So I came into this game wanting to satiate a random Lego game fix I had, and of the games in my backlog, this one was the shortest to finish. And the final thoughts? Well, I didn't have a horrible time, nor did I have a fully enjoyable time. One might call it an average or meh experience.

Seriously though I wouldn't say this is a bad game. At its core, it's still the classic LEGO game formula that's simple and streamlined during story mode but opens up much more in free play. The character roster is humungous, and once you have access to them all (as well as the cheats), 100% is a breeze. Some levels have cool segments that are usually on rails or vehicle/mech sections, and some pieces in the soundtrack are fun too. And they included video clips from the movie as part of the cutscenes, something I loved seeing in older movie tie-in games.

But several things drag the game down. And for some points I do mean literally. Good lord the pacing for this game gets slow as hell at points. Not helped by how crazy they went with the character classes this time. Do you want to fix certain machines? Select a construction worker. Grapple? Get Batman Rainbow Blocks? Unikitty. F*CKING WATER? Get the one and only fireman. So on and so forth there are WAY too many character abilities which makes sense for the movie in question, but it drags down the pace when you have to do a character-specific action, but then do it to let the other characters catch. Of course what I'm saying there is mostly pointed at the story mode (because flying characters break the game in free play), but it can still be a drag when going after gold manuals or pants. Every level is also very long, to the point where there are save points in each level and some levels are just not that fun. It makes sense to take liberties when making levels for a movie tie-in game, but the route they took here just seems like they needed something to pad out game time.

Overall, not the worst game I've played. Compared to the other LEGO games I've played this one's definitely at the bottom, which will change once I play other LEGO games (I've heard there are some stinkers). There were fun moments and unique gimmicks thrown into this game alongside the classic LEGO formula that made me want to go and 100% the game and grab all the Steam achievements, but the pacing and length were major downsides that kept this a very average experience

I loved this game so much! It was really fun and in a way easy on the brain :] currently going through getting the platinum and it is a LITTLE challenging at parts, but overall the game, like most lego games, is really fun! Definitely recommend playing with a friend/partner however, as some parts are extremely difficult to do alone (i failed ).

The only reason i rated this a 4.5, was because of the controls, idk if it was my controller or just the game, but alot of times throughout the gameplay it didn't pick up my movements. The triangle button was especially difficult to use, however i found a quicker way to change between characters so it wasn't too frustrating in the end. Probably just a personal issue but it meant that everything was not, in fact, awesome (ｰдｰ)

I can’t believe I am starting this out by complaining about the art style for one of these games because holy shit I don’t like it. Very high chance that it looks that way since they had an obvious deadline they had to meet. Now onto the actual game and holy shit they stretched this shit out to the extreme. So many of these levels cover like a minute and a half of the movie like level 3 or they make shit up like the water level (love how it’s one of the longer levels in the game). This game was 15 levels or bust since Lego Batman 2 and Marvel also had 15 but they have good pacing. I think this stretching problem would’ve been better if it was treated how the Lego Batman movie levels worked in dimensions even though they still padded in those levels. All the cutscenes are just ripped straight from movie which can be a letdown to some people but like who cares. The pants system is just worse thing then the item systems in Lord of the rings and hobbit since 1 you could bring more then 1 item and 2 you had to put them on before. Overall just watch the movie since this is just a worse way to experience the same with a shitty water level thrown in.
