5 Awesome LEGO Games to Replay While Waiting for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight

1. LEGO Batman Trilogy

There’s no better time to revisit the classic LEGO Batman games. In this Videogame, you can battle your way through Gotham as the caped crusader and his trusty sidekick – and you can also cause mayhem while playing iconic villains. LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes expanded the fun with other DC heroes and villains such as Superman, Wonder Woman, and Lex Luthor, and even added voice acting. Finally, LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham took the adventure all over the DC universe. All three games are available as a bundle on Steam, so what are you waiting for?

2. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

The LEGO Batman games weren’t the first LEGO games to get a modern reimagining. The LEGO Star Wars games received a shiny reimagining in the form of The Skywalker Saga, which reportedly inspired Legacy of the Dark Knight. You go on a journey through all nine mainline Star Wars movies, exploring over twenty iconic planets, each of which is richly detailed and full of stuff to break apart. The game’s massive scope is incredible, and of course, Star Wars mixes with LEGO humor perfectly.

3. LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga

Even after the release of The Skywalker Saga, the classic LEGO Star Wars games are still very much worth playing. When The Complete Saga combined LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game and LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, it gave us a LEGO playground through the entire pre-Disney-buyout saga. The game features faithful recreations of the movie scenes with a LEGO twist, letting you feel like you’re playing in the movies. Plus, you can play as a large variety of characters with different skills.

4. The Marvel LEGO Games

Why not play the games about DC’s rival superheroes? LEGO Marvel Super Heroes lets you play as a variety of iconic Marvel characters through an original story. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 added more characters to fight as and locations to explore, while LEGO Marvel’s Avengers gave us an open-world adventure through the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It goes to show that when you mix LEGO with superheroes, you will likely get gold.

5. LEGO Lord of the Rings

Yes, a serious franchise like Lord of the Rings can be skillfully adapted into LEGO form. This game manages to skillfully weave LEGO humor with downright epic battles and exploration. You’ll feel like you’re inside Peter Jackson’s beloved trilogy and all the warm, fuzzy feelings that come with it. The LEGO: The Hobbit game is good too, but be forewarned that it only includes two of the three Hobbit movies: An Unexpected Journey and The Desolation of Smaug.

Conclusion

You really can’t go wrong in the world of LEGO games. LEGO games almost always utilize a lot of love, attention to detail, and great humor. As the Legacy of the Dark Knight trailer shows, the quality of LEGO games still seems to be very high. There’s a lot to look forward to with Legacy of the Dark Knight, but in the meantime, you can immerse yourself into other LEGO worlds. Don’t forget to break apart the environments.
