Returned to this game again in preparation for Dragon's Dogma 2 and really enjoyed it. It's a bit janky in certain places however the pawn system and combat are still great.
After spending well over 100 hours platinuming this game, it's just too long. I enjoyed the gameplay and graphics however for me the story doesn't hold up well enough to justify the length, and the map could have been half the size. I had to take two or three major breaks from the game just to get to the end.
It's a great game however this remaster should have been much better, only 30 fps on PS4 Pro for a game that originally came out in 2009.

The good:
I enjoyed a few of the companions (not all) and the writing at some points was legitimately funny. Also uses skill based dialogue options a lot which makes the choices you make levelling up feel like they matter.
The mid:
Some planets are pretty well sized, others feel very small.
The bad:
Game feels a tad short. Load times on PS4 are not great and visuals are not the best.
Overall it was nice returning to an Obsidian RPG however it would have been interesting to see the difference an AAA budget would have made.

Had a great time with this, I was lucky not to experience many bugs. Really hope they can refine the formula through some DLC or an eventual sequel. Story held up pretty well except for the ending.
Great Lego game that did a really good job of re-creating the movies.
Simple and enjoyable Lego recreation of a great trilogy. Played it straight after watching the movies again and you really notice the extra little details.
Got it for free which made the extremely short length a bit easier to justify.
Collecting studs to 'level up' was an interesting feature to add which I actually enjoyed a lot.

Pros:
Includes stuff from other Disney properties yet to be explored in game form.
Map is quite fun to explore.
Most levels are pretty fun.
50/50:
Doesn't really expand on the Lego formula however that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Cons:
On the shorter side for a Lego game however if you get it cheap then not a huge deal.
Overall:
An enjoyable Disney Lego experience which seems to be one of the only proper old school Disney Lego games that will actually get made.

Multiplayer locked collectibles and trophies really ruin the replay value as most people will never have a partner to get 100%
Overall: 3/5

Standard Lego game, not great not terrible. Not being able to switch suits in Free Play was a bad move.

Game is about 20hrs too long, I enjoyed the first half of the story however it could have ended much sooner. The gameplay loop isn't good enough to be a 50hr game, however fine for about 20-30hrs.
I actually didn't find the main character that bad, some of the missions had pacing issues though considering it's meant to be somewhat of an action game.

An enjoyable few hours, not too long and the story is basic but enjoyable.

A rare Australian developed game which is fun for a few hours.
