    I know that this isn't an official sequel to LEGO Lord of the Rings but I think it is fair to treat this game as such. And when compared to LEGO LOTR, LEGO Hobbit feels just a little worse.

    Few new mechanics were added. Super simple puzzles for building object seems like a good addition. While quick-time events may be nothing new in gaming and are not considered a great thing, these few scenes (especially dancing dwarves in Bilbo's house) using QTE are super fun. Characters also now have little circles underneath to indicate which player is controlling which character. Apart from that - nothing has changed. We still have this open world filled with fetch quests and collectibles that are so fun to explore. Little breadcrumbs bricks are leading us from one story level to another and it is a great thing to re-visit these lands of bricked Middle-earth once again.
    One thing that I hate is a decision to make the game out of just two films from the trilogy. They could have waited that one year or release it as a DLC. -1 to the total score for that.
    Anyway, I had a lot of fun playing this game. Finishing it 100% feels just great and rewarding. There is something pleasing and relaxing to play it with my wife after a hard day at work.    … Expand

    Lego game with most boring and repeatable levels for sure. One thing that saves the rest is fun extra content and nice character roster. Anything else about this game is just average or bad.

    A really great Lego game, surprisingly fresh for a company famous for releasing the same product over and over again. [06/2014, p.56]

    LEGO The Hobbit has plenty of charm and plenty of content, but it's hard not to feel like the series is lacking some of the verve that it once had.

    At this point, criticising a Lego game for being much like the other Lego games feels somewhat pointless. It's tempting, especially after so many, but it's a series that's long been more comfortable changing the wallpaper than rebuilding the entire house, and that's not likely to change any time soon.
