I remember back when this was in early access, and in fact I played it in early access and it was just a fun little Lego sandbox game. Now, I don’t know. It’s got an adventuring aspect, that being completing little quests for npcs to get golden bricks for master builder rank, and to unlock stuff in the game, and I guess it does add an actual point to the game, an actual goal, but at the same time, eh. It kind of loses its luster after a bit, and at that point you’d want to just jump into the sandbox mode

An odd and ambitious LEGO collectathon sand box. While discovering and messing around with fresh items and vehicles can be quite fun, once that well dries up all you are left with is the random generation of quests, maps, and golden bricks. The overall lack of direction, even in adventure mode, can make the game pretty dull. Also ridden with several bugs.

The building mechanics are unintuitive, too clunky and slow to be satisfying, but also not complex enough to compete with the versatility of actual LEGO bricks or even LEGO Digital Designer.

I have no clue why this got marketed as a Minecraft competitor, as it is fundamentally different in everything except the vague sandbox genre tag.
