Batman 2 was the first open world Lego game and man did they kill it on the first try. Later open world Lego games tended to take more of an Overworld approach where the map is more of a hub for activity than a level in its own right. Batman 2 on the other hand basically just made Gotham one humongous Lego Batman level with all the same mechanics scattered around to play with. The cast of characters is wildly expensive, it was the first Lego game with voice acting and they crushed it with that, it's exceptional.

Dread Delusion is a game that has some of my favorite RPG writing of all time and thankfully knows it's abilities in other fields. That is to say that the map and exploration is wonderful, the combat is nothing (which I would prefer to it trying to be something and failing. Outside of a complete genre change I see no way that this game would ever end up with astounding combat and it doesn't need it), the writing is impeccable, the music is great, and the art is excellent.

Dread Delusion takes many fascinating routes with its quests. Most major quests turn into a philosophical debate about whatever topic may be at play: subservience that provides comfort, the ability to change oneself, the value that death brings to life, the game covers many interesting topics in its journey and honestly I can't name a weak execution among them.
