Overview
- Hands-on reports published Tuesday by outlets including GameSpot, PC Gamer, Polygon, Push Square, and Kotaku describe combat with Arkham-like flow, with counters, dodges, and gadget use in a large open-world Gotham.
- A new highest difficulty called Dark Knight lets Batman die and sends players back to the last checkpoint, which TT Games says is a first for a Lego title.
- The roster shifts to a small Bat‑Family with distinct abilities and upgrade trees, and missions often ask you to swap to companions like Catwoman or Commissioner Gordon to use tools tied to specific puzzles.
- Gotham spans multiple islands loaded with side activities, and an expandable Batcave hub lets you track unlocks, replay missions, and decorate the space as you progress.
- Previews note two early caveats for launch buyers: two-player co-op is local only with no online option beyond Steam’s Remote Play Together, and at least one demo boss encounter bugged out and stopped attacking.
