super frenemies: the game
Lego dc super villains is a blast to play. Imagine the villain levels in LEGO Batman 1, but 10 times more polished.

Lego DC Super-Villains is a Lego-themed action-adventure platform video game developed by Traveller's Tales. The fourth installment in the Lego Batman series of games, it is a spin-off that focuses entirely on villains of the DC Universe; it is the first in the series to do so since the villain levels from Lego Batman: The Videogame.
While the core gameplay follows the same style as past Lego titles, including the addition of a two-player cooperative multiplayer mode, DC Super-Villains is the first title to incorporate a customized character into the story.

Review MantaOrlando 3/5 · Mar 27, 2025
Quite a disappointment.
Played it on PC. The port itself was good. However, I didn't vibe with LEGO DC Super Villains as much as LEGO Batman: The Videogame or LEGO Batman 2.
I was hoping they went back to a level select screen and continue story really meant playing the next chapter, instead of having an open world. I enjoyed the open world …

I was hoping they went back to a level select screen and continue story really meant playing the next chapter, instead of having an open world. I enjoyed the open world in LEGO Batman 2 more, even when it's very glitchy.
It's a solid game, just not for me.
Review SinAndPunish 4/5 · Dec 8, 2022
Underrated but still flawed.
This game is fun. The mechanic of playing as villains is sweet and the hub world is grand! It can be a glitchy and buggy mess sometimes thought but, overall, it’s good.

I hated every minute of this one, played it through with my son (who has always loved Lego; though the games not so much) who was bored long before the end. I think someone other than Traveller's Tales needs to make one of these now. People fling shit at Game freak for the Pokémon formula each generation but TT have literally made the same game reskinned forever and never seem to land criticism.
On a purely technical level the PS4 version (free on PS+) was a buggy mess, we had crashes to the dashboard, regular freezes in game, prompts that failed to appear so had to exit level, restart level and try again in hopes of being able to progress, splitscreen regularly causes headaches with camera hiding obvious things needed to progress and flips around all over the place when playing sections with the likes Flash or just on the world map. Shambles of a videogame.
I never saw the appeal with Traveler's Tales series and here they are pumping this stuff out.

If you like digital LEGO games, you should play this.
If you've played any LEGO games in the past, and you like the DC universe, you're in for a (repetitive) treat!
It's a lot more of the same of all of the LEGO games, so you know what you're getting into. Just play it and enjoy it.
