#The lego movie pc gameplay full
Traditionally, Lego games are 3D action-platformers with light puzzle elements, a fixed camera angle during their main stages, and an open world hub full of mini side missions. I played 12 hours of the game on PS4 Pro, completing the story and half of the side missions, and about 3 hours of the Switch version, before writing this review. And if you thought the essentially-unchanged formula had gotten stale over the last fifteen years and 8 million games, your ship has finally come in.
It’s not as demonstratively “expensive-looking” as the other games in the Lego franchise, but it’s still a quality time. While I was initially put off and even repulsed by the changes, I eventually got over myself… and what I found is a fun and engaging open world platformer that’s more than worthy of its legacy.īuilt on top of the core engine from Lego Worlds, Lego Movie 2 has a design that’s probably a lot more sustainable and kind to the developers that have to crank these out at a breakneck pace to hit movie releases, while also providing completely refreshed systems for longtime fans. I was all prepared to type that sentence in this review, as well.īut to my shock, and initial horror, The Lego Movie 2 Videogame throws out the vast majority of the elements from this long-running hit franchise in favor of new designs.
Every Lego game review must contain some variant on “this new entry in TT Games’ long-running franchise of action games doesn’t change the now-classic Lego game formula, but it’s still good.”
