There’s been tons of fun games about Lego, no doubt about it. But every game has always been the theme of Lego overlaid on another. Such as Lego Racing; you build a car to race with. Also, the actual environment/background is not made of Lego. The purpose is to race a car, and the building of the car is a facet of the game. The same is true for… any of them,really. Lego Marvel Superheroes, Star Wars, Batman, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Marvel Superheroes, DC Supervillians, Lord of the Rings… etc. It’s a world with a ‘skin’ on Lego thrown on top. (Not that it’s not lovely)

LEGO Bricktales is absurdly fun and very intuitive controls (I actually play one-handed!), but horribly controlled with a controller.

    I got it when it came out and had fun with it. It’s kind of short, at least for an adult, but that makes it accessible for kids. And they added some (free) content later. Controls were pretty good. A little hard to get used to at first but I played it on Steam Deck while traveling — so with a controller on a small screen — and I imagine there’d be no learning curve with a mouse and monitor.

    Anyway, at the price it is there, it’s well worth it. You solve puzzles by building stuff but there’s usually plenty of extra pieces so you can make something fun/creative within the parameters of solving the puzzle.
