Don't get me wrong I fuck with LEGO® Batman™ 2: DC© Super Heroes as much as the next guy, but I do think it's a massive shame that the main LEGO games barely incorporate building stuff into the gameplay loop. Yeah Harry Potter or Chase McCain or Batman get to wiggle their arms a bit and summon an entire shelving unit into existence but I don't do jack shit! I want to build something, I want to be creative, I want to have a minigame where the batmobile breaks down and I have to reassemble the engine from a set of instructions.

I haven't played a new LEGO game in like 7 years so I don't know, maybe LEGO engine maintenance is a thing now. I know they tried to make a LEGO Minecraft clone a couple years ago and it looked like shit. I guess the technology for emulating the full LEGO experience wasn't there yet...

I'm rambling but point is, I thought this was really cool. The most authentically LEGO 'LEGO Game' I've ever played. Made me feel like a little kid snapping together my LEGO Creator 3 in 1 house all over again, and I didn't even have to take out a mortgage to afford all the pieces!
