TOP FUN THINGS TO DO:
⭐️ Playing pretty much every single DC character you can think of.
⭐️ Being evil never felt so good!
⭐️ Flying. running, driving, swimming. Every single type of travel is so fun.
THE UNIQUES:
💎 Being a villain but with a twist!
💎 Playing as a custom character, this is the first time WB have done this in the DC universe.
PLAYER GAMING REQUIREMENTS:
💼 LEGO.
💼 Action.
💼 Adventure.
PROS:
+ YOU are the main character in this story, this is the first time I've seen LEGO do anything that involves a custom character, sure, there's LEGO worlds but this is way different on that scale.
+ It's the largest open world LEGO game to date, which is crazy since you've got LEGO Marvels to compete with. On top of that, there's hundreds of gold bricks to collect along with many other collectables.
+ The customisation with your character is endless, with the option to go back and alter your characters abilities, there's so much to do purely on just your character.
+ I can't pass up the opportunity to give credit to the voice actors, the likes of Joker and Harley Quinn (Played by Tara Strong, massive fan of her work) are spot on! Top, top talents with the voice actors and it shows in this game.
+ For a LEGO game, the graphics are pretty impressive, nothing is re-skinned, everything looks polished and very enjoyable to explore the DC universe.
CONS:
- The game is intended for controller, if you're a keyboard and mouse user, you'll have a hard time with the controls.
- Still no online multiplayer, it would be nice to buddy up with another player without needing to have them sitting by your side, come on LEGO it's the 21st sensory!
- A little dig here, but there's so many DC characters on here that I didn't even know existed, the only reason why I threw this in the negative section is because there's no real reason to have this many characters since you'll most likely have a character that already does their job. Again, this isn't a huge issue but I thought I'd address it.
VERDICT:
It's another LEGO DC game guys! And DC Super-Villains really hit this one of the park! I've had a hot and cold experience with LEGO DC games but I thoroughly enjoyed this one, the world is very enjoyable to explore and I felt the urge to collect all the gold bricks, where as the previous LEGO games, I had no real strive to do that.
I had a few hiccups with crashes but nothing serious enough for this to lose any points, in fact, the only real complaint I had was there's no way to play online, no idea why LEGO games can't branch out with this.
With all that said, I would like to announce this game as the best LEGO game in the market, iT surpasses all the other LEGO games, I've played out there and it'll probably be up there for many more years, keep up the good work TT.
Total Score = 91/100.
GAMEPLAY:
The fourth instalment 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 of past Lego titles, DC Super-Villains is the first title to incorporate a customised character into the story. The plot centers around the villains of the DC Universe who, in the aftermath of the Justice League's disappearance, reluctantly take on the role of the Earth's protectors and must defeat a rival group of super villains from another universe, who are masquerading as heroes while searching for a powerful item for their master.

Isn't it ironic how a "kids game" from 2018, not only has a better plot than Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League. But that it plays better in every single way as well?
10/10 Not the Squad game we deserve, but the Squad game we needed.

I've played a few Lego games to 100% already and this is by far the best one yet.
— Story: It has a very creative story, I enjoyed it a lot and it's veeeeeery entertaining and fun! I liked it way better than any other lego games. Plus, I think it's amazing that even though it has the traditional 15-level format, it also includes 5-extra levels that reminded me of the first lego Batman game, with the extra levels telling the "other side" of the story.
— Open world: It is absolutely the best open world I've experienced in lego games. I really liked Lego Batman 2, but this takes it to a whole new level, with nods, jokes, references and story-rich content for every single building. It does more to make it feel like a city: It makes it feel like multiple cities. There's a clear distinction of every single one of the districts, it's really wonderful tbh.
— free roam: I wasn't a fan of the flying mechanic (it got worse in comparisson to previous games), but given the size of the map, it was equally entertaining to travel by vehicle, flying or doing fast travel. There were not only gold brick puzzles, but also fun little "quiz" challenges that were very entertaining and creative, it took me a while to figure out all of them but it didn't feel like something boring to me.
— free play: I am not very into this aspect, because I ran into very specific zones that would require to trigger certain actions to go through even though it's something that could have been done by a free play character (i.e. flying). The 5-minikit per level it's definitely an improvement though.
— Fight: In this game there's a new mechanic of "grabbing" and executing certain finishers. Despite that being cool the first few times, I have to be honest and say that I missed the good old smashing the hit button, because it wasn't as satisfactory as it was before. Also, the heat rays weren't as useful for combat anymore (I homelander-ed everyone in previous games, this time it wasn't possible)
— Character roster: I love the fact that we're getting rid of the character variations (i find them annoying on free play), there are only a few of them so I'm glad it wasn't packed with that. Asides from that, there's a very large roster with a ton of amazing characters, I ended up switching a lot given the fact that I just loved every single one (unlike some other games where I usually stuck with the same 5 characters for free play). Another positive aspect is the filters by abilities, those were extremely useful and great to check every character out!
— Caracter customization: hands down the best customization in a lego game. I usually don't spend a lot of time on those because it ends up being somehow boring for me, but I had a blast while making my characters. It's EXTREMELY filled with different aspects to make your own creations. It allows you to choose every single piece and ability that your character has, it was a blast and definitely a highlight of this game.
— DLC content: Although some of the missions were short, I enjoyed playing them, specially the Young Justice one. The characters were also amazing and very cool (i'm looking at you, constantine and zatanna). I still won't ever forgive that they made a whole model for Nightwing and Batgirl in YJ style AND THEN THEY WEREN'T PLAYABLE CHARACTERS.
— Bugs: I ran into a TON of bugs in this game, way more than i've ever found in any other game. Sometimes switching tabs would reset my visual settings, volume 0 would still play some sounds (such as glass breaking or car sounds), a character switch not loading properly (once i got bald aquaman lol) or even more annoying and game breaking ones where I had to restart the whole level because it didn't load properly.
Overall, I'd say this is my favorite lego game by far. It improved in a lot of aspects, it had SEVERAL issues that were annoying but weren't enough to ruin my experience. I had a great time getting playing to the 100%.

