LEGO® Batman™: Legacy of the Dark Knight Deluxe Edition

This game is excellent with a glaring flaw that makes it unplayable for those of us who buy Lego games for couch co-op. The inability for the primary character to swap from Batman to another character during free play ruins all of the open world content. You look at the map to find a collectible, glide or drive to the location, just to find out you need Batgirl tech to solve the puzzle. Player 2, who can swap to any character (except Batman) is 2 islands away working on a different puzzle and this section's fast-travel isn't yet unlocked. You either need to move on to something else (just to find out it needs Jim Gordon tech) or wander around wasting time while player 2 crosses the impressively large map to get to you. If you are a solo player, this game is excellent. The puzzles are fun, the references to every movie/tv version of Batman are funny, the open world is filled with activities. If you buy Lego games for the couch coop, especially if like me you look forward to completing the story so you can explore the world and replay the story with all tech/characters unlocked, this game in current state is useless after completing the story. Had I known I would be stuck as one character for the entire game, I would never have bought this game--much less the deluxe edition. My partner and I have played for dozens of hours so I do not think I will be able to get a refund. The time we played throughout the story was enjoyable. Without meaningful access to post-story content, it is worth maybe $20 and not the $90 I spent.
