Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight: Nintendo Switch 2 Review

Developed by TT Games Studios
Published by Warner Bros Games
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2

The Lego games franchise is starting to build up a series of Nintendo Switch 2 releases, with the bonus that these titles have largely released elsewhere already, so the portable handheld versions of the game actually benefit from being the complete edition.

This port of the release is faithful to what's already been out and more than capably delivers what you'd expect of the games - trademark humour, cartoony moments, solid combat and open world exploration.

The Lego games titles have always been a strong contender for pick up and play mentality that appeals to all ages. This latest takes that love to the extreme as it follows the entire Batman franchise story, delivering a fair bit of unlockable content and free-flow combat that apes the Rocksteady Games franchise that proved to be so popular.

Meshing together Batman's past on the screen and providing more of a homage to the series' enduring success, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight brings light platforming with a longer narrative into play, adding in stealth and hidden Lego builds to make a game that's fun for all ages - even if it does occasionally feel a little pick up and play, rather than long hours of gameplay.

In terms of the port, the title looks polished on the Nintendo Switch 2, barely dropping in fidelity or scope throughout. And there's no denying the game plays well on a portable, with the Nintendo Switch hardware coping with plenty of stud-breaking action on the screen, as soundtracks blare and hordes of villains try to overcome the bat.

Ultimately, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight on the Nintendo Switch 2 is a solid port, a reminder of an enjoyable game that plays well and a sign that TT Games Studios pours a lot of love into its franchises and doesn't ever let the fans down.

Silver Pines: PS5 Review

Created by Wych Elm Games
Published by Team 17
Platform: PS5

The ideas of an abandoned village, a detective placed in the middle and a compelling mystery to play out are not new by any stretch of the imagination.

But Wych Elm Games' latest, Silver Pines, combines the familiar in an unsettling mix of Metroidvania exploration and mystery thriller. It's a heady mix and thanks to some great visuals and some intelligent storytelling, it's the kind of game that will consume hours of your time while simultaneously terrifying you.

You are private eye Red Walker, who, as the game begins, has just arrived at a diner. Waking up at the seemingly abandoned diner, you shamble around the spooky venue to discover no one is around, the front door is locked and the radio is spouting emergency warnings for people to stay in.

After some investigation, and discovering a key, Red picks up a ringing payphone to be told he's to find Eddie Velvet, a singer-songwriter and that there's a storm coming. But there's more to the story, and to reveal anything else, would be to spoil it.

Using point and click mechanics and meshing together elements of survival horror, Silver Pines makes a compelling argument for the return of the genre and the simplicity of the very familiar formula. With a great sense of atmosphere and a relatively solid set of gaming mechanics, the game has a way of lulling you into a false sense of security before unleashing monsters upon you at every turn.

But it's also the animated world which excels here too. Filled with details and yet never feeling overstuffed, it's a relative joy to explore every possible arena and discover the devious secrets within. The almost painterly approach to the graphics works well and the shade of fog and general grey that haunts most of it will give you nightmares for a long time to come.

With neo-noir culture informing a lot of the game's backdrop, Silver Pines is perhaps a gaming successor to the likes of David Lynch - it's deeply absorbing, rewarding yet difficult and entirely different from what's been produced before.
