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.
