GamesRadar: LEGO Batman: The Videogame Review

GamesRadar writes: "Who is Batman to you? The violent lawman of the modern comics? The wink-wink star of the 60's TV show? Tim Burton's gothic icon, perhaps? The point is this: Travellers' Tales have never had a subject so open to LEGO interpretation, and with it, playful experimentation. And boy, do they love it. Did you feel that Indy was a tad shackled to his tombs and dusty continents? Gotham is open for business. The streets are torn from Burton – the looming LEGO gothic architecture is superb – while the animated series supplies villain-centric locations (ice-cream factory for Mr. Freeze, botanical gardens for Poison Ivy). All that's left is to populate it; Tales turning to those innocent early days for their colourful cast. Needless to say, Bane doesn't get to do much paralyzing."

You'll love

* Packed with Bat-goodness
* Jazzes up the LEGO approach
* Interesting puzzle design

You'll hate

* Dodgy platforming
* Comatose AI
* Doesn't revolutionize formula

You can keep them forever if you redeem them for your account before September 26.

Epic Game Store bad!

Oh, free games? Nice!🤣

My problem with EPG is forcing ppl to buy from their store via exclusives locking.

The why is simple. EPG has yet to establish basic feature as a forum to allow players to ask questions or talk game issues.
The always-online also cause issues for the simple fact that it would mean that you lose your purchase if Epic decide to close the store.

Now I have good faith that Epic will address topics and will improve the quality of the store (for example they have now the same refund policy as Steam).

Wouldn't it be nicer if you were able to just...I don't know...buy your games on a disc, bring them home and than install and play them so no company would force you to use a usless app such as a launcher? I know, crazy idea😄

PC players wanted a digital only future. Here it is in all it's glory.

Next stop, streaming services because digital only isn't screwing people over enough.😁

You can still get the free games even if you want to publicly hate EGS and their exclusives policy.

You can access the app and play your games offline. I was playing BL3 yesterday when my internet was down for maintenance.

As far as losing your games if the store closes, that's true for all digital platforms.

@PorkChop
It's good news to know that you can now access your games offline on the EGS apps for it wasn't always the case.
As for losing the game if Steam would close well do you know that can back up the majority of Steam games on a physical media? as long as you have your account (offline) you will be able to play them.
But I agree that more and more games demand online authentification before you can play the game.
