Traveller's Tales's Lego video games have captured the creativity and whimsy of Lego building blocks for nearly a decade. The latest game in the series, Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham ($29.99), marries the simple fun of past Lego games with playful storytelling that draws from decades of Batman and DC Comics history. The result is a pleasantly rich experience, despite some repetitive gameplay. I reviewed the PC game, but Beyond Gotham is also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, last-generation consoles, and heldhelds.
