The team went through development hell to refresh the Lego video game series into...this? I'm afraid it was not time well spent.
An emphasis was placed on the new combat system, which ultimately amounts to nothing. Does it have combos? Sure! Does it have damage numbers popping out? You bet! Does it have proper 3rd-person shooting mechanics! Pretty much! Does it change the game at all? Not one bit!
Feel free to hack your way to victory, as that's all that's ultimately required. But where this game really falls apart is the bloat. There was no reason to stuff 9 movies into one game. There's barely any room to tell a story, instead bursting at the seams with horrific side missions and collectibles.
It's all about as much fun as stepping on a lego barefoot in the middle of the night.