Mark Hamill reprised his role as the Joker in this one. 'Nuff said!
The first time a girl ever showed interest in me was when she asked if I needed help on my Lego DC Supervillains play through. At the time I was young and this went over my head at first, but in all fairness I found her annoying and NO MY ASS DOES NOT NEED NO HELP IN LEGO DC SUPERVILLAINS!!!! I AM FULLY CAPABLE OF PLAYING BY MY DAMN SELF!! ESPECIALLY NOT FROM A GIRL STUPID!
This is easily one of the best offerings in this series. I think it is the perfect mix of childish and serious. The technical peak of TT games. While having the best voice cast, character roster, and story I’ve seen in a DC game. The title screen music alone tells you how much personality and effort went into this. They managed to make a custom main character work really well, both giving them plot relevance (not just as a plot device, but as a character) and even a lot of personality without talking, reminicent of the older non-voice-acted lego games. They made Harley her own character with a ton of charm separate from the Joker and her jukebox gimmick is just really fun. The character creator in this one is hands down the best one that has ever been in a lego game. Not only do you get to design your own character by using various pieces you unlock, but you can dye them various colors as well. Your avatar also gets stronger and gains new powers as the story progresses.
As a lifelong DC fan it’s one of my favorite games ever. It’s on par with like the Arkham games in terms of Easter eggs and explorable areas, and somehow they make all of the characters play different and feel different given the sheer amount of them, it’s quite impressive. It’s an INCREDIBLY detailed game, every corner of the hub is detailed and textured and there are no bland areas what so ever. The storyline was amazing and by making your own "Rookie" to play through the story you can decide if you’re on the heroes or villains side. Personally, I think it’s the best DC LEGO game we’ve gotten next to the first LEGO Batman. Primarily because I feel it succeeded more in opening up the DC Universe at large than what LEGO Batman 3 did, and the fact that your primary custom character is actually part of the story.
That all being said, this is still a Lego game. If you didn't like any before this, this isn't going to change your mind. It has all the problems the series is known for. Hand holding, horrendous combat, making sure to slowly pan the camera around to make sure you see exactly what the solution is to the puzzle... If you can get past that stuff, this is great. Overall an amazing lego game definetly worth the money. It’s an amazing game and I would recommend it if for nothing else than the sheer amount of stuff you can do and see.

Lego DC Super-Villains is a very interesting game. Its fairly rare where a game comes out and you get to play as the villains, so I was a little excited to try and evil Lego game. Unfortunately, they play it safe and even though you are playing as villains, your goal is to save the world. I was also disappointed by how few of the characters I recognized, but that’s more on me for not knowing many DC characters, and a little bit on DC for being worse than Marvel at making their characters mainstream.
However, this game also does a lot right, which made me really enjoy it overall. Firstly, I’ve always had a lot of fun playing with custom character creators, including those found in Lego games, but I’ve always been disappointed how Lego games only let you use your custom character when re-playing missions, something I rarely do. This game solves that. You start by creating a character, who is then a part of the main story. I think it worked really well in this game, especially since your character is not so central to the plot that they are in every single mission. This allowed me to play as my character some of the time, without feeling like my character was forced to be the main character in an already well established universe.
I also thought a lot of the voices sounded familiar. I’m not sure if they re-used voice actors from other DC media, such as the Batman Arkham games, or if they just got similar sounding voice actors, but it was really cool to hear voices that I was already familiar with for many of the characters that I did recognize.
During the 12.6 hours it took me to beat this game, I did have 1 crash on one of the post-main story missions, but that may have just been a fluke.
Overall, this is another Lego game. I was a little disappointed by the direction the story went, but it also did some things I really liked, and overall it is a Lego game. They’re all kind of the same so if you like Lego and DC, you’ll probably really like this. Just don’t go in expecting to be doing much actual villainy.

This game took so long to 100%. I genuinely forgot what the campaign was even about. Like It took fucking years for me to 100% this. 100% this was a fucking a pain in the ass, It eventually started to feel more like work than gameplay. Would still recommend tho especially if you're a big DC fan like me.

The pinnacle of the lego super hero formula. This is a fun game and I played most of this with my son. Tons of things to do and characters to unlock. Wait until this is on sale and pick up this and all the DLC.
