longer do you have to lớn wait khổng lồ find a station to lớn swap out for the Magnet suit or the Sonar suit, because now characters lượt thích Batman, Robin, và Cyborg can change their power nguồn setups on the fly. Being able khổng lồ change at will to lớn any suit you’ve unlocked eliminates a lot of tedium. Even better, a quick button press instantly swaps you khổng lồ the suit that’s appropriate khổng lồ the obstacle you’ve encountered.
While not every trò chơi has khổng lồ be open-world khổng lồ be good, playing Lego Batman 3 made me long for the freedom of Lego Batman 2. Instead of roaming through the streets of Gotham at your discretion, you’re mostly just running back and forth between the Batcave and the Watchtower. There are limited open-world options for the various Lantern planets, but those aren’t part of the main story và are generally small và pretty light on things to do. So why even have these unlockable vehicles if there’s nowhere fun to drive them?My biggest disappointment with Lego Batman 3 is its inconsistent tone. The developers definitely love the source material, but there are moments where they take a substantial step away from familiar franchise turf khổng lồ introduce elements that immediately start lớn erode the fun of being in the world of the comics.When Braniac comes lớn Earth, we don’t get to lớn battle him in iconic DC locations lượt thích Smallville, Gorilla City, or Paradise Island; No, Braniac just terrorizes Paris or Pisa. Shortly after that, you spend the final third of the story missions on a sort of sci-fi tour through unfamiliar Lantern worlds, which is kind of a letdown.
I also have khổng lồ question the decision to lớn include these annoying cameos. Instead of DC’s quintessential everyman Jimmy Olsen, this game’s ubiquitous hanger-on is Conan O’Brien. He’s all over the place, repeating the same gags every time you see him. After a while, making jokes about how there are no Labradors in the Batcave laboratory gets kind of old. You even over up spending quite a bit of time with Daffy Duck as Green Loontern, which, again, kills the mood for me. Yes, I get it; it’s a trò chơi where Cyborg can fool a security camera by turning into a washing machine, but there’s a difference between making a joke about the characters and just surrounding them with other stuff that also happens to be part of the Warner Bros. Empire.(I didn’t have as much of a problem with the inclusion of references to lớn the Batman TV show because that, at least, seems to lớn make some sense within Lego Batman 3’s world – và unlike Daffy Duck, Adam West isn’t hanging around the Watchtower talking about space the whole time.)
I lượt thích Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, but I don’t love it as much as I’ve loved previous games in the series. It definitely delivers on the promise of letting me play with charmingly realized versions of many of my favorite DC heroes và villains, & it even presents a setting with lots of great surprises, challenges, & systems that promote variety. As a longtime DC fan, I bởi wish it had given me the chance khổng lồ dig into more locations and plot elements from the comics, but the biggest hurdle for me to clear is the bizarre cameos.

Without giving too much away, Batman & the rest of the Justice League have khổng lồ team up with the likes of Lex Luthor, the Joker, and the rest of the Legion of Doom lớn bring him down, & sort out some trouble with the various Lantern Corps.
