Yet this is unquestionably the weakest franchise that the series has yet explored. It also has the co-op action, and a healthy bunch of characters to collect. It has the Lego gameplay, with all the usual scenery-smashing, brick-building, puzzle-solving stuff you might expect. Whether your favourite Lego game is Lego Lord of the Rings, Lego Marvel Super Heroes, Lego Batman 2 or the second Lego Harry Potter, it’s likely to have most or all of these things. After that comes a rich open world where you can build up your supplies of Lego studs and then collect them. Then the brilliant split-screen, co-op gameplay, followed by a beloved franchise with a big ensemble cast of recurring characters you’ll want to collect.
Next, some brilliant new feature or innovative twist that takes that gameplay up another level. First, a foundation of rock-solid, tried-and-tested Lego gameplay. Think of what all the best Lego games have in common. Available on Xbox One, PS4 (reviewed), Wii U, PS3, Xbox 360, PS Vita, PC
