Batman: Legacy of the Dark Night on Switch 2

When the Lego “Batman - Legacy of the Dark Knight” first came out I read the reviews (everyone seemed to like it) and decided to wait for the Switch edition as I like playing games on the Switch. I normally download games directly from the Nintendo store because I’m lazy, but this time I ended up buying the physical game because it was quite a bit cheaper on Amazon. This of course makes no sense.

When the box arrived I discovered that what I had actually bought was a cartridge that serves as a key to download and run a copy of the game. So anyone getting the boxed version to try and avoid buying more storage for their Switch will be disappointed.

The game itself is, er, fine. From the reviews I was expecting things to have moved along a bit from earlier games, which I enjoyed a lot, but no - you get the usual stuff (including a really annoying driving mission early on). The cut scenes are very good, the city is well rendered and everything moves along nicely. If you’re thinking of buying it you could do worse.
