What players say
Patterns from long-haul reviewers, taken from each game's verdict. Not live sentiment — each side is dated below.
Astro Bot
The DualSense integration is the standout — haptics and triggers turn every surface, enemy, and gadget into something you feel.
Difficulty swings between brain-dead easy and controller-snapping hard, so completionists hit a few walls on the path to 100%.
from our August 2026 verdict
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
Celebration of Batman's entire history is the hook 100-hour fans rave about, with the Arkham Asylum level as the standout.
Collectible repetition in Catwoman side missions is the friction even platinum chasers flag, alongside Denuvo launch failures.
