"While the actual brick-by-brick building falls into the same pitfalls on a controller as many strategy games have in the past, the story and open world around the building mechanic really bring the game to life, despite being overly cheesy and self-aware. This takes you to five unique worlds, ranging from the simple jungle world to the more entertaining medieval and Caribbean worlds, where your goal is to retrieve a Happiness Crystal to supply energy, usually by doing some busywork for characters in these worlds. The setup is that your grandpa has asked you to revitalize his abandoned theme park, and you need to use a portal he created to acquire energy to power the new rides. Off the bat, it doesn’t take itself too seriously and benefits from that decision. It’s not a game that’s going to give you much of a mental strain or a deep, immersive world, but for a Lego building game set in a Lego world, it does its job well enough.Īssuming it’s not retelling an existing story, a game set in a world built with small plastic bricks doesn’t need a complicated or intense setup, and Lego Bricktales knows that. While the actual brick-by-brick building falls into the same pitfalls on a controller as many strategy games have in the past, the story and open world around the building mechanic really bring the game to life, despite being overly cheesy and self-aware. It’s a match made in heaven on paper, and in practice it works mostly well. Lego Bricktales comes to us from Clockstone, the creators of the Bridge Constructor series, leveraging their building expertise on the Lego platform. While other licensed Lego games, like the recent Skywalker Saga, take the majority of the mindshare for the IP, there hasn’t been much in the way of a real building-focused game, at least until now. You’d think a building-focused game would be the bread and butter for Lego’s video games, the greatest building toy in the world.
