Play LEGO Batman - The Videogame (SQUiRE) (EU) Online

I picked up LEGO Batman for the Nintendo DS back in 2008, a time when handheld games were really hitting their stride. It was developed by Traveller's Tales, the same folks who did the LEGO Star Wars games, so you knew what you were getting into. It fit right in with that era of portable gaming, offering a solid, chunky adventure you could take anywhere.

You control Batman and Robin, switching between them to fight through waves of themed villains across Gotham. The main goal is to stop the usual suspects like Joker and Penguin from causing chaos. You punch thugs into piles of LEGO studs, use the touch screen to build grapple points and vehicles, and unlock suits that change how you solve environmental puzzles. Robin's batarangs can hit distant targets Batman can't reach, and every successful combo feels satisfyingly physical. The pacing is steady, with a difficulty that never feels unfair, just a constant stream of things to smash and rebuild. It feels like playing with a virtual LEGO set where you get to be the hero.
