Quick Look: The Lego Movie 2 Videogame

but how many pizzas do you deliver in this game?

Abby, 11 minutes in: "I feel like I'm maybe missing something."

This is the exact feeling I have whenever I try to play these Lego games. The puzzles are so unintuitive and they just let you twist in the wind forever as things that should work don't work.

If I recall, neither LEGO Movie (nor The LEGO Batman Movie, I haven't seen the Ninjago movie) have a fart joke. They have a lot more physical, visual, and wordplay humor at their disposal.

Abby likes her cowgirls.

Also this game seems baaaaad.

Do any of the lego Games just give you all the pieces and let you build freely at any point?

Sheriff Dan arrives just after the nick of time.

LEGO Worlds does that.

"LEGOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's a game for Kids! Oh Fuck I fell down a waterfall."

Pretty much sums it up.

The European LEGO competitor Dan was thinking of is Playmobil; it's a German builder toy that's vaguely similar.

Systar System... Dan: "Is that a play on 'sister'"?

Dan's Lego man looks like the sheriff from Deadly Premonition.

@dixavd: I'd answer your question but the answer is in the movie.

As for this game, I got it for my kids the day it came out, they said it's the greatest Lego game they've played, and I own all of them at this point.

Looks like there are at least some new ideas in this one, but I'm just so very tired of Lego games by now.

Dan at his very... best.

I can see what Abby means about the colors being kind of overwhelming to the eyes in this specific Lego game. I honestly haven't played any of these games, but I think the best looking one that I've seen was the Lord of the Rings one. That game was very green and pretty.

Something about the flow of this is odd and plodding. It seems aimless and kinda limp.

Sounds like my sex life...and every single LEGO game ever

Good to see them take the loading screens from Lego Dimensions and use them again.

Why would you play this game without bothering to watch the movie?

It seems like they went with using Lego Worlds as a base for this game and then kind of molded it into a more traditional style Lego game. Though I didn't put that much time into worlds so maybe I'm wrong, the last game though, Lego DC Super Villains, definitely was a traditional standard style Lego game though.

The thing I most dislike about the admittedly few modern LEGO games I've played is how heavily they lean on sections where you're in a large area with relatively simple, albeit time-consuming, puzzles while enemies swarm you. The OG LEGO Star Wars games were simple, sure, but most of the charm came from just seeing those iconic areas/scenes LEGO-fied, and that was enough for me as far as what I was expecting from it.
