Despite being clearly made with children in mind, TT games are a hoot, with genuinely funny writing and inventive gameplay, putting a playful spin on anything they adapt.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight blows that formula to smithereens, dropping players into an enormous, open world Gotham, and any fans of the Arkham series would do themselves a serious disservice not to play it.
Starting off with Bruce Wayne's origin story, we see him progress through training with the League of Shadows to becoming the Caped Crusader.
Here, Batman will be joined by a secondary character, be it Jim Gordon, Catwoman, Robin or a number of others, each with their own unique gadgets and abilities.
These levels are typically focused on one of the iconic villains of the Batman series – our preview saw us taking on Carmine Falcone, Poison Ivy and Two-Face – each of whom has a typically ridiculous LEGO twist.
Beyond the silly set pieces, the writing and slapstick humour on display is the Traveller's Tales team at their very best; I've never been to a preview where I've heard so many people laugh out loud before.
Where LEGO Batman's gameplay really comes into its own, though, is with the combat, which is excellent.
Stealth plays a big role here too, as you can assassinate enemies from above, or sneak up behind them for a quick kill.
The fight against Poison Ivy, for example, is spread across phases, and involves a mixture of platforming, light puzzle solving, and of course, a bit of punching.
After all I've discussed so far, we still haven't covered what is perhaps LEGO Batman's greatest achievement, which is its vast open world.
These range from your typical street brawls where you take on a few thugs to Riddler and Cluemaster puzzles, unlocking subway stations to help you fast travel around the city, and street races.
This is all very cleverly handled, too. Instead of the crime events being dead content once you've done a couple of them, they seem to always take place near something like a subway or Riddler puzzle, giving you a way of finding the more hidden content without having to brute force search for it.
I have previewed enough games to know that what we're allowed to see and the final product can be vastly different, and therefore that I should temper my expectations.
Some fans of the Arkham series will undoubtedly sneer and give this one a miss because "it's just a game for kids."
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a banger, and I cannot wait to blitz around Gotham in my silly little Batmobile solving riddles once more.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight releases on 22 May 2026 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
