Not hugely into the LEGO games other than LEGO Jurassic World, but this was a pleasant surprise. It's a GTA-clone bringing to mind family-orientated predecessor Simpsons Hit & Run, but unlike that game (and even many other LEGO games), this has its own original story. Lots of the story beats riff off other action-adventure and/or crime films and it's written very well. Genuinely humourous too. I can't recall when I've laughed out loud this much playing a game.

It's standard LEGO game gameplay of using different character types to puzzle and combat your way through the story. It's fairly rewarding but simplistic. The driving is decent if not a little sluggish. Probably let down the most really by its very lacklustre soundtrack. Very boring and repetitive, and I think the inclusion of a radio, with instrumental tracks, could have been a really great addition.

Já pensou como seria um GTA de Lego? Este jogo traz uma experiência similar, dentro das características que os demais jogos Lego possuem.

É absurda a quantidade de segredos que esse jogo tem, que vão desde os 450 tijolos dourados, centenas de personagens e veículos e dezenas de extras/trapaças. Quase tudo nesse jogo rende progresso no percentual de completude do jogo.
Por falar em trapaças, feliz seja quem teve a idéia de adicionar o extra de fazer a color pistol não exigir troca de cor, pois ô habilidade chata de manipular no mundo aberto. Só faltou ter uma trapaça pra ter dinamite no bolso o tempo inteiro (ou tinha e eu não encontrei).
Infelizmente o jogo tem problemas de performance, rodando a 60fps nas fases fechadas e a 30fps e caindo no mundo aberto. Além disso, o jogo crasha em alguns momentos, dando um certo receio de ter corrompido o save.
No mais, como todo bom Lego, o humor é um ponto forte. Houveram vários momentos que dei risada com piada boba e com as referências de obras famosas (alô The Shawshank Redemption). Gostaria de uma sequência em que corrigissem as idéias que não deram muito certo e sem os problemas de performance, com certeza seria um grande jogo.

I've always been tolerant of the Lego games, they seemed to dominate the (Non-Mario) platformer genre for a while just by being competent, humorous games for all ages. As in, ALL AGES.

However, Lego City Undercover will always hold a special place as one of my favorite games ever. 10-year-old me was doubled over with cramps from laughing at just the first cutscene, and the game never stopped impressing me, even now I can barely remember all the characters and plot points.

This is really one of the funniest games I can think of, and probably has more fun crime movie references and things to do driving around its world than its 2013 counterpart GTA V. The latter game of course more cynical and grounded but nowhere near as fun or carefree. One of these days I'll 100% it and relive all the fun I had as a kid through all of its great chapters, from the dock to the dojo to the prison to the ice cream shop to the museum to the space station to... well I don't wish to spoil it, but the final confrontation between Chase McCain and Rex Fury.

This game saved my life.

I am 27.

My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and adopted our son together. They are now both 4 years old.

When we were going through our separation, I found myself lost and miserable. I was self destructive. I got so mad one day from everything spiraling out of my control that I punched some concrete in a moment of overwhelming emotion. That caused me to break my 5th metacarpal in my right hand... my working hand... my games hand.. the hand that I held and carried my children to bed with.. The hand I desperately needed to make sure I could continue to provide.

After learning of the severity of my self-inflicted damage, I was borderline suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man with no history of depression or anxiety. I have never had fits of rage, or been one to break down and cry, but I was in a low spot that just really buried me from being able to see the light on the other side.

Having nothing better to do, I searched for a game I could play, ONE HANDED while I recovered. I somehow stumbled upon this game and read some of the reviews. I decided that it had to be worth a shot... I must admit, I didn't beat the game, or play nearly as long as some of you. In fact, I may have only played this game a day or two.. With that being said, after doing so, I had a new found joy and hope for life. I was able to put behind me the pain and suffering that had been cast over me. I was able to experience other peoples joy and happiness. I was able to see the fruits of my "labor". I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ minutes to this music long enough to realize that I was going to be okay.

After coming to that realization, I turned the game off, and I went back to work. It hurt my hand like hell but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so damn sorry for myself, and I became the father I needed to be in that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving as.

Today, I am close friend with my kids mother. We don't fight, or argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents, and friends.

I now have 3 kids. My third child is, wait for it, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my own separation, and we just stumbled in to each others life unexpectedly. We have been in a relationship for a year now, and are very happy together.

Moral of the story, you never know what life holds in store for you, and if I would have given up when all the odds were stacked against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
