Great potential but it feels a bit like playing a beta rather than an actual released game. The building, the mechanics, the content, the interface - everything feels incomplete and un-tested. Every few minutes someone from the group would take turns asking “Did anyone actually play this?”

Additionally, coming off of Terraria didn’t really do this game any favors. In Terraria, there are so many items, armor sets, weapons, and cosmetics to collect and deck out your customized character with. In LEGO Fortnite, there’s no armor and if you want to change your appearance, your only option is to spend real money. So is the nature of F2P games.

Luckily, it has a high player count and, knowing Epic, they’ll throw money and resources at this thing. One year from now, I’m sure LEGO Fortnite will be a fun game worth playing. It’s certainly got promise but, as it is, it’s more of a beta with a sad empty world and I don’t think it’s really worth investing time into.

+ Good foundation and great potential
+ Solid visuals

- Feels like a beta
- Stark, empty world with nothing to find or explore
- Travel options are slow and limited
- Building feels terrible
- Missing basic quality of life features that exist in other survival games
- No armor, special weapons, or any kind of unique loot to find
- Appearance changes are locked behind skins that cost real money
