it's not without the franchises typical charms, but LEGO Batman 3 is one of the few LEGO titles that feels like a complete chore by the end, half set in dull, metallic sci-fi corridors and no interesting hub worlds to explore alongside a lengthy list of fetch quests and not-as-funny-as-they-think-it-is writing.
What can I say except... It tried at being something different and it didn't succeed, the new hub level design was just disappointing and while the story and actual levels were still fun the downgrade from Lego Batman 2 was just too harsh for me to truly enjoy this game.
Still worth playing but with it's own caveats.

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham packs a massive roster of DC Comics heroes and villains into a space-faring adventure. The classic LEGO humor and charm are in full force, and the gameplay loop of smashing bricks, solving puzzles, and swapping between characters remains satisfying. However, the story feels a bit unfocused, some missions are repetitive, and the open-world sections are surprisingly limited compared to previous LEGO games. Still, fans of Batman, LEGO games, or just lighthearted, family-friendly fun will find plenty to enjoy.
forgettable and kind of ugly? I'm so sorry Lego Batman 3 but I can't remember anything from you. The depressing thing about this batch of Lego games (Lego Marvel Superheroes 2, Lego Avengers, Lego DC Supervillains) is there is always love and detail and care oozing from them, but something about them is just. Not there. maybe one too many god rays on the brainiac boss fight level? idk.
