    About the game

    You follow Bruce Wayne as he becomes Batman, in a story told in chapters with an open-world Gotham between the missions. On foot or in a Batmobile, you head off to side jobs, puzzles and collectibles, and you can fill your Batcave with the props you gather.

    In two-player mode, one of you is Batman and the other plays one of his allies, such as Robin or Catwoman. Each ally has their own gadgets, and many puzzles are built around them. Fights use counters in the style of the Arkham games, against crowds of henchmen and a few big villains. The screen splits when you play together. There is no online co-op, so you both need to share one device.

    It is a little tougher than older LEGO games but still forgiving and funny, with three difficulty levels. It suits a parent and child or two Batman fans.
