A clever and fun little game. The controls were a little bit wonky at times and that coupled with the many little unskippable Luigi character animations made for some frustrations. I liked it but definitely felt ready to be done. But I’m happy for Luigi.
Really short. Janky controls when climbing. They make you stay in place while fighting, feels unnatural. Game looks nice for a Quest game, voice acting is good.
A lot to love in this game, but I would have preferred more attention to the story campaign and levels over the open world. The open world stuff is IMMENSE and they tried valiantly to keep it feeling fresh, but it became such a huge chore. This game was also buggy as all hell, at least on Switch. Very frustrating controls at times, too, especially when trying to make accurate jumps. But a lot of it was fun, it all looked very good for what it was, the voice acting was pretty great, and it all had that trademark goofy LEGO humor. Not mad about playing through it, but not the best game out there, no surprises there.

Solid puzzle game. I didn’t find any of the puzzles to be super difficult but they were clever. The story was fine. The game was a good length for what it was. Things looked nice and controls felt pretty good.

Every time I fired this game up I thought, wow this is so charming! I liked the setting and the overall story. It was fun interacting with Moss. I also really liked this third person format, lots of potential there. The game was shorter than I would have liked. Sometimes the controls didn’t feel tight enough and led to some frustration. And I didn’t love the parts where you had to flip through the story book, as they were slow and literally took you out of the game. But overall I liked it.
