There are a few companies out there that enjoy remaking slightly tweaked or re-skinned versions ofLego Batman Lego Batman - the same game, over and again – but there are only a few games that can do it and still keep it fresh. Nintendo does it with Zelda, Mario and Metroid. BioWare has done it with KOTOR and Mass Effect.
Traveller's Tales is now trying it too with Lego Star Wars (in all its iterations and forms), Lego Indy and Lego Batman – and frankly the cracks are beginning to show.
The gameplay is tired, dull and repetitive. There's nothing here Bit-tech hasn't already seen and what there is, just isn't as funny as it all used to be because they've seen it too many times. It's very much gaming by a formula – and this is a formula which has been done into the ground.
Overused and underwhelming, Lego Batman isn't really all that bad a game and if it's your entrance to the series then you may get a laugh or two out of it though it is by far the weakest in the franchise. If you've played any of the previous Legos though then now is a good time to move on.
Humble Bundle has just released its new bundle that brings together eight popular Batman games. With every purchase of this bundle, you will be supporting the charity of your choice.
Yeah, that's a good point. Still, if anyone missed out on them, this is a great deal.
Wow. That is so cheap, but I know I personally already have all the games in the list. haha. I guess I should have waited.

You can keep them forever if you redeem them for your account before September 26.
My problem with EPG is forcing ppl to buy from their store via exclusives locking.
The why is simple. EPG has yet to establish basic feature as a forum to allow players to ask questions or talk game issues.
The always-online also cause issues for the simple fact that it would mean that you lose your purchase if Epic decide to close the store.
Now I have good faith that Epic will address topics and will improve the quality of the store (for example they have now the same refund policy as Steam).
Wouldn't it be nicer if you were able to just...I don't know...buy your games on a disc, bring them home and than install and play them so no company would force you to use a usless app such as a launcher? I know, crazy idea😄
PC players wanted a digital only future. Here it is in all it's glory.
Next stop, streaming services because digital only isn't screwing people over enough.😁
You can still get the free games even if you want to publicly hate EGS and their exclusives policy.

You can access the app and play your games offline. I was playing BL3 yesterday when my internet was down for maintenance.
As far as losing your games if the store closes, that's true for all digital platforms.
@PorkChop
It's good news to know that you can now access your games offline on the EGS apps for it wasn't always the case.
As for losing the game if Steam would close well do you know that can back up the majority of Steam games on a physical media? as long as you have your account (offline) you will be able to play them.
But I agree that more and more games demand online authentification before you can play the game.
